Artisan ZERO Soft Review - The BEST Mousepad Money Can Buy!

Quite possibly the best mousepad I've ever used, its really good for tacfps games like Valorant and CSGO because of its great stopping powah. Superb pad.

Best review I’ve found, covered everything I wanted to know!!! Subbed

I feel like I actually learnt something unlike a lot of reviews. Great.

Great review cyn! Ive heard nothing but good things about this pad. Might have to get it eventually. :D

[@Cynadote]

Thank you robsai, its an insane pad!

[@r8di833]

One day, endgame colabs with artisan and they make the best mouse-mousepad combo humanly possible

[@gotivanmomak]

i have endgame, best mousepad the only thing i dont like it destroys my sliders so fast. 2-3months and need change the surface is rough. Otherwhise best mousepad

[@b3isnerd427]

Great review man :) earned a sub

[@khai3873]

hayate otsu v2 extra soft is amazing man. It has almost the same stopping power but plenty of speed

[@elchile007]

First off love all the info on your videos. Question, would you recommend this pad on MW games? Looking for fast movements with control.

[@Bobbyeverything2000]

Now that you have the Zero & Hien, you've gotta check out the Hayate Otsu V2!

[@seiko_otaku]

In addition to artisan cloth pad,there is a place in Japan to sell metal mouse pads called Ninja Ratmats. It is expensive to cost about 100.000 yen in Japanese yen, but it is very good.

[@aaronhuynh7199]

Lint roller was really affective for me...u should try it😁 gl

[@trucings9013]

Love this video ❤

[@de_generate5224]

Ey cyn! Nice camera work!

[@iJansport]

Your arm sleeves need core pads. Sleeve sadly won't get the boardzy seal of approval.

[@FlipsMG]

For someone who plays OW and wants a pad a little on the fast side but still with control, and someone who also has problems with pressing the mouse into the pad too much unintentionally, would you recommend a Hein soft or a Zero medium? Or maybe something else?

[@Cynadote]

A Zero soft would be good

[@skolatti]

do u have the xsoft as well? and if u do, do u like it more?

[@mmcheddar]

heard a lint roller helps with the dust and hair

[@themouselady275]

excellent review, Cyn!

[@cristashi6638]

Just switched to the zero from a hien and I feel like this is the pad I should have bought from the start. I also play tac fps games with rainbow six siege as my main. I feel like the stopping powah isn't as great as people make it out to be on the hien... but definitely loving the zero now. Also got a hayate otsu xsoft otw currently, excited to check that pad out. Artisan gang :)

having hien atm, zero arriving tomorrow... i need that bit of control..

[@cwill2127]

Really appreciate the close up shots of the zero. Can you do the same close up shots in a YT short or something? I know it’s rough but it’d just be nice to see it up close too. Also, have you used the dechanic control, razer Goliathus control, or mousepad company pads? They’re all the same surface (feels very rough, but contrary to the name they are NOT control). Trying to figure out which is closer to those pads - the zero or hien

[@Cynadote]

Will do when I come back

[@pave5394]

insane video

[@marinlook]

Can I get a link for this mousepad? and What's the size of the mousepad used in this video?

[@nusumi9037]

Which do you prefer??? soft or xsoft? I play valorant and am a high-sens player.

[@quuub5089]

dont insult me, but to what can you compare the glide? ive used the qck, the normal glorious one and the endgame mpc 450 but this one i couldnt use so far because it doesnt work with my gpx superlight with corepads and im hopeing right not that tiger skates will fix this problem. if it doesnt work im would get the hien or the zero from maxgaming because i am from eu and there is a restock und july or sth. also do you have to play customs when ordering from maxgaming?

[@sololakey1906]

Can u review the Hayate Otsu and compare to zero and hien

[@Cynadote]

Maybe one day

[@phoed3426]

Hey cynadote apologizes for spelling your name wrong but real question how long did it take your artisan to arrive to you. I recently placed an order for mine and it’s been almost 2 weeks just wondering how long on average shipping took.

[@phoed3426]

Ik some ppl say it took 2 weeks but I’m just wondering

[@Cynadote]

1-2 weeks

[@TheKnudsen6]

Hey Cyn, a little late but how is the speed compared to a Qck for example?

[@Cynadote]

Zero should be a tad bit faster

[@frito0101]

shidenkai and FX zero are my go to pads depending on what i'm playing. Artisan really is a cut above the rest.

[@BoostMobile4103]

nice smb sir

which type of this artisan zero xsoft mousepad.... control type or speed type...

[@stevealexx]

So I’ve been on the hien soft for a month now I love it but I’ve heard the zero soft is better is it actually? What’s the main differences performance on hien is about the same as my old muddy mad pad since I’m used to it now

[@Cynadote]

smoother, more control

[@stevealexx]

@@Cynadote would you say the zero is better for tracking or flicks ?

[@heliosss69]

@@stevealexx Zero is better for flicks cause it has more control and Hien is better for tracking cause it has more speed

Let’s go bro, review good pads and don’t worry about the crap oem mousepads being released by every fool with a Twitter account

[@Cynadote]

Yessir!

[@Sixtaa]

for the hair try using a lint roller on your mouse pad before playing

[@adrianm5936]

is it better than the skypad mousepad bro

[@cawzzzz]

lint roller works good for hairs :)

soft

[@tinocabral4201]

@@SmartPunch would you recommend it?

[@Version-ru1mj]

The hairs are actually going to affect the performance. That's why I'm disappointed with zero. I would actually go Hien or just grab the Lethal Gaming Saturn / Saturn Pro. Lethal gaming is an artisan copy. Even before anything, Artisan was selling their pads on Lethal Gaming's site. But since Lethal Gaming made their own pads ( which are very similar to Artisan's ), they are not selling it. Also, they are using very similar fabric but they actually fixed the hair problem and it's only 40$ instead of 70-80$. Or get the Hien.

[@jawwk]

Would a 3M lint roller work to get the hairs out on the Zero? I have a Hien right now but will get a Zero soon just not sure which hardness, I'm thinking of soft or xsoft. :)

[@Cynadote]

Ive actually tried it and it does an ok job

[@alexm.4646]

hey, i use gpx superlight, i have corepads and i am thinking of buying a mousepad,should i get artisan fx zero xl soft or artisan fx hien xl soft?

sheeeeeesh

[@nobita8266]

Was your Zero broken in? Did you feel any difference? Was it faster or slower? Do you have any tip so that the Zero can be broken in evenly across the whole surface? My Zero is coming next week :D.
