ArtisanHien (Black/XL) [FX-Hi-SF-XL-B] FX Soft (Japan Import)

This pad is fantastic for people who want a fast pad but doesn’t sacrifice much control. I ordered both the Zero and the Hien and I ended up sticking with the Hien. It is a bit more rough to the touch but after playing for many hours on it, it hasn’t been uncomfortable whatsoever. The Zero is much softer to the touch and has more control which makes it a slightly more precise over the Hien, but sacrifices some speed. I mostly play Apex and other shooters so having a pad that’s very balanced overall is great. The material is extremely durable and super easy to clean. The Zero may require a lint roller if it gets dusty and can frizz if you scrub it to clean. The Hien is much tougher and can simply wipe dirt/dust off. They will survive the washer if you require that to clean. Would recommend only using free and clear soaps with cold water and possibly just hang drying or low heat and hang dry the rest.

Durable, very smooth

This mousepad is a good purchase. It’s quality is what made me make the decision to buy it. When you receive this mousepad it comes in a flat box so that no wrinkles damage the mousepad. In the box there is nothing else than the mousepad, meaning you pay for only what you wanted,( This mousepad also came within a week of buying ). This mousepad when I first put it on my desk was very sturdy and didn’t seem to move at all even when I made very large and quick mouse movements. This mousepad also helps you mouse glide along it’s surface extremely smoothly causing you to get better aim or precision in whatever your doing. Along the border of the mousepad there is very clean stitching, so I assume this mousepad will last a long time. To sum it up, this mousepad is definitely one of the nicest mousepads in my opinion you can buy right now.

As always this one don’t disappoint hands down some of the best mousepads out there , it’s really good

Came in a flat box, to keep it nice and flat( good on you guys for doing that ❤️). Out of the box, it kind of feels like a very fine cloth. At first I was worried I was going to create a rubbed spot on my wrist and arm from rubbing on it so much, no rubbed marks. As of writing this, it has served me through multiple games of battling for the point like overwatch, fighting for my survival in sons of the forest, exploring caves and making crazy machinery in mine craft. Really let's your arm breathe on it, haven't had a single bit of moisture from my arm since I've been using it. It also has a rubberish type bottom so it will stick to the table and not move around.(downside if you like to move your mouse pad around itll be a bit irritating.) Solid mouse pad for the solid price. I'd recommend this as a mid to end tier upgrade on your setup or just want a high quality mouse pad.

This is a really good mouse pad. The material is soft but provides a bit of friction which helps with my aim.2 things that could be better:- I'd like it if the pad were longer (width is fine)- $80 for a mouse pad is steepThat said, this is a great product. You won't be disappointed.

Zero = too slowHayate Otsu = too slowRaiden = too fastHien = juuuuuust rightI've tried all those Artisan pads and eventually this one seems to have just the right mix of good speed but still just a touch of control to keep it movement from being too wild. I've used this in wild, fast paced tracking shooters like Apex Legends and Overwatch, to flicky, angle holding games like Rainbow 6: Siege and Counter-Strike and the Hien provides whatever you need for either. Versatility and good quality, would recommend if you are unsure of what kind of pad you need.

Coming off a basic QcK cloth pad I've been using for years, this is an incredible upgrade. I've never used any kind of speed pad before, and while the material and feel was a little odd at first, after a few hours of use it was incredible. Aiming with this feels so free and natural, I don't ever see myself returning to muddy/control cloth pads. I may experiment with the Zero sometime down the road, but I primarily play faster paced games like Apex, and I don't play competitively at all, so I don't necessarily need to maximize control for games like CS/Valorant. The feel of the glides are so smooth and comfortable, it's hard to describe until you've felt it for yourself. Definitely recommend.
