As a hien xsoft connoisseur I can confirm I almost never have the skates issue. Unless you monkey grip it should be OK, but everyone has a different grip. XSoft is the most risky, but also the most rewarding if you like it. It's actually firmer than the other XSoft pads.
@@VolcardoReviewer hey thanks for the reply, somehow in the meantime i decided mid is best, and i forgot your clip existed but it must have had an influence hah
Great comparison! I'm looking to get my first Artisan very soon, and currently own a Odin infinity. I was wondering whether the abrasiveness or roughness of the hien matches that off the odin infinity.
Thanks for the video. Gave me a ton more information about the pads than anyone else ever has given! Tho, would have loved a close up pressure test to see the difference in density. ^^
Tbh I got the XSoft and I don't have any issues with it scratching or contacting the bottom of my mouse. I don't press my mouse onto the pad and it's a bad thing to do, so it shouldn't be a problem.
Just ordered an XL mid raiden. Wanted a Shidenkai but Amazon didn’t have them and direct from artisans would take 3 times longer and my current mousepad is just positively awful.
Good vid, but i think you are wrong about xsoft tho. To me, if xsoft is "to soft" its that you use it wrong. What you explain here is that you push the mouse is the pad to get stoping power which is wrong, you should push your fingers and your wrist in the pad to stop, not the mouse. This is the reason why mouse feet are thin. Gj on the vid tho, hope we will get more soon, keep it up !
The soft isn’t in stock rn the mid is tho but idk which one to get I am using the glorious 3xl right now but I don’t really like it feels to slow for me I have used hard pad as well which I liked so I am leaning more towards the mid anyways does anyone know if I should still wait for soft or just get mid?
The mid will be MUCH faster than glorious 3xl, the soft even will be too. It really comes down to if you prefer more consistency and speed (mid) or more stopping power and slightly lower speed but still fast (soft). Also lots of people have a problem with pressing the mouse down too hard while they play, which can lead to jittery aim, the mid would be better if you have that problem.
that's nothing compared to my dinner table matting it's the smoothest thing ever and has the best surface I've ever tried(your dpi and slight movements can be count without loss of track) even if your hands gets sweaty over the long gaming hours you won't ever feel your skin to get a rough pulling over the surface of it specially if you often clean it with a hard cotton fabric (it won't ever get sticky)
I bought the mid and it feels fast af u know if has a break-in period? I tried before some mousepads like aqua control plus and MPC cordura for example and I like both.
Yo where can I get that white heat coil thing under your monitor? Been wanting something like that but the only ones I"ve seen in store are the big fans for an entire room. Also this has got to be the best review on artisan pads that doesn't have any sign of someone being overjoyed about their hyped up pad. Good job.
can you tell how the hien is compared to razer strider? i got the strider and i dont like it, it feels to much like hybrid i dont like the feel on the mouse feet, do you think i will like the hien? i have already the otsu v2 and raiden, but i am not sure because a lot of people say the strider is simlar to hien.
Bro this guy really just shows that he doesn't know what he talking about with xsoft. For it to be sinking you gotta use like so much force it's insane. Boogeyman theory💀
I just ordered mine off Amazon for only $70. I’m not in the mood the screw around with customs and all that. Hard pass I’ll just pay a premium. Lethal sells out to quick so idc.
i have the xsoft hien with a heavy mouse (outset) with a somewhat aggressive finger-claw grip and i have no issues with the plushiness. your opinion is whack
I wouldn’t say his opinion is trash but I feel like most peoples opinions are when it comes to xsoft. People act like your hand just sinks into the pad with no pressure at all.
@@Tjay07 i didn't really say that it was trash, but i will say that it's completely wrong, because now people wouldn't know the high quality sponge of an artisan xsoft because this dude says don't but it.
@@Tjay07 have to agree with his Joseph I’m extremely heavy handed and xsoft is my favourite one hate the mid and the soft his opinion is semi trash if you compare it to every one , not just people with his play style gotta try ‘em all yourself to get the feel tbh
Most concise and clear comparison I've seen of mid vs soft vs xsoft. Thank you!

great vid, you explain it very well even if i would always go xsoft over mid just for the comfort
I have both soft and xsoft and to me both are really good, xsoft is great if you're fingertip grip with a light hold.
@@VolcardoReviewer hey thanks for the reply, somehow in the meantime i decided mid is best, and i forgot your clip existed but it must have had an influence hah
thanks for this video helped me make my decision ill be going with the mid
Same!!!

Appreciate your comment
Ty for this. I made the right choose with the mid
Hi i know this video is 3 years old. But still gonna ask, what is the size of that the mousepad in this video
Thanks for your insight. Found this very useful!
Just ordered an XL mid raiden. Wanted a Shidenkai but Amazon didn’t have them and direct from artisans would take 3 times longer and my current mousepad is just positively awful.
should i get the l or lx cus where i live it coast a shit load of money for the xl and way less for the l
If u ever need a poron base to stick better, just spray a bit of water on your desk first and then put the pad down on it
will soft be good for c2? I played gsr my whole life
bought the soft, wine red, its so good and beautiful

@@3ildcard would you recommend the xsoft or soft because i also share the same grip style as you
Your videos are great! Maybe you could do a video on your headset or your keyboard? Would be very interesting
What's your red mouse called?
Corepads+xsoft is best combo. Thick mouse feet and plushy mouse pad
yep i just got an xL xsoft hien and have a superlight w core pads i’m at the end game setup
@@sylasfps same lol
soft + superglide = god tier
what about tiger ice gpx + zero xsoft?
How about corepad air?
Mouse pad is legit but ended up swapping to the zero. Had a hard time micro adjusting in valorant
Guys any recommendations for alternative to hien ?
in comparison which artisan mousepad is closest to the xtrfy gp4?
The soft isn’t in stock rn the mid is tho but idk which one to get I am using the glorious 3xl right now but I don’t really like it feels to slow for me I have used hard pad as well which I liked so I am leaning more towards the mid anyways does anyone know if I should still wait for soft or just get mid?

same, been using the 3xl for half a year and it doesnt glide anywhere. so thinking bout buying the mid
Do you have stock feet on the gpx?
that's nothing compared to my dinner table matting it's the smoothest thing ever and has the best surface I've ever tried(your dpi and slight movements can be count without loss of track) even if your hands gets sweaty over the long gaming hours you won't ever feel your skin to get a rough pulling over the surface of it specially if you often clean it with a hard cotton fabric (it won't ever get sticky)
TY I'm going for soft one
Awesome video!
best video i buy a xl soft red wine hayate ostu
me watching with an xsoft: hmm interesting
What the size of this mouse pad bro
I bought the mid and it feels fast af u know if has a break-in period? I tried before some mousepads like aqua control plus and MPC cordura for example and I like both.
how's the x and y with the mid?
@@desync7065 Not bad. The x y difference is there but isn't big
how different is the aqua control + when compared to the mpc450?? using the cordura one rn and was thinking if i should buy the ac+
@@ahnaf9433 Slowest but it is a very balanced pad with low static friction, nice speed and good control. I like the black version more fr me top tier
Is now slow?
Are you willing to sell either the Mid or XSoft? Via PayPal w/ seller protection
why not just buy a new one?
@@jaysuwu2423 cause they always sold out
@@hackxy1165 or just pay attention to the drops? I was able to get a artisan hien, zero and hayate otsu no problem
@@hackxy1165 gotta always check other websites
@@jaysuwu2423 what other websites sell them?
Hi can i know what size is this? is it XL?
Im gonna buy one..thabks a lot..😋❤
Thank you this is a great video. do more!

Hello. What's the best for fps? Xsoft, soft or mid?
Dude just watch the video.
Tysm
watching this after i bought a xsoft...
ur a boardzy fan 100%
Dang I bought the xs

If you’re too weak to make it sink just say that 🤷🏻♂️ no need to say he’s wrong I have the same issue.
@@jamestinyp he is wrong, you can push on it with a fkn stick and it will sink a little. If you play without mouse skates yeah maybe🤡
@@kazuyazw6783 you can push on it with a stick and still barely get it to sink? My guy, please hit the gym.
I just ordered mine off Amazon for only $70. I’m not in the mood the screw around with customs and all that. Hard pass I’ll just pay a premium. Lethal sells out to quick so idc.
Did it come good? Like it wasn’t bent or anything
Just ordered mine from amazon praying rn
Update, it came fine. Absolutely great mousepad.
