Nice Review. You forgot to mention tho that it got those new conductive threads in the weave to prevent static Build up while Gaming that Can cause muddines and inconsistency
Thanks a lot! It’s pretty much the same in terms of dynamic friction (resistance while moving), but approximately 3% slower static, so i’m not sure if it will really be noticeable. I wouldn’t say it’s an upgrade per se, but more just a different experience, especially with the texturing. It depends on what you’re looking for really! It’s definitely a unique pad, and I enjoy it a lot because if the X/Y difference compared to other pads, especially in siege when it comes to vertical play, tracking C4s etc!
Based on my testing, a good bit slower, roughly 15-16% compared to the hien. This is with both pads using a Mid base. The major “issue” you will run into is the texture - glass pads are (mostly) super smooth, while these two pads have a texture. If you don’t mind this texture, the k83 will be more consistent while the Hien will be faster but has a considerable X-Y difference. If you DO care about the texture, I’d recommend looking into a Raiden
I have to be honest, I’m not very familiar with esptiger’s latest lineups. In terms of the weave I think you’ll struggle to find something similar just because it is truly unique to artisan for the time being (at least to my knowledge). In terms of speed, anything on the balanced to controlled range will do. I may have a more indepth look into the esptiger lineup some day, so subscribe to catch that!!

Great review Max! How much slower is this compared to the Zero Mid Daidai Orange? Do you think it's an upgrade over the Zero for Siege?

@@mxwllst how rough is the key83 mud surface vs zero mid?
hien vs key83? im coming from glass and enjoyer a speedier experience with still some good stopping power
moderately slower than hien, faster than zero. ive heard its very similar to glass though

is it better then artizan zero Soft?
It’s definitely different, the zero has far leas texturing and feels a little smoother than the k83, in terms of speed they are extremely similar
Otsu vs Key83, which one do you prefer?
The Otsu and the Type99 are the 2 only Artisan pads I haven’t tried yet. I could though 😏
Which more affordable mouse pad would you recommend similar to key83 (esptiger)
