I’m a Rainbow six siege player. I want a mouse pad to control gun recoil without any issue and moving my aim smoothly. Can you help me to buy the best one please?
Ive been using a sleeve with a Zero Soft Black for awhile now and it totally works for me. Just got the new XXL Daidai Zero in Mid and that shit is so rough, its impossible with a sleeve, the tug is crazy. I thought the Mid would be smoother for a sleeve over Soft, maybe I have to wear it in?
I need your help. I play only valorant. I can't decide between the LA Honda Rizz(doodles) or the LA Honda blitz. I played the walhaut before. LA Honda describes the blitz a fusion hybrid version out of the artisan zero and walhaut. I don't know if I like smooth when I am used to a little bit of walhaut roughness what would u recommend. 😅???
Hi, two questions, i want the consistency, i am thinking about mid but not sure if i shouldnt get soft, also i play cs2 and i fight in my head, a lot of people use Zero, but i feel like faster mousepad can be better (i am thinking otsu or even raiden) i play with gsrse rouge and i feel like its too slow
Bit of an odd question but most people reccomend these for fps games but I was wondering which would be reccomended for league of legends? Obviously not the diff x and y one
What would you recommend for league? I have xsoft raiden but it feels a tiny bit too fast. I can control it pretty well but I still need something more controlled. I'm worried Zero might be too slow for me but I heard Hien has a pretty gritty/sandy surface? Raiden has the perfect surface feeling.
i’ve got the hayate otsu in xsoft but sometimes i feel like it is not too consistent, and causes me to switch to my Raiden mid. might also have to do with the humidity in my tropical country (90+ very often) do you think i should get a key 83 once it releases, or should I try out a hayate otsu soft?
I have the lgg venus (not pro) and I want one with similar feel and static friction to it. anyone know which one of these is closest? I've been looking at the otsu and hien
I came across your video 2 days ago and am thinking about getting the zero soft and the Otsu but for the Otsu I do not know what type of thickness to get what would your recommendation be?
So you're telling me I need a Raiden mid for the fatest cloth experience? gotcha. Btw, are you gonna review the Blitz hard? I feel like that pad might contend the Raiden for fastest cloth pad but idk i haven't tried either lol
Hi, what would you recommend for me as an Artisan mouse pad knowing that I mainly play fortnite, cod, R6, valo, minecraft and gta 5, using viper V3 pro with the stock skates. ty for the answer.
you said that the raiden and both the shidenkai are the fastest cloth pads. so which should i pick if i want a fast pad but still a bit of stopping power? i have a hien xsoft right now but i dont really like it.
had a hayate otsu, quickly developed a "slow spot" in the middle which wouldn't wash or clean out, almost completely ruining the pad for me, just ordered a hien soft xl so hope that's better
@@sheluvtony2022 great so far, haven't had an issue yet! Just got the new lamzu x fanatic maya x 8k too awesome pair, but the hien is the best pad I've had to date honestly
Do any of the recent pads have hair issues? My Zero (updated logo version) has always had an issue with trapping hair and dust particles onto the surface, more so than any other black pads I have. Would be interested in picking up a type 99 and hayate otsu as well if those don't have hair issues.
zero is more versatile for more games. if Valorant is the ONLY game you are pro in, then the type99 will be more at home (compared to pads like the qck, gsr, and gsrse)
I would rank type99 saturn pro radar. radar is good, but the type99 is slower and more consistent. and the saturn pro is just a better radar in all ways.
good video yet it made it harder for me to decide since all games i play go in favor of different artisans mousepads lol ( val / apex / rust / r6 ) Ive ranked high in all ( immo3 / masters / old diamond but am really looking forward to a artisan mousepad that can give me comfortability and quality rather then my old worn 20$ logitech one. i run 800dpi with slow-middish sensitivity and not sure if i should go for speed or control ? any feedback would be great
@@stubbyfps appreciate the response , just want to get a combo mousepad + mouse id like and not have a random one or the most " meta " one . went from a random logitech to the gpro which was best , now im thinking ill take u up on that zero soft + maybe a razer viper pro
i’ve been using a glorious cloth pad for a while i play valorant and fortnite competitively what do you think i should go for hien or zero also what hardness
because the zero has exposed micro fibers that catch on to 99% of sleeves. most pads with closed fibers will work well with sleeves (depending on weave pattern)
if i have a hien for a full year and wanted to try something slightly slower what would you say fits that from artisan? zero? key83? i tried the hayate otsu and that was too fast compared to the hien i thought or just didnt have any stopping power
@@scottmicacchi6284 The key83 is slightly slower than the otsu, but if the otsu was too fast then the zero is your best bet. The video already has the mousepads ordered chronologically from slowest to fastest.
iv had a Hyperx for years now i want to upgrade my mouse pad i don't know anything about mouse pads i play Val and Cod im also getting a superlight 2 any recommendations
for those games, i would say either the zero or otsu. Zero is better for consistency, the otsu has a xy difference. so for cod you might have an issue with flicks.
Hey i could need some help. I play really low sens (100cm/360°) I mainly play CS2. The size of the Artisan mousepads would be ok for but i still dont know which one i should choose. I use my whole arm to aim. Thank you for the Video.
this kou with the different x and y axis intrigues me. i have my arms slightly spread to the sides so my horizontal line isn't horizontal on the pad. does that mean i have to orient the pad at a different angle to get the desired results?😅
great quality but if you want to take it up higher, fixing the large amount of focus breathing in post or using a different lens would make the video less distracting
Nice roundup, how would you compare the xSoft Zero to the Soft or mid Type99? I've had the Zero soft for over a year now and I still feel like i'd rather have a little bit more stopping power without losing my flicks and general glide of the pad.
now i finally know what artisan pad i need to buy (i have no money)
The issue is, you won't have money AFTER buying the mousepad
Out of all the reviews I've watched comparing the Artisan mousepads, you explained it the best and also straight to the point. Thank you.
i love the tilt test you do to show the friction, havent seen any other reviewer do that
i actually got the idea from AimAdapt, ill try and incorporate into more of my videos in the future!
@@stubbyfps doesn't optimum tech do the same sort of thing?
@@z34lewis zero clue, i dont really watch his content.
He uses a blow dryer not tilt test@@z34lewis
This was such a good video Stubby, nice work man.
Thanks! This video was legitimately great. Made some notes and will make up my mind soon!
Your setup and keyboard are gorgeous.
Great video and great examples used for people who play specific games. Ordered the Zero!
Maan I want the zero too, literally got sold out on maxgaming the second I was about to get it
type 99 gotta be the mousepad for cs/valo
is it gonna release early may
Great breakdown, thank you! 🙏🏼
Nice! Now I understand pads better
we gotta play val together sometime! Keeping my eyes out on the Type-99!
I’m a Rainbow six siege player. I want a mouse pad to control gun recoil without any issue and moving my aim smoothly. Can you help me to buy the best one please?
You know it's stubby approved when it's not broken by his grip
Stubby please turn your microphone up. I'm definitely going to try to buy a raiden after watching this guide.
Ive been using a sleeve with a Zero Soft Black for awhile now and it totally works for me. Just got the new XXL Daidai Zero in Mid and that shit is so rough, its impossible with a sleeve, the tug is crazy. I thought the Mid would be smoother for a sleeve over Soft, maybe I have to wear it in?
It is because of the orange color
as a plane nerd i love that they name their pads after japanese fighter planes.
Great helpful video thanx a lot dude!
Would you say the key 83 is more control than the otsu?

How do we clean a mouse pad ?
Stubby what type would you get for the Zero for Valorant, like a zero soft?
Was goin thru hassle between Zero and the Otsu. Timing is godsend.
so which one did you choose? i am new to artisans. i usually play valorant. so which one to get?
i am confused between Zero Soft or Otsu XSoft
@@praveengarg7025 Decided to visit Japan in July and buy both. I live relatively close. Sorry couldn't help
Bit of an odd question but most people reccomend these for fps games but I was wondering which would be reccomended for league of legends? Obviously not the diff x and y one
Sadly I don’t know anything about league game play.
But the zero, type99 or key83 might interest you.
great video
What would you recommend for league? I have xsoft raiden but it feels a tiny bit too fast. I can control it pretty well but I still need something more controlled. I'm worried Zero might be too slow for me but I heard Hien has a pretty gritty/sandy surface? Raiden has the perfect surface feeling.
Artisan raiden normal or soft?

Great video, but you could also just buy a Hien Mid and be done :>
Great video.
I came across your video 2 days ago and am thinking about getting the zero soft and the Otsu but for the Otsu I do not know what type of thickness to get what would your recommendation be?
Hien x soft has been the king pad for me.
Are you sure the hayate otsu has a different x / y axis speed? I thought it was only on the kou
I have the zero soft and hayate otsu mid. I think i will order the hien and raiden next
i use high sens in valorant (1600dpi and 0.255) which fast and control should i buy im scared that 99 would be to slow to do flicks
So you're telling me I need a Raiden mid for the fatest cloth experience? gotcha. Btw, are you gonna review the Blitz hard? I feel like that pad might contend the Raiden for fastest cloth pad but idk i haven't tried either lol
nah the blitz doesnt even come close to the raiden.
@@stubbyfps aight good to know, thanks bro
I wonder whats the best for League .. im between raide mid and the soft raiden that is coming soon
can i ask what sizes are the mousepads in your video?
All xl sized, 490x420
Very good Video. I love the macros

my cat loves to rub on my mousepad and its hasnt been an issue really.
still gets some hairs stuck tho
Need the Key 83 🛐 great video hubby… I mean Stubby
Where can you even find it? It’s not on their website. Was it discontinued ?
@@foretell6819 not released yet. someone from artisan mentioned a late june/somewhere in july release.
What would you recommend for pro Valorant? I’m considering between the Zero Soft and Type 99 Soft 😅
zero is more versatile for more games. if Valorant is the ONLY game you are pro in, then the type99 will be more at home (compared to pads like the qck, gsr, and gsrse)
Hello friend. Lovely review, how is the type99 on the arm, does it feel smooth or rough? cheers
lightly textured. similar to the saturn pro.
@@stubbyfps cheers bud ❤️
stubby what is that picture behind the camera on your desk?
The Zero Red character that comes in box with the iems.
@@stubbyfps thank you
Can you please compare the gamesense radar, saturn pro v2 soft and the type 99 for me in terms of speed vs control? How close to each other are they?
I would rank
type99
saturn pro
radar.
radar is good, but the type99 is slower and more consistent. and the saturn pro is just a better radar in all ways.

i would say something in tghe middle if you arent sure, the tried and true answer is a zero soft.
everything else would be MUCH different overall.
@@stubbyfps appreciate the response , just want to get a combo mousepad + mouse id like and not have a random one or the most " meta " one . went from a random logitech to the gpro which was best , now im thinking ill take u up on that zero soft + maybe a razer viper pro
i’ve been using a glorious cloth pad for a while i play valorant and fortnite competitively what do you think i should go for hien or zero also what hardness
i would do the zero soft
i really want a mouse pad for csgo fortnite, and overwatch what should i do
Otsu soft
why doesn't zero go well with arm sleeve? and which mousepad goes well with arm sleeve?
because the zero has exposed micro fibers that catch on to 99% of sleeves.
most pads with closed fibers will work well with sleeves (depending on weave pattern)
@@stubbyfpscan you recommend any zero like mouse pads with closed fibers? i sweat a lot in summer and need to wear that arm sleeve unfortunately 😂
I cant find a k83 on the artisan page. Is it a otsu v2 ?
nope, i dont think its out yet. but should be soon!
Im an extremely low sense player. What would you recommend?
i would say the zero or otsu.
something that has a decent amount of glide and control!
Hi, this is a lot later on but does the Raiden wear out fast?
not fast, but it does wear over time.
id say at least a year
@@stubbyfps Do you have a video on how to preserve a mousepad? Im a highschool student so i dont have much money lolol also thank you for responding
what size of the zero did you use in the video?
i use 490x420 for all artisan pads 🙏🏽
@@stubbyfpsso it’s the xl size for the pads?
I wud like higher volume voice. My phone succs and while watchin in da bath it hard to hear :( das okay, closed captions to the rescue! I love my hien
Yeah I started cranking the volume in future videos. I just forget to do it most times out of 10 😅
if i have a hien for a full year and wanted to try something slightly slower what would you say fits that from artisan? zero? key83? i tried the hayate otsu and that was too fast compared to the hien i thought or just didnt have any stopping power
any suggestions after trying them??
looking for some input or a scale of fastest to slowest plz
@@scottmicacchi6284 The key83 is slightly slower than the otsu, but if the otsu was too fast then the zero is your best bet. The video already has the mousepads ordered chronologically from slowest to fastest.
You should adjust your mic settings this is tiring to listen to.
Do type 99 as slow as aqua control plus ?
slower forsure
Question, how do you get the type 99?=
Was sent early by artisan.
They are planned to release in May
what keyboard are you using
wooting in a tofu 60
What’s faster zero or key83
Key83
Type 99 xsoft or soft better? Tks
soft for me
but a LOT of my opinions about the type99 are from the xsoft
where can i buy a key 83
Artisan website
wait shidenkai v2 is discontinued
afaik yes, there where wearing issues on the coating again.
hopefully they can it back with improved surface coating.
❤❤❤
Classic or fx

fuck, i went for the otsu not the k83

which is better for apex legends for comp setting ?
This is the best explanation of artisan pads by far tysm
been following you on twitter for 6-8 months now and just subbed
Why do you talk so fast brother?
its how ive always been, i try to talk slower but then i speed up randomly.
been that way my whole life
@@stubbyfps ive been working on it too, im guessing adhd?
Is the roughness of the key 83 closer to the Otsu or the Hien?
otsu!
Thanks for vid man. Really awsome break down of the artisan pads. Cheers.

I purchased an artisan raiden xsoft mousepad size M but I don't know if this size is long enough, I had to buy size L ☹️
Bought the shidenkai V2 on release only to get an email saying they over promised and were actually sold out :(
this kou with the different x and y axis intrigues me. i have my arms slightly spread to the sides so my horizontal line isn't horizontal on the pad. does that mean i have to orient the pad at a different angle to get the desired results?😅
Have the Raiden mid and Hien soft. Nothing beats the Raiden imo. So consistent and I use Jade and obsidian dots as well as super glides v1
What do you play? i was about to get the mid but now raiden soft is coming , i like speed and fluid movement but i aprecciate a bit of stopability
I got the zero xsoft sadly lol I play overwatch csgo warzone and mmos moba
I cant wait to purchase a new artisan pad based off this video (have not watched the video)
great quality but if you want to take it up higher, fixing the large amount of focus breathing in post or using a different lens would make the video less distracting
Yeah it’s been fixed in recent videos, I switched to a manual focus cine lens so no focus breathing should happen!
@@stubbyfps appreciate it
what mousepad should i get i mostly play only warzone call of duty what’s the best mousepad and in case skates if needed thank you very much
I really like my hien or type99 for COD.
Drastically different pads but they are both great .
Oh thank you, now tell me how I get my hands on that type 99?
Thanks for your review ! which is the best artisan for valorant? for 1600 DPI. I prefer to have control
Artisan Zero
Awesome vid Stubby, dont really plan on buying one but aye just had to watch it.
The key83 sounds more and more interesting.
What would u recommend for siege a Zero soft or a Zero mid because i know some of the best use the mid
zero soft all day, just a better feeling pad over the mid
Great advice!
i love my shidenkai v2
Nice roundup, how would you compare the xSoft Zero to the Soft or mid Type99?
I've had the Zero soft for over a year now and I still feel like i'd rather have a little bit more stopping power without losing my flicks and general glide of the pad.
I’ve never tried the Xsoft zero, but I do know it slower dynamically but not by a large margin like the type99 soft. The soft type99 is REALLY slow 😭
@@stubbyfps So unless I really want to slow down my mouse movement I should not go for the Type 99 if I got that right?
