1. The base of the AERO is a PU blend, it's not PORON 2. I forgot to mention the 4114 AERO - The Weave on the pad is actually diagonal instead of following the X/Y axis, because Elevate wanted it to benefit aimers since the hardest flick in aiming is the diagonal outer top flick. I could especially see this being useful in games like Fortnite, where diagonal pump flicks are insanely common, but it is most likely an irrelevant fun fact for most. 3. I'm also sorry for the editing mistakes, I definitely rushed the editing a bit too much, will take more time with it in the future.
Thank you for the review my friend. Being among some of these great names in our first ever release is truly a dream come true. Can't wait to keep getting better and show everyone what we can do ❤️
im maining a shidenkai v2 and its perfect specially on fast paced fps games.. coming from a skypad 3.0 it felt more comfortable to play with thats why i love so much!
yup i felt the same way about the kuroson ninja, it was great for the first week and then the speed would just change. some days itd be good and some it would slow down. Weird mud spots in different areas. I cant wait for their new stuff bc man that first week I had it, experience was awesome!
I really appreciate this video! As someone who uses a Glorious Elements ice mousepad with Superglide skates, its good to know there are some good options out there other then just getting a hard glass mousepad.
dont worry, i also am waiting for my zero to be shipped and i think it will still be good even if they release a new version.. theres really nothing much to improve with recent version as reviews were giving good praise to it
how would you describe 4114 firmness? I would expect something like infinite speed v2 mid (i have it), so quite firm, but actually has some plush (I don't like it, I want firm). Is it similar?
I honestly can't tell you, since I seem to be one of the only people out there having this static electricity issues on the Raiden if you're from the US and the IM Speed V2 is readily available, I'd probably go for it over the Raiden
I personally am a big fan of modding keyboards, you can make most keyboards out there sound and feel so much better, but that's also quite the rabbit whole itself.
im from swiss too and I have to say I will order the artisan raiden mid. cause I always killed like top 250 players on warzone with it. and without artisan. i had no chance❤. I like to use the Mid version cause it has good tracking properties and im soo fast in close range fights. really good review jakeu❤. in every review they recommend the raiden mid. maybe i will finally reach crimson rank with the raiden mid😂
i just got a vaxoo 70g mouse and i wanted to know which mousepad of them would you recommend for it between hayate otsu mid and hayate otsu soft? (i’m currently using the saturn from lgg and had a death adder v3 before) btw i’m also swiss hehe
Wait.. you're saying the Strikepad is as fast as a glass pad? I have it and I LOVE IT. I thought it was an entry-level speed pad so I was trying to go for more speed and buy a glass pad.
@@sutrefps Sorry for the late reply. I made a rookie mistake of using a glass skate on it, and the Strikepad has fiberglass coating. So I pretty much broke it and it's now really slow sadly.
Does the InfintyMice Speed Pad Work with a Sleeve? I know the 4114 Aero Does Very Well. Are they Similar? Also Does The InfintyMice Control Pad work with a Sleeve? I'm thinking of ordering Both.
@@jakeufps og cs player from back before 1.6 days, i switched from controller recently back to mouse and have only used the hien for the year ive been on a mouse, bought a new hien and otsu but didnt like the otsu bc im use to the texture on the hien??? what are ur thoughts if i wanted to try a control pad like the infinitymice one, or artisan zero, or vaxee pb ??? can you provide any insight or suggestions?? like will i have a hard time adjusting? i know you prefer the control pads vs a hien or something fast, i wanna try that world for a few weeks ty
4:48 - Exactly how i felt with Hien during the Soft/Xsoft craze. I regret getting Xsoft because it just feels so weird on stiff surface. Btw, Raiden V2? Isn't yours already a V2, i thought they upgraded it like almost a year ago now.
iv had the strikepad pro for a week and im fairly certain i can already feel it slowing in the centre (similar to the vancer ice), i will update the comment in another week if it gets worse, the fnatic jet is an ugly colour but its leagues better than anything else iv tried myself purely based on the fact that the material wears down more slowly than other hybrid pads
@@notnered yes, it eventually died like every other pad with this material haha, it lasted longer than the vancer ice but only by a few weeks, im now maining the fnatic jet as iv had it a year and it still performs great
i dont think so...i have mpc 450 too and i thought about buying this fantech mousepad because i thought it would be faster, but i really don't think so.

My worry is the durability and how long that pad can stay consistent

hard agree, hope we'll get a similar but much more consistent experience with their new pads 🙏

Banger video! Speed pads go zoom zoom
Wait are artisan actually doing revisions of every pad? I legit just bought a zero and raiden today 😭
the changes are insanely minimal, just super niche little fixes mostly for their cloth pads
dont worry, i also am waiting for my zero to be shipped and i think it will still be good even if they release a new version.. theres really nothing much to improve with recent version as reviews were giving good praise to it
omg just searching abt speed pads and you upload like one hour

love the thumbnail
Would you recommend infinity mice speed v2 over raiden right now?

@@jakeufps i live in spain but both are available. Raiden for like 65€ and IM for 45€
@@jakeufps I think it's just incompatible with bünzlis, I am having the same issue on my Raiden
my pad photos have now showed up in both boardzy and jakeu's videos. I have peaked in life 😤😤
Might have to rethink on that one, I didn't use anything that wasn't mine on this video 🗿

Great review! I still think the Hien is the goat of speed pads
isnt the raiden the speed pad?
Hien is not a speed pad its slow af i own it
Should I wait for the Raiden v2?
have you tried the padsmith crucible xl?
feel like its missing in this list, otherwise very solid vid
Has Artisan explained how they'll be improving their pads this year?
Here are some of the changes, can't find them all rn: twitter.com/uNleashed_jp/status/1752900551594107311
jakeu how can i stop buying new mouse, mousepad and keyboards a lot. like I get a new keyboard and want a new one a week after, any tips?

Best mouse pad for Val, Overwatch , apex ?
Im coming from a Gamesense Rush don't really know what speed pad i wanna go for
Glass pad

Do you know if there will be a newer version of shidenkai v2? Dunno if i should buy it now. I wanna avoid Sora 4k and V2 accident lol

Which version of the infinity mice speed do you use? Soft or mid?
MID
how fast is the fantech stripad compared to endgame gear mpc450? does it have any humidity issues?
Can you tell me pls What is best mouse skates for v2 shikens mousepad from artisan because i dont know
for the mid one, probably obsidian dots, but I'm fine with my corepads
Are there is another pad have a similar glide and surface like the StrikePad and the JetPad from FNATIC ?
What is your most favorite mouse skate?
the conventional Corepad skates
@@jakeufps not the x-raypad jades?
Whats best Artisan Speed pad i need speed and hard pad not soft because the mouse always sinks in i guess mid is okay
Can i use glass skates on strikepad?
you should try the lgg neptune
on the way already o7
@@jakeufps W
if you really want speed get the glorious elements air mousepad and get some glass skates. Trust me THAT is speed.
is hayate more controlled then hien??
I'd say similar, but much less textured. I haven't had a HIEN in ages, but from my memory, I'd say that the OTSU is a tad slower in general.

there will be a new revision after this one, but they don't have an ETA yet
Just got my Raiden Mid, I think I am now part of the mid gang 😭
Yup! Another #jakeuclassic 😮

damn, that's interesting, definitely let me know if that gets any worse
@@jakeufps i have ptsd from falling in love with the vancer ice and then it completely falling apart within 3 weeks so i will let you know haha
any changes in glide after a month?
@@notnered yes, it eventually died like every other pad with this material haha, it lasted longer than the vancer ice but only by a few weeks, im now maining the fnatic jet as iv had it a year and it still performs great
@@MattysEdits is fnatic jet also fiberglass like coating?. And how fast is it compared to the strikepad?
Is mpc 450 slower than the fantech strikepad?
i dont think so...i have mpc 450 too and i thought about buying this fantech mousepad because i thought it would be faster, but i really don't think so.
@@letmefall2190 alright, thank u
stg these companies wilding with these prices for some piece of cloth
Artisan Raiden? Raiden is much better than the otsu imo
oops, messed up my chapters, fixed it now --> 05:33 - Artisan Raiden MID
Mpc 450?
I just can't bro my strider die after 6 months 😢
Aero can't seem to restock either lmao
