ArtisanNinja FX Soft Small Black Mouse Pad

The media could not be loaded.  I heard a lot about Artisan mousepads from YouTube videos so I figured I buy into the hype and I'm not disappointed at all. Previously I've been using a SteelSeries QCK small for the past 5 years and has been serving me great. Wanted to upgrade as I was curious what people consider a top tier mousepad would feel and I've never felt a mousepad this fast before. Texture has a very fine grainy feel while feeling very premium, as it should feel premium as these things are quite pricey compared to other mousepads. Stitching work on it is really well made and using this mousepad with a mouse with PTFE feet on it feels almost like skating on ice. I heard the Artisan Zero is more controlling than the Hien and I can def see that when I feel this as my mouse just breezes through the mousepad with so little force.In the video you can def hear the graininess I was talking about. I feel like if I heard this as a potential buyer I wouldn't like the sound and the implications of it as I'd assume the mousepad would feel slow but that isn't the case at all if you were to feel this in person. Could also be the cable dragging along the mousepad making most of the noise.In games this mousepad felt odd at first. Not odd in a bad way, just different since I've been using a QCK for 5 years so it def took time to get used to but I've immediately noticed how smooth my tracking felt as I lock onto targets in FPS shooters. I feel like once I get used to this my aim would be so much more consistent than it would be on the old QCK.Overall, I think this is a 10/10 for what I'm looking for. These mousepads also don't change in performance if it's too hot/cold or affected by humidity which apparently other mousepads suffer from. I wouldn't know since I don't get those issues on my old mousepad but it's nice knowing I don't have to worry about that while using this pad. If given a redo I'd prob go with the Artisan Zero because I hear that it's more balanced between speed and control compared to the Hien which is slightly more geared for speed but I'm still content with this purchase.Highly recommend this mousepad for users who use a high sens in games

I was looking for a new mousepad and saw a number of reviews raving about this company's mousepads. With the cost of it, I was a little concerned with how this would be treated during shipping, but it came in a very stiff package that kept it from getting folded or damaged. Right out of the box I could tell it would put all of the other mousepads I have had in the past to shame. This is definitely a premium product, and while it is expensive, so far it lives up to the hype and cost.

when you need accuracy or lose, worth it
