Artisan Mouse Pads, JUST HYPE? ft. Boardzy 

Could you add a page for mousepads in addition to the headset, mouse and keyboard ones?

having the giveaway only be available to people who pay to support you is fine my dude.

@@MrM45ter yeah like in the top 5?

6500 languages in the world and you chose to speak facts

Is it the same speed and glide as when you bought it?

What about HayteOtsu- Xsoft for r6? Would you guys recommend it more than Hein & Zero.

@Russian Invasion of Ukraine Bet, thanks! You recommend Zero- mid, soft, or x-soft?

Fr tho hahaha

@@christianalbertcarillo7117 "If you can't buy ice pad, get the artisan." I fr died there. It should of been the opposite and it still doesn't make sense cuz there are better options even without artisan.

@@rheejin9987 better options: X-ray pad and mpc450

As long as the whole mousepad reddit sub , lmao. Lately everyone is shilling for Artisan.

@@counterfeitpills7621 no i have one, its the cloth pad

@@counterfeitpills7621 just so you know, i am talking about the cloth pad, not the hybrid elements pad

@@counterfeitpills7621 the actual desk or extended pad isnt bad bruh... but the elements are the ones that are trash

do you reckon an XS zero would have more stopping power?

@@coza10 if u tend to push down on ur mouse, yes.

idk if it is worth the price difference, time to get a gigantus v2 to compare to my zero

Do you wash it? Does it turn slower over time?

@@MaestroOfficial washed it once. Can’t tell if it lost speed.

I totally agree. After using my Hien soft for a week straight, I didn’t want to put down that speed.

Where do you get the Hien?

@@howlinghoo5123 lethal gaming or Amazon, but be careful with Amazon because they're abbreviated so make sure it's the right size thickness and type pad you want.

What about HayteOtsu- Xsoft for r6? Would you guys recommend it more than Hein & Zero.

@@Sebas.504 I think the Otsu is a love or hate pad. I know lots that love it but I personally don't like it. Zero, Hien and Otsu would be the more popular pads though. I guess for R6 would you prefer a more control based or faster pad? Zero if more controlled and Hien or Otsu if you want a bit faster. The new Raiden is also a great pad but also on the faster end

in mankind

it says it's the most popular on the packaging(zero), so maybe it has the most sales.

@@rheejin9987 Oh, is that so? Well I'll confirm that as my zero arrives very shortly. It's the holidays so nobody at the customs in my country works at these times

I have the Hien, I would recommend the Zero since the Hien is very rough to the touch. Even with a sleeve it’s a bit abrasive.

@Comkio , update

Which one do you main or like more hien or zero

@@xPure. I use Zero for cs. Main hien for basically every other game.

@@buddhastl7120 wbt for r6 siege

@@tracelarson3212 Either is fine.

@@buddhastl7120 I can get around the feeling of roughness on my hand, aside from that, is it too different that the zero gets the nod over it?

I bought the hien rx xl soft and waiting for it to deliver, and nice dbz name and pfp

You still like it?!

@@vogg9835 yes ofc, its still holding up and I'm still using it.

@@arale338 thanks for the update! I’m trying to order one myself. Just waiting for them to re stock sometime.

@@arale338 mine has a slow spot that washing wont get rid of, idk if I should order another one or not

I might make this my next artisan purchase since I have the zero and hein

Make sure not the old version. The new version it would say (New) on their website next to Hayate Otsu. They should've given it a new name imo

@@blade8800 there the Hayate, Hayate Kou, and the Hayate Otsu. Otsu IS the new model.

How long you used it for? I’ve heard of problems with durability in older models. I dislike the texture of my Hien but love the aiming and am considering it.

tried it and u right lol

That is because of grime and dirt accumulating, not really because of the pads themselves, altough some pads are very resistant to loosing friction due to dirt.

Even the artisan ones get muddy what are you on about... Just wash your mousepad and it wont be a problem.

Where in Japan? I lived in Yokosuka.

@@TheTechne Nice! I lived and still actually live in Tokyo!

@@reocraft3887 oh sweet. yeah I was about an hour out from. use to always go to tokyo/shibuya

@@TheTechne techne, you should make a video about your time in japan. Maybe a story time or what ever you feel like. Im very intrigued haha. New artisan mousepad owner here by the way! I have the hayate otsu and hot damn, I hate to say it but I love it way better than my glorious pad. Also, I have it on top of the glorious xxl mouse pad and it does not budge.

@@musicah8496 why do you 'hate to say it'? Glorious mousepads are garbage bro

How is it on your wrist? Not too rough?

@@yasutrash nope

@@yourasianchum3659 Thx for the reply bro One more question. What mouse pad were you coming from? I'm currently using a 12$ mouse pad and I'm wondering if it makes that much of a difference

@@yasutrash i came from a steelseries qck. out of the box the hien is a little rough but not enough to cause anything toobad. also out if the box it is pretty fast. but the more you use it and wash it becauses alot more controllable. and there is also 0 static friction. so yes it makes a big difference coming from a 12 dollar mouse pad

@@yourasianchum3659 Thanks for the info bro. Would you recomend Hien or Zero?

always

Odin Infinity is better than Hien...IMO, the Hien has the worst base out of any pad I've used. I had to use 2 sided tape to keep it still.

@@gttrmgc3284 no wayyyyy. Thanks for the input. I am super pumped now. Can't wait for Infinity to get here.

@@gttrmgc3284 My Hien does not move on my wood desk. Wonder what the issue could be.

Not sure but since the Infinity is the same, I got that. It's cheaper, available now and I don't have to wait for shipping from Japan. I can't believe they actually made it like the Hien. I'm so pumped.

no, very different. but the all around surface feel feels similar

If you main valorant and siege I'd suggest a zero from artisan. I feel with the increased control and stopping power it makes you more consistent in those games.

@@iJansport yeah i initially tried the zero and liked it but at 400 dpi I like the faster movement you get from the hien

@@gmil47 sounds good, maybe I'll try to lower my dpi to 400 and swap pads for a bit. Always up for something new

@@iJansport hope you dig it!

@@gmil47 Siege is the only competitive FPS that I play and I was considering buying a Zero but then I heard that Hien is more durable than Zero. So I'm thinking of buying a Hien Soft right now but I wonder if it's too fast for Siege. How do you perform with Hien? Is texture too rough for your skin? Also which mouse do you use?

What's the difference between the fx and non fx?

@Fadel Burnae hello so you mean the fx has stitch edges and the non fx has no stitch edges?

which of those pads has the most stopping power / control for you?

@@coza10 artisan zero

Completely agree! I had the aqua control plus before I got my Hien. The Hien is just a super premium aqua control plus with a little more speed and more stopping power. I just got the Hayata Otsu too! And like you, I feel like buying all the pads, as nothing compares to Artisan and I don't get the same feeling from other pads

I had a Hien...it sucked...they are overrated af.

@@gttrmgc3284 I like artisans but the fanboys gotta be delusional. The trend is just a few years old but I bet most of them don't play even remotely competitively like high elo faceit on CS etc. Sure you can play well with any mousepad or even on a raw table and Elige is using the hein FX but you can test yourself the friction, consistency, x/y axis or just watch someone checking the specs and it's a bit subpar. Most of people buying it are hyped by the trend, placebo and general feel and play games like fortnite, apex, OW, and other Valve clone games which clearly aren't as mechanically demanding as games like CS or cartoon Valorant. They want a fast glide, and f**** consistency and precision. Even cheap mousepads like the old goliathus speed or the MM200/300 are a tad faster but have way better control than the hein^^. I used to buy them at a very low price before the hype and only the most controlly ones they had (which were better imo than current ones). Haus released a video about the zero version (which I have) and even before watching I knew what he was going to say about it and I made odds and betted on it. And yup, oh boy was I right, TLDR: " Lacks control yet doesn't have a perfect glide, good quality mats but wear seems inevitable and not for him, overpriced, needs to be -20 bucks lower). But fanboys gotta fanboy, they've got sharp-tongue, if you know what I mean :==)))) :''(''''===D lmao

is that like the gp1/zero gravity?

@@TheTechne yes the surface is Artisans most comfortable and smooth pad, feels coated when it's not. X and Y no difference unlike Hien. Speed in between Zero and Hien so got lots of control (AND stopping power) still. For you I recommend New Otsu in either Soft or XSoft I think Xsoft would be even better for you. Xsoft is fine especially with light mouse nowadays unless you use like a 90g+ mouse. I'm telling you this pad is your Endgame going by your preference I seen your other pads videos too I know what you like in a pad and what you want in it

@@blade8800 now I wanna try it, lol

@@blade8800 I recently got the Hien soft and the texture is a big turn off for me. Aiming is amazing though. I was going to order a Zero soft but maybe I should get the new Hayate? I’ve heard about problems with durability, though; have you used it personally?

@@mushiim8 the durability concerns is of the old no longer made Hayate Otsu version. Artisan done a complete new pad (don't know why they call it Otsu again) with the 2020 version and so far from my own experience and many others who owned this since day one (released beginning of September) durability is way better compared to the old version. Previous one you could see wear within weeks quick. We had this for months till this day and still no wear. It looks to be as good as durability as other Artisan pads. I had the Zero it's ok but not as good as 2020 Hayate Otsu IMO. Also Zero gets dusty very fast and picks up lint like crazy a common complaint needs constant cleaning. Otsu speed is between Hien and Zero (once you break-in the pad meaning after about 2 weeks of use that's the main constant performance forever onwards) so if you want really slow like Logitech G640 then Zero is fine for you

Hype sells

I have hayate otsu soft i planning to buy hien so u r saying hayate otsu is better than hien ?

@@Lordllloflllshadow lucky for you, I recently got a Hien mid. My Otsu was getting a little muddy after a year and now prefer the faster Hien.

@@jakechuaweipeng i think your otsu was getting muddy because you got the extra soft version maybe? idk but I'm likely going for the hien or zero. glad you're enjoying it

@@mbj920 it got dirty, which I washed. After getting the Hien, I do prefer it much more now.

What boardzy has said bout this: If you buy an artisan, it will last you at least 2 years. This means you're paying this price for long term use, compare that to a xtrfy GP4 which you prob have to replace every 6-8 months. In the long run, you will be paying less for the artisan than the xtrfy. But this really depends on the person, whether you want the same consistent pad for the following years or possibly upgrade to newer pads as they come out over the following years.

Fyi, the Xtrfly performance is so very slightly affected by humidity, but if thats not an issue, go for it

@@proxtionn I get your point but i would rather buy 2 pads brand new that are decent quality and last me for a year for the price, then buy 1 and hope it lasts me as long as 2 of those that i could swap when worn out... For example i used QCK+ for over a year. Some people use them for much longer or much shorter it all depends. Because at the end of the day a pad is a pad.. and it can only last so much before it gets stuck with dirt or loses is properties.

@@AquaCS1 I get your point, everyone has their preferences, i will stick with my artisan. The only thing im curious is HOW TF DID YOUR QCK last over a year?!?!

@@proxtionn because hoyas spreadsheet doesnt tell the whole story :)

thank you so much for the info, and kind words. As for all the links I checked mobile and pc versions and all direct correctly. And thank you so much for the typo tip, how did I miss these. lol Thank you so much again!!

We did before as well

finally got my zero soft in the mail last friday. This pad paired with a gpx superlight+corepads is absolutely god-tier. I am blown away how well I performed with it this past weekend. I was expecting it to be good, but not this good.

8 months ago I know but how did you like you hein pad? I’m really thinking about it because I play games that involve a lot of tracking but I don’t know if I will like the rough texture that comes with it. I also have a light mouse. opinions?

how do you get rid of slow spots? I've washed mine multiple times but my zero still has a really bad one

The color though

What about HayteOtsu- Xsoft for r6? Would you recommend it more than Hein & Zero.

@@Sebas.504 Hayate otsu is wayyy too fast for games like siege, I have a hien soft, zero mid and hayate otsu v2 x-soft xl but even at x-soft it's still too fast for smooth micro adjustments and precise tracking, the zero is the absolute perfect mousepad for games like siege trust me, you might want to get a hien or hayate due to the hype and I agree they are insanely good for literally every other game but IMO the zero is the absolute best mousepad for siege

@@ohhkennny766 dope! Thank you. Zero-mid? Soft? or X-soft?

@@Sebas.504 I have the zero mid and it feels like the perfect version of QcK. it's fast but still has a lot of control, I'd recommend not using super glides on a zero otherwise you might as well get just a hien and use corepads since it'd be a better combo for speed + stopping power. Tiger ice + zero mid is the absolute perfect balance for me as I wanted slightly more speed over control since I'm already confident enough in my aim. TLDR: If you're a plat/dia+ player I'd recommend getting the *mid* softness. It's just overall more consistent than soft/x-soft due to the surface being perfectly aligned at all times while still retaining its spongy texture

@@ohhkennny766 I’m a champ, and I’ve always liked and used the razer gigantus v2 (large) however; I’ve bough more than eight of the same pads, because they decay rather quickly. I heard these ones last & feel super smooth so I wanna give them a try. Thanks lad!

Just get an XSoft Zero then.

then get a soft or xsoft zero or hayate otsu

after 5 months, you still recommend it?

@@parodi931 I have my Hien since 08.12.2020 and yes I reccommend it if it is the kind of mousepad that you want

yes

I just got the 2020 hati it’s really nice with a paracord and corepads

it has been out for months lol, expect restock next week, also wireless hati s coming soon

@@r_se aah, I haven't found it in stock the last couple of weeks so I figured they must've just given out a first batch to reviewers, need to keep an eye out then.

My first artisen was a hein soft xl also. I'd definitely recommend trying the zero soft xl if you play valorant/csgo/siege. I think the hien is better suited for fort and call of duty

@@iJansport i use hien as a primary csgo player

Do you own one? I’ve been considering it. I have a Hien soft, love the aiming, but the texture is way too rough for my wrist.

@@mushiim8 i ordered it. not here yet.

Yeah... I ordered the Zero and then changed the order to a Hien and wish I didn’t. Aiming with it is awesome but the abrasive feel on the arm/wrist is a big turn off. I’m gonna order a Zero or Hayate Otsu now and try and sell my Hien locally.

@@mushiim8 try playing with a hoodie or an arm sleeve. It made me like the hein a little better after that

@@iJansport I tried an arm sleeve, but I’m a wrist aimer and it didn’t really help

where did you guys order?
