SteelSeries QCK vs ARTISAN FX ZERO Battle! The Legend vs The Newcomer! 

dude your lighting is crazy in every video and the quality is amazing like always!

I feel like I'm watching a documentary from National Geography. Your so good at making videos! Keep it up! Ps. Happy Easter!

videos are always so well made like the intro transition into the mouse pads being showcased was so sick

Love your vids BT! Keep up the good work!

I got my QCK "L" back in the days when it was still called QCK+ (almost 10 years ago). It cost me 12€ back then and I still use it to this day. I clean it on a regular basis with warm/hot water, soap and a kitchen sponge (soft side). Then dry it on our normal heater / radiator (takes less than 2 hours in the winter, when heating is on). I consider myself a low to mid sens player (~1200 eDPI / ~40cm per 360°) and have played thousands and thousands of hours on that thing.

Habe my QCK Mini for over 15 years still super fine I have no problems with it

Love the content bt

Can u review the Nedis glass pad? Keep up the good work :)

Really interesting video. I am an "old" QCK user who still uses a QCK + and I always choose it over other mousepads because I don't find them comfortable for me, usually I don't like stitched edges but this Artisan looks very interesting... unfortunately it's hard to find, on the official web site it's often sold out and online it is hard to find it at a decent price. Great review!

Great video as always, was hoping to see a comparison between these two pads

Great comparison mate. Your advice on the longevity and money spend over time makes total. GJ as always. Also i laughed at 2:36 when you died from a Widow shot. You made that pikachu meme face. 😂

Nice vid keep up the good work 👍

love the short and simple videos

Brandon Taylor. Yo man just subbed and love the content and sweet editing. Keep up the great work and looking forward to more reviews!

another great review!!

You could list cons of Zero as well. At least my Soft collects hair that gets stuck in the weave and it doesn't come off even after using lint roller or soft sponge. It takes about couple weeks until you start seeing these hairs stuck in the weave that don't come off unless you just taking them out one by one.. and nobody got time for that.

I currently have the soft version of the Zero, and looking to get the mid to see how different it is. I love the current one, it's honestly close to perfection for me. At this point I am just trying different things to see what I will settle on.

Thank you for all the help! I wound up with an fx zero xsoft large, a Logitech g305 and a ducky one 2 mini

Hey BT! Seems you are a little bit tired, get some rest and some refreshment bud. Great video as always by the way.

Love the Vids

Let’s gooo new video

Great video Brandon!

Instead of throwing away the qck you could always wash it. It’s really durable and I’ve been using it for years and it’s still good as new as long as you wash it with soap water after it gets dirty.

another great video.

You know you could get the qck with stitched edges, and I had my qck for a year or so and it still feels the same -Also if anyone wants a slicker/smoother qck Spray you pad with furniture polish like pledge or behold and it will make it feel so smooth.

awesome vid man :)

i have the heavy qck for 2 years now and i just wash it when it gets dirty works fine

Steelseies now offer the Qck Edge which has a stitched edge. 450x400x2mm for $14.99 its also washable. So for those who don't want to spend $40.00 on a mouse pad. it's worthy of a look. Also Glorious has nice pads as well.

I have the qck for 3 mounts and it's very good mouse pad I don't think about replacing it for the next year's but very good video. YOU ARE THE MAN OF THE PEPOLE

I got a qck heavy xxl for like 20 bucks at Best buy because they messed up the price tag but ither way it's a good purchase so far haven't needed to replace it and I've had it for a month

Is this zero a mid, soft or xsoft? I dont know what to choose for mij zero. I want it to be the closest to a glorious clothpad.

So you'd recommend the Qck for speed or just get an Artisan FX Zero Mid?

Hey man, love your content, for how long do you think the artisan fx zero is going to last without affecting the glide?

Great video I would also like to see a review for the cooler master mp510

Hawsome video BT 👌

Loved the review 👌🏻I am currently using the G402 and seems like the Artisan would be perfect for it ! Keep up the great work BT! 🙌

Hey, bro Great video again, I was just wondering what where you got your keyboard cable from. (the coiled one) because it looks amazing. Another banger video great job.

I bought a qck like 2 weeks ago I love it

You should do a review on the amp500 or the G.L.I.D.E 38, since you seem to be fan of speed pads I think you're gonna like them.

What about the qck edge that comes with a stitched edge?

2:34 wash your mousepads: soak in hot water in your sink 5-10 min, scrub with dish soap. let dry. I've done this easily 4-7 times with my QCK Heavy and it looks brand new. I prefer my amp500 now though

2:30 why don't you just wash it and use methods to clean it????

What do you think is slower and have a strong stopping power QCK Heavy or that Artisan Fx Zero?

both look great but anti fray is a must now

Artisan is good but I love huge mousepads that are extended

Sorry the troubleIs, is it the xsoft, soft or mid? I'm looking for the one most similar to the qck. I also saw that there is no red version of that model @Brandon Taylor

My favourite is still the hyperx L mousepad

I liked the QcK but honestly I’ve been using the fury S and it’s amazing

4k videos, good reviews

Qck lasted me a few years and in my search for a new mouse pad, I couldnt justify spending over twice the amount of a qck. Qck is currently on sale and snagged it for 15$ Canadian. While many other mouse pads run at least 60$ Canadian.

Just about to buy a new mouse pad this was a life saver

This helped alot, thanks :-D

hey man! I love you setup and I was wondering what lights/lamps you have under your monitors much love💕💕

Wait but Brandon what about the stitched up qck that steelsereries made wouldn't that be equivalent to an artisan mousepad?

u fr need more subs

Hey just wondering what mousepad would be better and why (Qck Heavy Med size-6mm Thickness) or (Qck Prism Cloth Med size-4mm Thickness), I was originally looking at the Qck Heavy Large with its 6mm thickness and would have looked at larger however those have 4mm thickness anyways I'm basically going for the Qck Heavy Med now but the Prism has got that nice stitched edge and RGB but it is 4mm thickness vs the 6mm so I dunno whats better. I should probably add im going to be using a brand new Logitech pro Wireless mouse and I like to play games like World of Tanks, Borderlands, Halo to name a few or primarily FPS' RPGs, RTS' And my playstyle in FPS' usually has a preference for sniping although thats not to say I dont like using Rapd fire weapons. But also how much of a difference does 2mm vs 4mm vs 6mm make in terms of pad thickness anyways? Someone named Boardzy mentioned said this though "Do not get a qck. If you can't get an artisan zero go with an aqua control plus from xraypad. Strongly recommend the zero for you though" so now im wondering if i should go for the Qck Heavy/Prism or something else like the Artisan.

So is the qck the new version to the qck+ and all that’s different is the logo right?

1:12 Excuse me? I've had my QCK for well over a decade and it has absolutely zero fraying or bubbling or anything like that. It does not have stitched edges either.

You didn't mention if you got the Artisan xsoft, soft or med which makes a difference in the speed.

how does the artisan zero compare to the mp510? is the mp510 slower?

I have QCK heavy and it wears out fast just about over 1 year lol. Nice budget mousepad but nowaday we have so many higher quality mousepads. Too bad want to try Artisan but the Artisan distributor in my country have gone away lol.

I was 7 seconds in and I already hit the like button.

can i say that the qck doesn't really wear down it just gets dirty and you can wash it and it goes back to like new...

BT could you do a comparison between GSR and Glorious mouse pad. BTW amazing video.

Which one do you use. Mid or Soft version.

My qck has random holes and it feels AWFULL

Just an fyi. There is now a stitched edge model of the qck

I never got a qck. Started with a glorious.

i have been using the qck for almost 7 years, i've tried a ton of mousepads but i always go back to the qck it's just perfect for me

My qck went to crap after 4 weeks of use, and I wasn’t even meticulous or picky back then haha

Had to sub to this man this quality is clean

Nice vid, is the quality of the scabbard good after time or is it wearing away?

hey Brandon may i know what is the hardness of this artisan zero that u review? :D

You can wash mousepads btw (not in a washing machine of course)

Can you do a qck vs g640?

nice video!

Brooooo the qck is a control paddd ????? Helppp 😭

Steelseries qck xxl vs rog scabbard???

You should review the hyperx fury S pro L

I like the qck because of the track record of the legend

I recently got the FX Zero Mid XL and love the surface. The feedback is very consistent, perfect for tracking. It is a little small for 34cm/360 in my opinion but it's viable. I wanted to ask you Brandon, how do you get the pad to stick? For me even water and heat can't produce a good non-slip grip...

Being a low sense player my Qck Heavy has 7 years and still endures. No problems with the edges no scratchiness no bubbles and it's even slower now which is great. So my Qck is saving me money, if i bought an artisan i would be losing money for sure.

I got the Qck Prism and trying to figure out wich one of the Atisan to compare it to. ( softness, controle/speed ) does anyone know? and if i'm loooking for abit more controle wich one would u recommend

Wish steelseries made a 3xl qck. Switched to corsair for their mm500 because steelseries offers no 3xl options

Awesome video BT when is the giveaway happening?

The legend himself.

Yo Brandon, when is the other artisan mousepad coming. You know the raiden etc...

Maybe he should've compared the QCK EDGE with this ARTISAN FX.

Can you review the Cooler master m510 extended mouse pad? It’s rocket jump ninjas favorite and I have it. It’s not that smooth and I am unsure about it, wanna see what you think.

qck mousepad or glorious stich cloth mousepad ?

Nice video but I don't think you can say that the Artisan will last longer than a QcK if you've only just got it? Maybe I'm mistaken but it appears to be your first Zero pad. Thanks for the video otherwise! Great.

I thought it was comparable to the QCK Heavy... damn. I ordered the wrong one then :(

Got the qck it feels great but is already got some little stains from dust and sweat I think (6months old)

How is the shidenkai holding up?

you seem to know exactly what i am interested in

great video brandon!

$40 for a mousepad is way too much for me. I would want it, but I'd rather spend $10 for a QCK Heavy. Have a 4.7kd on Apex, and it's pretty consistent for me. The Artisan does look better, imo, especially the pink one.

Could you review the last on the artisan lineup; The Raiden FX. After all that would you rank all the artisans mousepads (pros, cons, similarities, etc.) Thanks and love the video as always :)

At least they’re not the overly huge mousepad types

Are mouse mats for just your mouse like the one in the video better or large mouse mats that fit your mouse and keyboard better?
