Question/Advice Mousepad Recs

Upvotes

Hello,

I’m looking to buy a new Artisan pad. I’m between the Zero and Type 99 right now. I mainly play Val, but occasionally play other shooters. I would love to get both but I’m not rich unfortunately. Which one would be best for me?

Question/Advice Best skates to feel texture on a mousepad? (No dot skates)

Upvotes

I have an artisan Hien and I love the rough texture. It gives me some sort of feedback and I aim the absolute best on this mousepad. Ive tried every artisan pad and my performance is the best on the Hien. What are some full sized skates that would help me feel the texture a little bit more?

I've had this pad since the original release, and moisture built up between the glass and the vinyl, and it catastrophically started peeling.

Fluff Most stunning glass mousepad I’ve ever seen.

As a glass main glass has hit a wall where we have every option is available. We have textured from slow to fast, uncoated to coated.

Really it comes down to art style. Some work great with colour and pop like the Hoshino while others like Tekkusai make decent surfaces but the art is £5 AliExpress.

This is the first glass pad I’ve seen that really pops with depth and gets a 10/10 for design from me.

Please more of this rather than 2D anime designs or warriors.

Question/Advice Artisan Zero Soft XL, looking for a gaming sleeve.

1 Upvotes

Hello, I've been using the NRV Dark Sakura for the artisan Zero soft since here it's so hot and my forearm gets kind of humid, it kinda works well for me but maybe I'm not aware of how bad or good it is because I never tried any other gaming sleeve, it is made of poliester and I'm wondering if you all tried both poliester and also Nylon gaming sleeves.

The current one doesn't really get sticky to the pad or anything, it's not the best glide but not unusuable, I usually play faceit on CS2.

Please any point of view will be highly appreciated.

Thank you!

Question/Advice Next mousepad advice?

2 Upvotes

Hi. to begin I play CS2, PUBG etc. I had many mousepads but always keeps returning to QCK+

(If it helps my in game CS2 sens is 1.3, 800 dpi)

Mousepads I've tested:

  • Steelseries QCK+ (Really enjoying it, the best for me but quality build is kinda not good)
  • Razer Gigantus V2 (textured, also a bit faster than QCK+)
  • X-Raypad Aqua Control 2 Sakura Night (too textured for me, too fast)
  • ATTACK SHARK CM02 (also textured, faster than QCK+)
  • ATK Knight Zodiac Horse Black (the smoothest mousepad I've ever had but it's faster than QCK+)

So as you see I really enjoy my 7 y/o QCK+, what I can get 1:1 or closer to this mousepad but better quality build (mine is kinda destroyed on bottom)

Question/Advice Qck Heavy Magenta

1 Upvotes

Good day, Ive been using performance speed for a while now, now Ive found out that my seller has new (or not new idk) heavy magenta and white and black, all brand new and recently released, or so I was told.

Anyone tried any of them? How are they compared to the original?

Question/Advice What's the closest thing to a QcK Heavy from the "quality" brands?

4 Upvotes

I've been using a QcK Heavy for years and I really like how it feels — the start of a movement is smooth, there's barely any resistance when I initiate a flick, and it still has enough control for me.

I wanted to move up to something with better build quality and consistency, so I bought an Artisan Zero. Honestly, I found it horrible. The static friction is way too high for me — every movement starts with a noticeable "stick" that I have to break through, and it made my aim measurably worse. Not what I expected at all.

So, what pad from the brands people consider high quality (Artisan, LGG, Pulsar, etc.) is closest to a QcK Heavy? I'm not looking for a glassy speed pad either — I just want that low initial friction with a bit of control, but with better consistency and durability than the SteelSeries.

I play CS2 mainly.

Question/Advice Small mousepad for shaking hands?

2 Upvotes

Hello!

I have been researching for over a week and have yet to find something that would work for me, so I am here asking for help!

I am disabled, and cannot sit at a desk. I have a hard time controlling my hands from shaking slightly when I try to move my mouse in anything other than sweeping movements. Moving the mouse slowly across the screen leads to lots of jittering movements from the cursor. This causes me to become nauseous when playing any first or third person game, even Skyrim and Dragon Age games are unplayable because of how jittery the camera is when I try to look around. It's not full on large tremors, but very small and consistent shaking.

I think a soft and slow pad would be best, but the only ones I can find recommended for shaking hands (like the Artisan Type 99 and Zowie GSR 2) are far too large to fit on my bed. I need something A1 notebook size or smaller.

I'm really losing my mind, I just want to be able to play my favorite games comfortably, and the regular texture of small mousepads doesn't help the jittering at all.

Thank you for any help, and apologies if there is an obvious answer I'm not seeing!

I was at the dentist the other day and saw someone using a cutting mat that covers the whole desk as a mouse pad as well.

Can I use a cutting like the picture as a desk/mouse pad for gaming?

A1 is probably too big right? (I'm not at my main setup right now)

switching from a glasspad to artisan zero soft xl, currently using clustrs speed dots and they dont feel amazing on the artisan. while i want to get stock skates (viper v3 pro) again, in the event that i go back to glass (bc i like to switch around alot) would peeling off the stock and then going back to dot be bad for the stock in the long run, is there any other skates i should look into that wont be damaged if i decide to switch between the 2 pads?

Question/Advice Need help choosing a glass pad after trying the Superglide V3 Type-S

2 Upvotes

Tried the Superglide V3 Type-S glass pad recently and absolutely loved it. It pretty much convinced me that I want to switch to glass.

The only reasons I didn't just buy the Superglide are that I've heard the coating can wear off over time, I am not someone that can buy something without considering all possibilities, and honestly I'm just not a huge fan of the aesthetics.

If you've used the Superglide and another glass mousepad, I'd love to hear how they compare. I always see people describe pads as "fast," "slow," or "control," but those terms don't really mean much to me. It'd be super helpful if you could compare them relative to the Superglide V3 Type-S, since that's my only point of reference.

The ones I'm most interested in are:

Pulsar ProSeries Mei

Miu Gear 1337

Last Stand V2

Yuki Aim Monokuro

WALLHACK SP-004 and SP-005

(annoyed I missed the Ascension Sora drop that one is sick)

I'm mainly an Overwatch player, but I also play Valorant, so if there are any other genuinely great glass pads I should look at, I'd love to hear those recommendations too.

Question/Advice Artisan Key83 Mid vs Soft (All Around Mousepad)

Post image
13 Upvotes

Hey all I currently have the Glorious Gaming Mouse Pad GMP 2 and I hate it. It is so muddy and slow to the point I cant even be precise in games like Valorant. So as such I am looking for the typical faster but controlled mousepad. I have landed on the Artisan Key83.

My issue is I can't decide between the Mid or the Soft. I feel like the soft will be the better all around mousepad for all games. I play League, Fortnite and Val mainly. But I have 2 concerns about the soft.

  1. I worry that the speed increase wont be enough what i'm looking for from the GMP 2
  2. When I am precise aiming I medium press in and when I panic I push in pretty hard and I worry that the soft will cause the mouse to slow down too much like it does on the GMP 2

I hear the Mid is great and people love it but I worry it will be TOO quick for games where I need precise clicks like League or Valorant.

I currently have the ICE Tiger v2 Skates on my Superstrike btw

If anyone who owns these pads has any insights to my use case that would be amazing!

(also the Mid is $20 cheaper where I live)

Thanks for your time!
