ARTISAN HIEN (Wine Red/XL) [FX-HI-MD-XL-R] FX MID (Japan Import)

Product Information

Artisan Hien is the 2nd most popular mousepad. Well-constructed mousepad. Has a little bit of rough texture. If you’re not sure about more speed or more control, we would suggest the Hien. It will be your endgame mousepad. The glide is also not influenced by humidity or perspiration. Plug'n'play kind of mousepad. I think this is the perfect mousepad for gamers that want to get out of the muddy control mouse pad world, but don’t want to go all the way to glass level speed. Consistency The Artisan Hien comes in small mediu, large and extra large, here are the corresponding dimensions. S

The Raiden pad is the speed demon of the family. This pad is even faster Hien’s mid-speed. For the folks that really want that glass-pad experience. Classic vs FX

Limit phrases even further

The underside of the pad does a good job maintaining a strong grip on my wooden desk and white ikea desk equally as well.

Classic Artisan pads don’t have a stitched edge while FX Artisan’s do. I recommend spending the extra money for the FX version to prevent any potential fraying on the mouse pad. The stitching on Artisan pads is excellent and do a great job of staying out of the way. Conclusion I found the Soft Hien plenty fast, but not insanely fast like the SkyPad 3.0 for example. There was still plenty of stopping power to play tactile shooters like CS:GO and Valorant. I didn’t notice any significant difference on the pad comparing X and Y axis, all good on that front. The mousepad is perfectly consistent across all areas, just be sure to keep it clean. The Hien held up very well over the 30 hours I played with the pad. I don’t expect the Hien to degrade much over time as long as you clean it.The Zero is Artisan’s control pad offering with a lot smoother of a surface. This is the pad to get if you think the Hien might be too fast for you. Otsu The pad comes with three softness levels, XSOFT being the slowest, SOFT is the midrange and MID with the fastest overall speed. The Artisan Hien is a mouse pad to consider if you don’t know if you want to go super fast but know you don’t like control pads.
