Why do so many VALORANT pros use this mousepad? The Artisan Zero is considered the goat when it comes to control pads. But it’s pricey. Sitting at over $60 US - and that’s before you pay duties on it.
Assuming it’s even in stock.

How to tell someone is an ultra consumer
bro just basically admitted he bought it only because it's popular among pros

0 explanation on why its considered “the goat”
The base and the stitching are top of the line. Unrivaled by pretty much any other pad. Then the surface just comes down to preference.
@@Hermesish Does it even matter though more than durability wise?
@@MrJengaa I don’t really get your question but Artisan pads can last years of treated right compared to some lower quality cloth pads that start breaking apart after ~8 months of use.
@@MrJengaai have the 2013 nip xtrfy mouse pad, still good as new. I would guess this is similair quality stiched ends is a must atleast
artisan pads as a whole are considered the highest quality pads and are some of the most durable
Paid ad? If no, you didn't actually explain why people like them
It's because of the hype 😂
Well go to places like r/mousepadreview or look on how mutch of your favorite streamers use this pad
They wanna be lowkey with ads cause they dont wanna get called a SELLOUT

I mean, I still rock my Max Payne mouse pad from 2001

I don’t use a mouse pad
Ur goated.
@@dumbozach I claw grip my mouse
Lmao I have a max Payne 3 mousepad still and just finished the series last month
The reason behind Artisan pads is the consistency you get from it being so high quality. A 1 week artisan pad will feel the same as a year old pad when its washed.
It does start slowing down eventually. If yours feels the same after a year then you aren't playing that much.
Honestly only artisan pad I'd ever recommend to people is the hayate otsu xsoft. Everything else has either been cloned to fuck to the point where you're silly for paying $60+shipping for it or its just too generic like the zero.
@@hampustornros if this mousepad even starts to wear down then its shit quality. Never used it, but i have cheap mousepad i thinks called volcano paruma or something like that. Not even a bruise on it and ive been using it for a long time.
I can attest to this. Whenever I wash my zero, my sens always feels a little faster than usual and then settles back to normal after just a few days.
probably why people buy pricier pads in the first place. i buy these huge 2$ pads that cover my whole desk, they wear out in 4 months. i shilled out for a better mouse sized one for 17$(never heard the end of that argument) and that lasted me a year.
what about the mid version of hayate otsu?@@hampustornros
Csgo player, bought the artisan zero a year and a half ago and never looked back. Very high performance and super durable, the thing still feels brand new after washing it once in a few months.
I haven’t washed mine in legit over 6 months and still feels like the day I got it
@@Homvncvlvs that’s amazing
@@Homvncvlvs I think that’s the point of getting artisan. It costs maybe twice as much as other pads but it also lasts perhaps more than twice as long.
Bro I have a whole desk mousepad and I haven’t washed it ever after 7 years. I didn’t know I’m supposed to wash the dam thing 🤦♂️
They are so late to the party like it’s not even the best anymore😂
idk if anyones gonna see this but if u want a reason why its good its bc of its low static friction (when u start moving the mouse) with high dynamic friction (when youre already moving the mouse/coming to a stop) it makes it so its not sluggish like a rly worn down coated pad when youre trying to do smaller movements where its mainly micro adjustments but when you flick that mf come to a stop
Let me get this straight, you buy a fancy new mousepad and a new mouse just to get a setup that feels....like what you were already using? Lmao
I think he was sent by the team to test it.
Yeah this doesn't make any sense
But mouse's and mousepads do feel very different tho, like it's quite hard not to notice tbh
He meant his mouse sensitivity....
@@GlacikingTheIceColdKing artisan doesn't spend shit on advertising lmao, their website isn't even in English, anyone with an artisan pad in America bought it for themseves
Remember when Weight in Gaming mice used to be a Feature and when the most expensive Control Pad was like $20.
I have the razer mouspad cloth but a farmer near my province told me that his son uses leather and told me to get one from his shack once he completed it ( first i heard this I was like am I about to be killed or be featured on a youtube documetary) but man curiosity kills me so go to his barn like shack and he gave me a leather mousepad and man it works like magic worst part is it absorbs sweat and dead skin cells faster but i love how it rough with mouse but i countered it with glass skits and it works flawlessly whenever I come back there I'm gonna pay him to get more.
i use a 40x40 wooden board
i use my birth certificate
The GOAT mousepad for me is my varnished wood table... It's basically a skypad that doesn't get worn down
Artisan is consistent until it wears down, it doesnt wear down easily as other normal cloth pads. It doesn't get affected by humidity as well, Artisan was made from japan because japan is humid. If you cant afford a $60 mousepad just dont buy it and dont complain lol.
I just bought A Zero Mid and Hein Soft for only 87 USD. There's a bit of a sale considering Yen isn't as high atm. I haven't received them yet but I'm sure I'll enjoy them once I get a chance to test them out!
My setup is crazy, I have a Switch that only charges at a certain angle and both of my controllers have stick drift
Just get the aqua control+, way cheaper similar feel
For me the Hayate Otsu feels really smooth
Most important factor is comfort. How comfortable is the fabric against skin for long sessions. This is where artisan shines I swear
Never really liked the hein as much, been using the otsu for about a year now and never looked back.
Also for people wondering why the pads from artisan are hyped as much, it's due to the high quality of the pad/s. Not the brand, if you've used the pads from them you'll know.
Anytime I try switch back to a cheaper pad I find myself hating it due to the feel of a shit cheap pad compared to a good quality pad.
I've been using the same $10 Amazon mouse pad for like 7 years. Shit still comes correct
Fax got on amazon typed “desk pad” and got the cheapest one that fit my color scheme.
Rank?
I just use my desk mat with no mouse pad and never had any problems
@@Cash_sin valorant or which game?
Damn bro a mousepad affects your skill that much? Imagine me using a mousepad instead of my exercise books e
No, it won't turn you into a better player.
@zSt.C it helps though
Honestly, yes. Sounds dumb that a piece of fabric makes you have better control over your mouse but it does.
I personally use a hard surface mousepad instead which is great for faster-paced games, making my flicks feel effortless.
I would say for Valorant, use heavier fabrics as it’s great for micro mouse movements and stopping force to land headshots better.
@@zStC1 it makes a decent difference when you are skilled enough for it to matter for consistency reasons
high quality control pads do help in stopping power, and allows one to make micro adjustments in aiming
good speed pads help with, well, speed
I think I will just stick to my wrist burner rgb mouse mat
Bought artisan four times, but i can tell none of them ever degraded in terms of quality. the only reason why i bought artisan 4 times is to try different surfaces (hien -> hayate otsu-> zero -> raiden) might get an orange zero just because its an orange zero
clarity for everyone here since he didn’t explain anything. first and foremost why did he want the mouse pad to feel the same? It’s because everyone likes a different friction and weight. so he plays valorant which is usually a slower sense. He has a better mouse bad imo and switched to check this one out it’s probably more friction with a less slick surface. Also this dosent make much sense since skates are also a very big variable and can be worn down and change the feel of the mouse pad by a lot. Now why care it’s a competitive advantage and is very good for your hand and joints. Main takeaways if you want good sim switch to a artisan don’t cheap out the difference is almost laughable at how much less friction there is you will instantly notice a difference with the amount of control you have and the effort you have to put in to moving the mouse. there’s a reason every single “kovaaks” aim trainer players only use artisan religiously it’s because it’s the best and there’s no competition. If you want a artisan think of the amount of friction you want and choose to your liking also choose your skates in match do not buy glass skates you need to replace them monthly and aren’t as good as ptfe. I probably rambled if you have any questions or concerns i’ll answer them.
Artisan mouse pads are fire will never go back to anything else
as someone who owns an artisan zero and an artisan hien, even the difference between the two of them is night and day for me, i just adore my zero
I have and always been using Steel Series mouse pads. Not because I love them, but because buying another brand/make would mean re-learning/re-adjusting my aim again and its a hassle.
Artisans are like $37 when converted to YEN but you do have to pay shipping so it's around $60 unless you buy two then it's $50 each
I would say not worth it but can also depends on your personal preference. I personally like faster pads. So i play with skypad 3.0 where there is no friction
Hmm, Saturn pro and even the normal Saturn from lethal gaming gear are better feeling imo
I'm not esports pro but I'm happy with my Hyper X mouse pads. Thick, stitched edges good price and the branding isn't obnoxious.
A little late but somebody needs to say this. The Artisan Hien and Zero come in 3 different thicknesses. Mid is the fastest and x-soft is the slowest. Artisan Hien is a control pad and Artisan Zero is a speed pad. For you Hien to be faster than your Zero is not right. Your Artisan Pads are find and your send is most likely to high on the Hien
Artisan Hien is a speed pad and Zero is a control pad. Hien should be the faster one.
my friend has one. Ive only used the mousepad with a superlight with tiger skates and my god is this mousepad insane. It feels like it is gliding over the mousepad. This is something oyu need to try yourself and see if its worth it or not. Just buy it, if you need a new mousepad. If you dont like it return it
Had a steelseries qck old one, switched to a zero. Only problem is the stitched edge is rough and won't allow your forearm to slide without discomfort. Back to my ancient steelseries.
I've use this mousepad and i still don't know what's so special abt it, QCK is just the one for me
Same
I got a pink one cause pink is a dope color
I need a mouse pad that i dont need to clean every month
Try a glass mousepad if it dose get dirty all u gotta do is wipe it with a cloth or sum
I didn't even know there was that much of a difference between mouse pads. I remember about a year ago I wasn't even using a mouse pad, though I am now thankfully
All silver players say the same bro don't worry, as you get better you start to worry about things that mess up your consistency
@@LagartoChicloso Man I'm not even silver. Sitting at iron 2 rn after losing 7 games in a row from bronze 1. Mind you I've top fragged almost every one of my games
real explanation: there's a reason they name themselves artisan, the mousepad is high quality and made to last, wether or not that's worth the higher price is up to you
i have an quite heavy mouse, and a quite fast pad, works insane
They won't tell you that even the extra soft Zero is still FASTER than a QCK Heavy (most well known control pad) and it will require you to get used to it, but man once you get used to a Zero it's insanely nice, and the high quality is apparent. Ultimately I would get the Zero or any artisan if you live in a humid area, bc it really helps with absorption
Well 60 is a really conservative statement, 80 is pretty Allright but some pay 120€ for it or even more
I have been using a 3$ mouse pad for the past 3yrs and I'm currently Diamond 2 in valo, the only problem is I gotta clean it almost every week because it absorbs sweat really fast
Just put your best shots and say the mouse is the reason and those kids will start buying without the 2nd thought...
Just like use a Saturn Pro cuz I heard it has more availability compared to the artisan zero which comes from Japan.
And I’m here running the 35 gram finalmouse ultralight x with a sky pad 3.0 with 432 eDPI in valorant
The real reason is because it doesn’t get folds or creases while you store it in a backpack
Bois if you want a bang for your buck mousepad, I suggest use an illustration board. On god it feels just right
I have a Steelseries qck plus hyper beast edition for more than 5 years and it's still feels like new after get washed
Artisan Hein Soft is the way to go!
The zero is a hybrid pad but has the most control of the artisan pads, try a qck heavy and you see what i mean
This artisan pad is fuckin $200 in my area with taxes and all🥺
I wish I could get this for around $100
What area? Saturn PRO is as good/better and is probably easier to get. (Maxgaming has it)
@@hamzahamid2543 Saturn PRO isnt even available here.
What’s ya twitter I got a zero soft $50 for you hate this pad
Def not a control pad this just a medium speed pad
@@KillWija Where do u live?
Which part of the world
@@ChillieGaming In the US
maybe try a glass pad😂, i use the razor atlas with deathadder v3 pro, excellent performance, and importantly, very ez to clean
Steelseries qck heavy still the best mouspad
I kinda need a hefty mouse to be more accurate like lighter mouse just doesn’t do it for me
For anyone who actually cares to hear y the artisan 0 is so popular among pros here is y:
It is made by artisan, a well known and respected brand that has solid quality across their mousepads.
It has a really good amount of control while not feeling muddy, making it optimal for games like val and cs.
It is a mousepad accessible to everyone and pretty well known. So despite there being better mousepads for the same thing, they often times r only known and purchased by a small group of people. The way mousepads become popular is from these people spreading it to pros and then the wider community. (So pretty much a mousepad nerd tells a pro, that pro tells another, etc)
accessible to everyone ? Bro it's 100 euros on amazon rn
@@alzahelb6053 Accessible as in everyone knows where to buy it. Also it's $17 for a small and $35 for an XL on their website. (though they are currently on Japanese holiday until May 8th so you cannot purchase at the moment
I tried all the artisans… ended up with the aquacontrol (purple waves colour one)
Everyone that recommends artisan pad says this one is the best but doesn’t say which one is soft xsoft mid etf
paid $20 on my dechanic mouse pad. had it for 3 years and love it.
Gameplay footage didnt match handcam footage. Why have it in that layout if you arent gonna use matching footage?
I got the hyate otsu and it’s so nice
It’s true, I bought the Hayate Otsu (Mid) couple months ago because I kept hearing popular streamers, Pro players and even YT creators talk about Artisan being a great mousepad. I came from the GSR so I had relatively high expectations. The mousepad has special weaving that I could clearly see, has a sticky-ish bottom so the Pad doesn’t move easily. I did have to lower my sens from .265 to .245 and it did take getting used to the control for about 1 week and to actually break in the pad about 2 weeks. But since then I’ve been loving the mouse and actually prefer it over the GSR and any other pads I’ve used. Only complaint is it does tend to get dirtier quicker than the rest maybe a month use time before washing it~
i still prefer the aqua control 2
Meanwhile me playing without a mousepad😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂 HE SAID DUTY 😂😂😂😂😂
get glass skates and glorious ice, less expensive and better than this
Me who uses the free mousepad from my laptop 5years ago.
Ultra consumer go brrr
"This mousepad, the zero" -shows hayate otsu
ill take my qck+ / gsr anyday 😂
Please. Steelseries qck heavy all the way
This guy knows
mad catz glide still the goat
Qck heavy is the best mousepad
i bought this mouse pad few years back its great
Do these types of mousepad siginificantly help you or not
If your mousepad is clean it doesnt matter what type you have. But from my experience Artisans just give you better consistency not raise skill. They last extremely long and feel the same as out of the box when its washed
i find that they enable my mechanics to improve as i put less thought into them due to the great consistency, skypad is similar in the vein of consistency but definitely not the kind of pad you want for val
Isnt the LGG Saturn very similar and cheaper?
From what I heard the Saturn is actually slower than a zero. I never used a zero because of the price but I do have a standard lgg Saturn that I've had for a year and it is a really good mousepad
Artisan: Expensive (60-90$)
LGG Saturn: 30$ (around the price of a viper mini one of the best budget gaming mice out there)
Tell me you don’t take showers without telling me you don’t take showers
The mousepad looks cools but i prefer big mouse like Logitech g502
rocking my amazonbasic mousemat cuz whenever i think about the price-performance ratio, i feel soo at ease lol
It's $60 with taxes, not excluding taxes lol
Base from your explanation, it's just like every other pad then.
best mousepad on the market for sure
G640 top tier
bro started talking about mouse comparisons and his own sens out of the blue LMAO
i think i might get the zero next i tried the hien but its too fast for my liking
bro these comments😂 if you're a mouse enthusiast you know why the artisan zero is the best control pad on the market. so many companies just copy their specs like lethal gaming gear with their Saturn and Jupiter lines. if you care about aiming in tac fps, just buy one already
Nah, my 100x50cm saturn is alright. Or even the piece of cloth stretched to the desk.
Even the desk without mouse pad is great.
Dont let these ppl sway you into buying premium products that purpose is nothing but aesthetic and a little better comfort.
The explanation on this short is basically "Pros like to use it, so it must be great and plus my placebo is kicking in, so it is really the GOAT of mousepads."
a piece of cloth or a desk without mouse pad is 100% worse than a mousepad
You liking the LGG Saturn? Got it because I'm a value gamer, low sens and I play a variety of games
What the difference between a control pad and a normal pad
The funny thing is i dont even have or own a mouse pad🗿
those noscopes are clean asf
My 20$ XL mousepad depressed now thanks a lot man 😔😔😔
It’s really not that controlled tho. If this were several years ago I’d say it was kinda fast but I guess it’s medium now. A control pad to me is a QCK heavy or G-SR, or -SE.
zowie gsr goated I need nothing else
@@rashadvsyou preach brother, g-sr only mousepad i use
what kind of mousepad should i get for rainbow six siege
What do you mean by control pad as opposed to mouse pad?
Whats the point of a ultralight mouse if the mat resistance adds drag weight on it anyway?
My Jojo Corsair deskmat costs about the same. It's double the price of the same original Corsair deskmat lol, rip
Me and my book on Myth & Magic feel highly disrespected.
GLASS MOUSEPAD BEST
Me who uses it on the desk without mousepad
Yea the hayate ostu is better than the zero which is a hairy mess after like a month
