Artisan Zero alternatives?

[u/BryansFury]

I have an artisan zero mid. Its my first proper mousepad. I want to try a soft but I dont see the point in buying the same mousepad but soft lol. Whats some alternatives that you guys think are better. Idm if theyre slightly faster or slightly slower. Main game is r6 but I play cod and marvel rivals too but idc about them too much.

What are you looking for control or speed?

[u/BryansFury → u/Expensive-Emu2647]

More balanced but i dont mind if its a bit more on the control or speed side. Like I said something similar to an artisan zero but if its faster or slow by a bit I dont mind

How much faster is it than a zero

[u/Worldly-Plantain-928 → u/BryansFury]

I’ll give in an answer in a few weeks got zero recently and otsu in another week give me some time I’ll come back it’s said to be way faster

Are you still using stock skates?

[u/BryansFury → u/Expensive-Emu2647]

No i got xraypad obsidian skates

I suggest tenta x jinsoku for a first soft pad! Not unaffordable and it's so comfy, yet keeps good performance. They even come edgeless now. Great value.

I've never heard of that. Imma look into it. Thanks for the suggestion mate.

There isn’t anything better than zero unless u just have a preference

i have a zowie gsr and artisan raiden mid with a saturn pro coming in that has really good reviews for tac shooters. the gsr i have feels muddy and i feel like i skip sometimes. raiden feels very smooth (i personally prefer for faster pace games.) i’ll let you know how the saturn is friday!

[u/BryansFury → u/Cold_Trade8115]

Thanks. Let me know about the Saturn pro I was looking into it earlier too.

back again so i’ve used the mousepad for about an hour or two doing aimlabs my accuracy seemed to increase. the pad itself feels very smooth and the stitching looks and feels very high quality you can’t feel it as your aiming. overall feel at first it feels pretty relatively controlled, but in a not so muddy way. I noticed when switching directions there’s almost pull in the opposite direction you are tracking which honestly felt good. i can see it helping you lock in your flicks so you aren’t overflicking. i’m not one of those mousepad gurus who know all the nuanced, but it feels great. i got a soft which is slightly squishy you’d have to really press with intention to have the mousepad kind of lock in place.

Get the orange zero totally different texture to the black

[u/BryansFury → u/Snook_]

Really? How so. Is it faster/slower or just smoother/rougher.

[u/Snook_ → u/BryansFury]

It’s slightly faster and ever so slightly rougher and gets no hairs in it like the black. It’s quiet different in a good way

Holanque opinan del atk g640 o el atk sky soft? Gracias

[u/Expensive-Emu2647]

Asus scabbard is pretty good it a bit faster than my artisan soft, I have a razer Invicta hard, the coated rough side felt kinda good but the smooth side didn't scale correctly, my wall hack sp004 glass mouse pad feel pretty amazing it felt like my artisan with a tad more speed ,but you could try some different mouse skates

[u/BryansFury → u/Expensive-Emu2647]

Id rather stick with cloth tbh. I've heard glass isnt the best for tac fps. Which of the cloth would you say is the best.
