Mousepad Selection Guide
ARTISAN mousepads change character through the combination of surface, base, and size. Use this guide to match your play style.
How to Choose
Start with the surface speed and texture, then choose a base type for stopping support or glide consistency. The same surface can feel very different with another base.
Surface Categories
Low-Speed Surfaces
Best for low sensitivity and pre-aim-heavy styles. TYPE-99 and ZERO are representative choices.
Medium-Speed Surfaces
Balanced speed with stopping power. HAYATE OTSU, KEY-83, HIEN, and HAYATE KOU sit in this range.
High-Speed Surfaces
Fast and sharp surfaces for advanced players. RAIDEN and SHIDENKAI V2 are representative choices.
