Thank you for the review my friend. Being among some of these great names in our first ever release is truly a dream come true. Can't wait to keep getting better and show everyone what we can do ❤️
im maining a shidenkai v2 and its perfect specially on fast paced fps games.. coming from a skypad 3.0 it felt more comfortable to play with thats why i love so much!
I really appreciate this video! As someone who uses a Glorious Elements ice mousepad with Superglide skates, its good to know there are some good options out there other then just getting a hard glass mousepad.
yup i felt the same way about the kuroson ninja, it was great for the first week and then the speed would just change. some days itd be good and some it would slow down. Weird mud spots in different areas. I cant wait for their new stuff bc man that first week I had it, experience was awesome!
im from swiss too and I have to say I will order the artisan raiden mid. cause I always killed like top 250 players on warzone with it. and without artisan. i had no chance❤. I like to use the Mid version cause it has good tracking properties and im soo fast in close range fights. really good review jakeu❤. in every review they recommend the raiden mid. maybe i will finally reach crimson rank with the raiden mid😂
dont worry, i also am waiting for my zero to be shipped and i think it will still be good even if they release a new version.. theres really nothing much to improve with recent version as reviews were giving good praise to it
I honestly can't tell you, since I seem to be one of the only people out there having this static electricity issues on the Raiden if you're from the US and the IM Speed V2 is readily available, I'd probably go for it over the Raiden
I've always used control pads like the Artisan FX Zero and Xtrfy GP-2. However, recently I've noticed that my mouse feels like it's resisting movement on these pads. So, I decided to switch to a hard pad - the Glorious Elements Mousepad Air. While it works well for my flicks and aiming, the surface feels quite scratchy, which is a bit uncomfortable. Do you have any recommendations for a pad that provides a smooth glide and speed without the scratchiness, but still offers good performance for aim-intensive games? Thanks in advance!
Wait.. you're saying the Strikepad is as fast as a glass pad? I have it and I LOVE IT. I thought it was an entry-level speed pad so I was trying to go for more speed and buy a glass pad.
@@sutrefps Sorry for the late reply. I made a rookie mistake of using a glass skate on it, and the Strikepad has fiberglass coating. So I pretty much broke it and it's now really slow sadly.
how would you describe 4114 firmness? I would expect something like infinite speed v2 mid (i have it), so quite firm, but actually has some plush (I don't like it, I want firm). Is it similar?
I personally am a big fan of modding keyboards, you can make most keyboards out there sound and feel so much better, but that's also quite the rabbit whole itself.
i just got a vaxoo 70g mouse and i wanted to know which mousepad of them would you recommend for it between hayate otsu mid and hayate otsu soft? (i’m currently using the saturn from lgg and had a death adder v3 before) btw i’m also swiss hehe
Does the InfintyMice Speed Pad Work with a Sleeve? I know the 4114 Aero Does Very Well. Are they Similar? Also Does The InfintyMice Control Pad work with a Sleeve? I'm thinking of ordering Both.
@@jakeufps og cs player from back before 1.6 days, i switched from controller recently back to mouse and have only used the hien for the year ive been on a mouse, bought a new hien and otsu but didnt like the otsu bc im use to the texture on the hien??? what are ur thoughts if i wanted to try a control pad like the infinitymice one, or artisan zero, or vaxee pb ??? can you provide any insight or suggestions?? like will i have a hard time adjusting? i know you prefer the control pads vs a hien or something fast, i wanna try that world for a few weeks ty
iv had the strikepad pro for a week and im fairly certain i can already feel it slowing in the centre (similar to the vancer ice), i will update the comment in another week if it gets worse, the fnatic jet is an ugly colour but its leagues better than anything else iv tried myself purely based on the fact that the material wears down more slowly than other hybrid pads
@@foreverpasttt yes, it eventually died like every other pad with this material haha, it lasted longer than the vancer ice but only by a few weeks, im now maining the fnatic jet as iv had it a year and it still performs great
@@buzzdown418 fnatic jet is the fastest pad iv used, i will correct my old comment and say that it does wear down over time it just takes longer than similar pads, if you game most days i would say you're good for about 3 weeks until the slow spots are too annoying, personally i have completely given up using hybrid surface pads and gone back to cloth pads, i have tried 4 different hybrid surface pads and all of them break down and are unusable, its a gimmick
4:48 - Exactly how i felt with Hien during the Soft/Xsoft craze. I regret getting Xsoft because it just feels so weird on stiff surface. Btw, Raiden V2? Isn't yours already a V2, i thought they upgraded it like almost a year ago now.
i dont think so...i have mpc 450 too and i thought about buying this fantech mousepad because i thought it would be faster, but i really don't think so.

My worry is the durability and how long that pad can stay consistent

hard agree, hope we'll get a similar but much more consistent experience with their new pads 🙏
Banger video! Speed pads go zoom zoom
omg just searching abt speed pads and you upload like one hour
love the thumbnail
my pad photos have now showed up in both boardzy and jakeu's videos. I have peaked in life 😤😤
Might have to rethink on that one, I didn't use anything that wasn't mine on this video 🗿

Should I wait for the Raiden v2?

Wait are artisan actually doing revisions of every pad? I legit just bought a zero and raiden today 😭
the changes are insanely minimal, just super niche little fixes mostly for their cloth pads
dont worry, i also am waiting for my zero to be shipped and i think it will still be good even if they release a new version.. theres really nothing much to improve with recent version as reviews were giving good praise to it
Yup! Another #jakeuclassic 😮
Has Artisan explained how they'll be improving their pads this year?
Here are some of the changes, can't find them all rn: twitter.com/uNleashed_jp/status/1752900551594107311
Would you recommend infinity mice speed v2 over raiden right now?

Great review! I still think the Hien is the goat of speed pads
isnt the raiden the speed pad?
Hien is not a speed pad its slow af i own it
Im coming from a Gamesense Rush don't really know what speed pad i wanna go for
Glass pad
What is your most favorite mouse skate?
the conventional Corepad skates
@@jakeufps not the x-raypad jades?
if you really want speed get the glorious elements air mousepad and get some glass skates. Trust me THAT is speed.
have you tried the padsmith crucible xl?
feel like its missing in this list, otherwise very solid vid
jakeu how can i stop buying new mouse, mousepad and keyboards a lot. like I get a new keyboard and want a new one a week after, any tips?
I personally am a big fan of modding keyboards, you can make most keyboards out there sound and feel so much better, but that's also quite the rabbit whole itself.
you should try the lgg neptune
on the way already o7

Can i use glass skates on strikepad?

Just got my Raiden Mid, I think I am now part of the mid gang 😭
Whats best Artisan Speed pad i need speed and hard pad not soft because the mouse always sinks in i guess mid is okay
is hayate more controlled then hien??
I'd say similar, but much less textured. I haven't had a HIEN in ages, but from my memory, I'd say that the OTSU is a tad slower in general.

Which version of the infinity mice speed do you use? Soft or mid?
MID
Can you tell me pls What is best mouse skates for v2 shikens mousepad from artisan because i dont know
for the mid one, probably obsidian dots, but I'm fine with my corepads
how fast is the fantech stripad compared to endgame gear mpc450? does it have any humidity issues?
Do you know if there will be a newer version of shidenkai v2? Dunno if i should buy it now. I wanna avoid Sora 4k and V2 accident lol
Are there is another pad have a similar glide and surface like the StrikePad and the JetPad from FNATIC ?
What are those mice some1 pls tell me
iv had the strikepad pro for a week and im fairly certain i can already feel it slowing in the centre (similar to the vancer ice), i will update the comment in another week if it gets worse, the fnatic jet is an ugly colour but its leagues better than anything else iv tried myself purely based on the fact that the material wears down more slowly than other hybrid pads
damn, that's interesting, definitely let me know if that gets any worse

@@letmefall2190 alright, thank u
Mpc 450?
I just can't bro my strider die after 6 months 😢
Aero can't seem to restock either lmao
Artisan Raiden? Raiden is much better than the otsu imo
