@@Heisennburgg @Blade I have had the Hien and Zero Soft, and for me this is better than both of them. It doesn't have the XY diff or the rough texture of the Hien, it's more smooth, like the Zero but has a distinctly more velvety feel. It has speed and not as much resistance to small movement as the Zero, but you don't lose stopping power. It's kind of the best of everything Artisan has to offer, if I were to recommend paying full price and shipping for any pad of there's it's this one.
@@watsyurdeal I would be interested what kind of Hien / Hayate (new model) y’all have chosen. Mid / Soft or xSoft. I bought both of them in Mid L, speed excellent and stability, the stopping average. Do you think the soft is the better option?
I had Artisan Hayate (original one, back when they started out) and it was the fastest cloth pad I've ever seen, very close to plastic Steelpad S&S, but way more comfortable. Unfortunately it was not stitched and my sweaty forearm absolutely destroyed upper layer in several years :D Fortunately my forearm doesn't sweat any more. Currently I'm using MP511 (should be similar to Hien but using rougher cordura material) and just ordered FX Ninja Hayate Otsu XL xSoft. 89.99$ swoosh! Also Corepads are on the way for G Pro X Superlight. Good to be a grown up and working :DD
@@XSFlanger how does the new hayate compares to the CM MP511? I'm currently on a MP511 with a GPX, always wondered if the MP511 is like a "cordura clone" of the hayate otsu since it should be slightly slower than a hien, I find the MP511 a little fast, low initial friction but with pretty decent stopping power, thank you!
@@Confluxi it does sink, but you'd have to be pretty heavy handed to have an actual issue. TBH I've since moved to a soft and I think that's a better foam density. But, xsoft is very manageable provided you don't lean into your forearm.
Hi! I am planning on purchasing and have a few questions :) 1) is it true that the soft version feels like the mid on older artisan pads? 2) is the texture comfortable on the skin? 3) have you tried the artisan zero? If so, what are the main differences? Thanks you
@@rhn1168 1) I don't know but soft is very good 2) Yes it is as smooth as silk, i wear a sleeve regardless now tho 3) I have used the hien before the hayate otsu, can say it feels basically like a hien and a zero had a baby, microadjustments are slower than hien on hayate otsu, but fast macromovements are faster than hien
I have one, after 2 to 3 months it wears away a lot. This makes the pad glide waaaayyyyy less. Other than that, it is a very, very good pad that is good for tracking.
@@anthonyglatz9062From my experience, the pad will last for around half a year without slowing down too much, but I heard the newer version stays consistent for a bit longer.
Dont know if you´re still reading this, but i qot a question. Do you also have problems with the rubber base not having to best grip on the Table? thx in advance.
Maybe I missed it in the video, but around what speed is this pad? The Hien? (In terms of the other artisans.) Also while im here, what do you think the best fk clone is? Other than that, good vid board
I just got the hayate otsu, MID hardness, and it feels very similar to the steelseries dex (ancient pad, i know), with the hayate otsu being slightly more slippery but with the exact same stopping power as the dex, maybe slightly less due to the increased initial speed. Both pads are still slower overall when compared to the hien however (with a smaller gap in speed between hien and hayate otsu), but the hien also has less stopping power than either of them. I still prefer using the dex though just because of its tanky durability and ease of washing.. still waiting for it to die so i can completely switch to a newer pad lmao
I used to love the Hayate Otsu but the glide would be gone within 6 months at best. After buying 2, I couldnt justify it any longer. I wonder what the longevity of this pad will be.
Boardzy, how much faster is the otsu than the hien? What about shidenkai vs raiden? I want something in between Artisan shidenkai xsoft and hayate otsu soft
I saw this new Hayate Otsu couple weeks ago when wanting to purchase a Artisan Mousepad. Lol I should have bought this one instead of Hien soft but okey next year I might buy this new Otsu version.
Boardzy, should I buy the logitech superlight or the np01, I can't choose between the two and I know you can't really judge an unreleased mouse but which one do you think I should buy?
Yikes, then that's a no... I have pads like QCK+ and MPC1200 and weirdly enough the latter instantly sticks to my arm (but not my mouse - almost frictionless always) if I get sweaty even the slightest, while the damn QCK doesn't have that issue unless I like use it directly after washing it without letting it dry. So arm-sticking is a no-no as I hate wearing sleeves.
I was thinking about getting an Artisan mousepad when they come back in stock. Is the Zero soft comfortable too? Or should I go with the hayate otsu soft.
@@NivramTTV The zero is definitely faster than all the other control pads ive used. In comparison to a g640 I feel like I have more consistency in my flicks. My tracking also has gotten smoother. The hayate otsu is noticeably faster and had a slightly rougher feeling on my skin when I was tracking. It's not like really rough though. I stuck with the zero soft all the way.
Can you review the elemental glorious mouse pads, mostly the ice one, and can you review the wireless glorious mouse, I heard the elemental glorious mouse pad ice 🧊 is really good
On the official website nothing about V2. They fixed durability or what? Consider to order XL Soft but I’m in doubt because of durability. And where did you order this mousepad?
@@Gogrichiani I got it off eBay. I think if you get it off the official artisan site you'll get the V2. When I tried it wasn't in stock. If you get one off eBay just make sure the seller has good feedback and ask them to give you the item number. The V2 has a B at the end. Mine is FX-HYO-XS-XL-B I also paid more than retail at about $90/free shipping. Some people on there are selling them for ridiculous prices so just keep looking everyday and eventually you'll see some in the $80 or $90 range for XL sizes.
I've had my Hayate Otsu for about 2 years now and I think it has lost A LOT of performance. My G502x with PTFE feet does not slide across this thing like the mouse in this video. I don't remember it being like this when I first bought it. Big sad.
I'm glad you think corepads are the best I ordered some thinking they were hyperglides, didn't realized I fucked up until I got them in the mail today.
![Diggy Graves - Red Vineyard [Official Lyric Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/8Ro085T0mnQ/mqdefault.jpg)
I went from Hien to Otsu. I like the feel of the Otsu a LOT more than the feel of the Hien. It's super smooth and consistent. The Hien felt rough.
which hien did u have? I have a soft hien but its so rough that my forearm hairs get stuck and it hurts if i dont use a long sleeve shirt
just when you thought you had all the artisans you needed. here we go again i gues!
Always loved the Hayate Otsu, in my opinion the best mousepad ever. Just really hope the durability is fixed. (like everyone else lol)
I just saw when this was commented I thought v2 was released around this time apparently not
Maybe what they mean by "less turbulance" is that it's not as rough to the touch and doesn't transfer as much feedback to the mouse during glide.
This is now my main pad, it's like a softer version of the Hien, with none of the XY differences or other issues I had.
You had Hien Soft before? This actually replaced Hien for you?
@@blade8800 curious on this as well, cuz if thats the case i'm gonna be ordering one when they're in stock.

Was the original one you used also xsoft?
@@dope5684 No it was mid, but still had thin layer of foam underneath.
I have xsoft of this pad and it's very smooth and comfortable. It's right in between the hien and zero for speed and control.
is the rumor of the mouse sinking in with pressure and giving resistance for the xsoft true?
@@Confluxi it does sink, but you'd have to be pretty heavy handed to have an actual issue. TBH I've since moved to a soft and I think that's a better foam density. But, xsoft is very manageable provided you don't lean into your forearm.

Would you recommend me this one over the Hian?? Don’t consider the price gap.
Can't wait to see if this also wears out in ~2-3 months
Is the speed in the Hayate Otsu inbetween a Zero and a Hien? I got both a Hien and a Zero and i love both of them. But would love something inbetween
You should make an updated mouse/mousepad tier list video, would be a good watch.
Is this a good fortnite pad (soft and with gpx) I play mid sens 8.8 800 dpi

yo whats good boardzy
yo boarzy is this ur main now or is hien still goated for u?
which one do you prefer more? soft, xsoft, or mid?
I love artisan, its just the price
you got the Glorious model o wirelless already? Waiting for that review
should i get this or the zero mouse pad?
Would you recommend this pad or a hien/zero? I use a QCK edge rn and I want something faster but also with control.

Higher static friction than all the other artisan pads ime. Still way lower than standard cloth pads
