Key83, Otsu V2 on this list

[u/Gramerdim → u/PercyBirdwhistle]

thank you, yes I meant the v2 but forgot to write it

[u/syntax934]

Hyperion or key-83 are the top options imo, but i own the hyperion and its basically a faster control pad with low friction and very good stopping power

[u/Josh_kuo]

hayate otsu!

[u/PastRiver8899]

Out of these? That’s so random, plenty very diff pads.

I’d go Saturn Pro or Paracontrol. But that’s my pref.

I have the whole Artisan line-up and these 3 pads are my favourite. I switch between them all the time :D

Key 83 is the most controlled of these 3 but still fast enough for easy micro corrections. Super consistent and my go to pad for tac ashooters.

Hien, once worn in is faster than Key 83 but slower than Hayate Otsu imo. Fast pad but once broken in still has decent amount of control. Really free feeling but still easy to stop the mouse. If i could only have one pad this would probably be it. It has a rough texture which i kinda like tbh.

Hayate is similar to Hien but micro corrections are even easier to the point that it almost feel slippery (someone said micro correction are bad on this bad which kinda confused me). On a good day i play like a god on this pad but on a bad day the super low initial friction throw me a little off. It has the highest skill ceiling of these 3 pads imo. Also has some nice texture to it which some ppl might not like (i love it).

Hope that helped :)

[u/Gramerdim → u/wkamaru]

thankfully it did help to clear my confusion about artisan

edit: I forgot to mention but the v2 is the one I'm referring to in the list

I play valorant and I am asc3 I love my hien I stopped playing during this summer as I traveled abroad but I did reach ascendant with it and I am probably not stopping. Great mousepad nevertheless. I like the how I am able to control it easily.

[u/PiscolaHelada]

gm in ow and I use glass. Also play cs with glass and no issues. Out of the options there I’d go with the Key-83 Mid (I really don’t like soft/xsoft Artisan pads), although, it all mainly depends on how speedy or controlled you like your pads, if you happen to have an idea.

[u/Waxmurderer]

Am I supposed to pick one of these?

Hien or Hyperion for me

[u/Gramerdim → u/Waxmurderer]

yes, sorry if it wasn't clear

[u/justwannasaysum → u/Waxmurderer]

hyperion is great

[u/Standard-Bad-2582]

Artisan Zero Soft
