Great review.. Every other reviewer gets so caught up in assigning tac shooters to the zero and everything else to the hien but the hien by far provides sufficient stopping power and the control needed to those already able to aim well. Nice job bro

Thanks man! The superglides feel really great on both pads, on the hien they’re a bit scratchy which can add some nice resistance if you’re into that. on the zero they’re super smooth. The superglides on the GPX is smooth on both pads.

Hien maintains wear beautifully as well.

Hi ! I recently bought an artisan hayate xsoft And I'm having difficulties using it with my gprosuperlight , the problem is that out of nowhere my game starts to run infinitely even with the mouse stopped, would you know anything? Thank you and beautiful video!

I just ordered my Zero! Thank you for helping me decide! Going to love the improvement from the G640 that becomes absolute garbage after the coating wears off. My scores for tracking in aimlab went from usually 100k to barely 80k bc it's super muddy now and I can't change directions to strafing targets without fighting the pad, making my aim shakey with the struggle lol. Also, you have a nice voice. Good for reviews

@@dremmett1270 Oh it's great. I got the soft XL and I honestly have no complaints other than it's good to have a lint roller around. I also got a Hien. Love it too and it's my main bc I like the texture more, but the Zero is great for all games and I can transition between the two easily. Can't believe I bothered with the G640 for so long lol. I know there's cheaper alternatives that are close to just as good, but I have the money and wanted the best, so no regrets with the Zero.

2 pads together is $125 for me here in america. I mention 2 cause shipping is the same price, it makes one pad a lot cheaper really, even though its still premium price. I think artisan is amazing if you enjoy testing multiple pads, given the better value is with 2 of them.

I am a crazy FPS player and just got m'y Hien soft. I was afraid of not getting enough stopping power but it work great and for m'y low sens (53cm 360) the speed helps. Had some crazy headshots since.

Yeah I used to main the shidenkai xsoft and I actually loved it, but I tried the hien xsoft and it felt like the glide is so inconsistent i can't get used to it. I actually play better on my old QCk than on the hein xsoft.

i’ve been debating myself because i have a Hien but i am way more consistent on low sens and the mousepad is not too big so i kinda counter myself, when i go a bit higher i notice my hand is too shaky, might try something like the Zero then

i bought a hien soft becouse the hayate otsu was 15 dollars more, i love it, great for every game i play (i am master complete on kovaaks tho) so i dont struggle playing cs 2 with this hien, i can microadjust better

a lot of people said that the Artisan 0 is a combination of glide and stop power .

as some one with less than a full year experience on MnK i was struggling with which of the 2 to go with as some one who plays mostly cs and r6 where precision is key after your video ive decided on the zero xl soft, thank you for helping a noob

Thanks a lot for the review, its exactly what ive been looking for. I mostly play Tac FPS (Valorant) and was wondering if I should buy a Hien and use it instead of a Zero. My problem with the Zero is that my hand gets stuck to the pad whenever its warm outside and by stuck I mean litterally glued. I use a sleeve, a really good one even and that provides sufficient glide for my arm at least, though at one point when I dont move my arm a whole lot my sleeve gets warm too and kinda sticks to the pad (not nearly as much as my uncovered wrist though). I felt it really fks up my aim whenever its 23°C+ (73.4°F). As someone who is a Voltaic Master I feel like my aim is good enough to control the Hien in Tac FPS and it was good to hear someone who says that its definitely usable for that, so thanks for not just sticking with the "Zero for Tac FPS, but not the Hien" narrative. I guess I'll be buying a Hien and I really, really hope that it will help me achieve a more consistent feel / glide, even when its warm. Lovely review👌🏻👍🏻 (btw. the problem with my hand sticking to the pad is so bad that I cant use a high sens from about April-October because when playing with a higher sens I move my arm less causing my arm & hand to stick to the pad so bad that my aim becomes insanely unreliable, that was even worse with previous pads like the GSR and it was the only reason I spent 70€ on a Zero in the first place, cause I was told multiple times that I wont have this problem with it, which turned out was wrong unfortunately xD)

Appreciate it man, I definitely feel your pain with the zero and your arm feeling glued to the pad when its warm outside I've had that same issue. So far I can definitely say I've not experience any of those same issues with the Hien, does take a couple days to break in like most pads but you should be good! The Hien will definitely be great for Valorant or CS the stopping power with flicks and consistent glide really make it a great pad for those games, not sure why people only ever recommend the zero for tac shooters.

would you say that anyone or atleast most people could get used to the speed of the hien? if so, would it be worth over the zero? i've seen the hoya mousepad sheet, and the hien is classified as a really durable mousepad, more than the zero. so my question is: worth taking the risk of the speed of the hien over some extra durability? would i be able to adjust and benefit?

tbh the Hien is not as fast as some people make it seem. Its really more of a hybrid pad then it is a speed pad. So yeah I think 100% you'll easily be able to adjust to it UNLESS you really like mud pads then the Hien may seem too quick coming from something like that. I would personally take the Hien over the Zero, i feel like the Hien is more consistent and its not effected by heat at all. The Zero can start to feel a bit sluggish when your arm sweats

The strider is not a bad alternative, the main reason to go with a Hien for double the costs (60ish) is because the quality of the pad is better like the stitching, the base and arrives flat and stays that way, the strider is hit or miss on whether it will be flat, the stitching is mid, the base is subjective depending on your desk and the strider is basically a Hien Mid not a soft or xsoft so you would need to already want more of hard density if you go with the strider
