It is suitable specifically for control in motion, and the mousepad is much faster than zero in speed. I recommend this with the Hien or any variant of the Hayate. As what you lose in stopping power can be compensated for with either of those surfaces. Keep in mind though, I have noticed the Mid variants tend to need a little spray of water to keep them from sliding. Any Hayate mousepad felt less textured and smoother and more pleasant to the touch than Hien mousepad.

The Artisan Hien comes in small mediu, large and extra large, here are the corresponding dimensions. S Hard bedding substrate does not have any mousepad now, but they seem to resemble those of Zowie G-CM, G-TF mousepads. via vistacreate There is compatibility with the surface of the desk where the mouse pad is placed, so it may fail two or three times. However, cheap investment as it can be used for several years if matches can be obtained.

At the same time, the artisan mousepad has excellent stopping power, and in couple with the xsoft substrate, very good control is felt. Has bumps on sides of the pad, collects dust really easily, does not lay flat after months of use. Less stiff version of MP510 fabric.

The pad comes with three softness levels, XSOFT being the slowest, SOFT is the midrange and MID with the fastest overall speed.I didn’t notice any significant difference on the pad comparing X and Y axis, all good on that front. The mousepad is perfectly consistent across all areas, just be sure to keep it clean. The fact is that the japanese mouse pad fabric is stiffer than an ordinary mousepad has, and therefore there is no such strong friction.
