There are also 3 hardness levels to the sponge: extra soft, soft, and mid. The hardness of the sponge can change the speed and stopping power of each with mid being the fastest and extra soft having the best control. On the bottom, Artisan uses a unique rubber design that feels less texturized than other pads. On my walnut countertop, the Zero has some troubles staying in one spot and moves from side to side a little. This does lead to some readjustments mid-game but overall didn’t impact gameplay. The Zero is a polyester cloth pad aimed at those who like a balance between speed and control. Being a good balance, many say that the Zero soft is the safest option to choose from the Artisan lineup. The surface of the Zero feels smooth and has very consistent stitching.

FX Zero soft tuntuu erilaiselta kuin muut hiirimatot heti, kun poistat sen pakkauksesta. Pohjapuoli on erittäin mukava ja varmistaa, että hiirimatto pysyy paikallaan, missä sen asetat. Yläpuoli on erittäin hieno pinta ja hiiren palaute tuntuu erittäin hyvältä. Reunat on ommeltu erittäin hyvin ilman mahdollisuutta hieroa ihoa. Kaiken kaikkiaan erittäin mukava hiirimatto täydellisesti FPS-peleihin tai Homeofficeen, joka kestää kauemmin kuin pelkkä kangashiirimatto ja antaa sinulle laadukkaan tunteen.

For example, the Orange Zero is said to be a little faster on both x and y axis (side to side and up and down). I felt the Zowie P-CMs glide was slower, though the smaller base makes it seem like you can force a swipe faster without feeling lagged. Of course there seems to be mixed opinion with the CM series. So take that as you want~I'll be personally moving on to hard surface in a few months. I feel as if i'll get my desired friction feel moving towards textured plastic.

Hiro/Megasoma 2 have this weird midish control, but fast feeling. Feels really nice, but I'm not used to this in FPS oriented gaming. Heavy performance hit with IR LED based illumination. If you want something slow you could try the Allsop Raindrop XL, I can't really think of any other slow control oriented pads. Durability: The Zero is allegedly slightly less durable than the Hien and some other artisan pads, I bought this pad used from r/MouseMarket from someone who said they had used it for less than a day. So far the pad seems fine, no issues with the durability at this point. It’s been reported that the colors of the pad can create differences in the speed and control. These inconsistencies rub buyers the wrong way as this is supposed to be a premium pad and that something like color shouldn’t show such changes. It may be due to the surface having a more matte finish as this has zero issues on a glossy or textured surface.Overall this pad amazing. I would really recommend it to anyone that wants to get into Artisan Pads but they are not sure if they would like the texturing of the Hien. I think this is the Artisan pad that would cater most to the masses that use just regular old cloth mousepads, in my opinion if you are moving from a cloth pad to an artisan this is the safest option. Classic Artisan pads don’t have a stitched edge while FX Artisan’s do. In all cases, I’d recommend spending the extra money for the FX version to prevent any potential fraying on the mouse pad. The stitching on Artisan pads is excellent and I never really feel them anyway. Conclusion The only real con about this pad is that dust and hair get into the weave really easily, but this can be taken care of with a lint roller. Doesn't affect performance unless you simply just never clean the pad.
