If you want a mousepad that is fast but also adds some control, get the Raiden. Flick-friendly mousepad where the fast pace won’t lose stability. Is it knitted with thin threads which gives a silkier and lighter glide than other mouse pads.
Artisan mousepads have 3 different levels of firmness when it comes to each model. They are Mid, Soft, and Extra Soft. These 3 give different feelings when using the mousepad. Some things to consider with this is firmness & speed + stopping power. For example, Xsoft has more cushion which gives more control and stopping power. The mid-mousepad is thinner and harder which improves speed.
All Artisan mousepads last longer if you take care of them.
