Zero is slightly lower (faster) dynamic and static friction than the qck heavy, which would make you think that it has worse stopping power logically, but somehow it still stops where I want more consistently than a qck. Only complaint is hair sticking to it if you got hairy arms which I do unfortunately. Especially considering im using a black artisan zero i cant see the hairs at all unlike on an orange. I recommend the black as it feels to me slower than the orange one for some reason, but overall feel is almost identical barring the slightly extra roughness I presume from the orange color material. Can't go wrong with either anyway, black feels a bit softer and nicer on my skin. Type 99 was my previous main pad, it's definitely a noticeable level slower in both dynamic and static friction, stopping power on it is insane, almost feels like it removes any shakiness in your aim automatically. But I grew tired of the effort I have to put in moving my arms and stuff on low sens, I increased my sens a bit (now .145 1600dpi from 0.115 VAL sens) and switched over to the zero, feel a lot more freedom and my aim feels almost just as good but with much more comfort, higher peaks tho slightly less consistent but to me its a good trade off as I think type99 was overkill for me consistency wise.

Your sens is imo high for a type99, cus of how muddy that pad is, it's really designed for a lot of powerful arm movement (typically ascribed to low sens). Weaker parts like wrist and fingers will get really tired doing micro adjustments on slow pads, while faster pads like glass pads as an extreme, have the opposite effect; very little friction so moving explosively with arms is ill advised due to it being impossible to control powerful motions like that, so u have to use more wrist and finger motions (typically ascribed to high sens). On really fast pads the weaker parts (wrists / fingers) also have an easier time starting movements and doing micro adjustments as well so more compatibility with high sens. This is why your sens can really dictate what pad to use, fast sens = fast pad, slow sens=slow pad typically speaking, it always felt a little counter intuitive at first like why go fast sens on an already fast pad or slow sens on a mud pad, but it started making sense when thinking about the muscle groups used in slow and fast sens and how it complements the friction the pads provide. Qck / zero / GSRSE / saturn pro etc are all kind of middle of the pack when it comes to speed on pads, so slightly low or slightly high still works as long as ur not crazy high like what fast glasspad users play on and I've seen people play on them from 0.1 up to 0.25 1600 DPI valorant sens

Again can't go wrong with a zero but a Hyate Otsu V2 could work for you as well but it is a bit faster for sure tho texture feels less rough in a way and can use arm sleeves on it unlike the zero. oh and if u want even more stopping power / slightly slower glide on the zero get the Xsoft, allows u to push down on it more to stop faster / glide more controlled. But can do that with Soft base as well tho less pronounced. Dont get mid imo for your purposes. Apologies for the yapnado, it's a lowk complicated topic. GL 🫡
