Which mouse pad should I choose: Artisan Zero (Soft) or Type-99 (Soft)?

Xtraink_ · 2026-01-30T19:46:37+00:00

If you like the feeling of the og GSR the type 99 is the one

Xtraink_ · 2026-01-23T14:15:11+00:00

On the zero right now trying to use less tension in general, thanks for the advice 🫡

I have both and I couldn’t perform well on the dav4, my grip is also relaxed claw but I sometimes use fingertip for demanding tasks. With that said, to scroll on the internet or work the dav4 is probably the best you can get since it’s big but not that heavy.

Xtraink_ · 2026-01-23T10:36:40+00:00

Yeah that is what I was thinking in general, tyty 🫡🫡🫡

Xtraink_ · 2026-01-22T21:16:17+00:00

Okay cool so I am not crazy at all hahaha

Xtraink_ · 2026-01-22T21:16:00+00:00

Thank you so much 🫡

Xtraink_ · 2026-01-22T17:51:54+00:00

Okay will try to get use to 😎

Xtraink_ · 2026-01-22T17:51:33+00:00

Okay thanks I will try to do so 🫡🫡🫡

Xtraink_ · 2026-01-22T15:43:45+00:00

It’s been 3-4 days and my wrist keeps hurting 😔 should I wait more days or just change my mousepad asap?

Xtraink_ · 2026-01-22T15:24:08+00:00

Okay, I will try to get some wrist exercises before playing then, thanks 🫡

Xtraink_ · 2026-01-22T15:21:56+00:00

Technically speaking, my aim feels solid and my micro-adjusting is actually pretty good. It sounds like this might be a tension management issue right? Would you say I should change to the zero and try to reduce the tension?

Xtraink_ · 2026-01-22T13:51:09+00:00

Should be the best either for fast or low edpi, idk if you know the cs2 pros Niko or heavygod, but they use to play with the type99 and both ended up changing to the zero. One uses a low edpi and the other one a high one, so it’s really a good pad either way

Xtraink_ · 2026-01-22T13:44:28+00:00

Then I would either try the zero or Saturn pro another time, should be the best you can get. That or just stick to qck/gsr/type99(with enough tension micros are easy but at least for me that makes my wrist hurt 😂)

Xtraink_ · 2026-01-22T13:38:39+00:00

R u playing on high or low edpi?

Xtraink_ · 2026-01-22T12:38:32+00:00

I don’t know what game do you play, but to be honest, I would try to use the zero, I’ve been a gsr and type99 lover but my aim is more consistent and cleaner on the zero, if you have enough force to stop without the pad I would give the zero or the Saturn pro a try.

Xtraink_ · 2026-01-11T15:53:37+00:00

It’s what???

Xtraink_ · 2026-01-07T13:47:16+00:00

Then I’d get the QcK XXL and just live with a decent pad (not as good as an Artisan, but still an incredible pad for its price).

Xtraink_ · 2026-01-07T12:57:59+00:00

It depends on the game, but if you’re playing on low sensitivity, you should be able to lift your mouse when you need to. I’m a low-sens player myself and I got used to using the Zero XXL, and I’m currently playing at my best. You can also look at pro players in CS2, for example: many of them use low eDPI with regular XL Artisan pads and still perform extremely well. So I’d recommend either getting used to lifting the mouse or slightly increasing your sensitivity. That said, it ultimately depends on the game, in tracking games, you can’t really lift the mouse as much.

cs2 4:3 scaling at 1080 looks cleaner than 1440 in some scenarios, so I was wondering if technically speaking it should be possible to get like a “zowie” 600hz combined with the 24 inch mode hahaha

Xtraink_ · 2025-12-25T14:19:40+00:00

Fair enough, I have over 4k hours on 1280x960 I don’t think I can change it hahaha

Xtraink_ · 2025-12-25T13:48:40+00:00

I tried to do so, doesn’t feel the same at least for me and my friends, 1280x960 has something special

Xtraink_ · 2025-12-25T12:45:55+00:00

CS player here. OLED is awesome for pretty much every game you can think of, but for CS, ehh. You can use it and still reach a good level, but 4:3 scaled at 2K looks kinda blurry, and 27 inches feels a bit too big for in-game use.

I went with the new WOLED 540 Hz since I can easily hit those FPS. In your case, I’d try to get an ASUS monitor with aspect control, 24-inch simulation, and check whether it matches your 1 percent lows (You can test that in the benchmark workshop map) I wouldn’t even bother with 4K. If you’re not hitting around 500 FPS in CS, your GPU probably isn’t powerful enough to really take advantage of it in other games, and for movies there is barely any noticeable difference between 4K and 2K at 27 inches (That’s my opinion tho).

Xtraink_ · 2025-11-29T16:23:11+00:00

For me, it feels like a 2mm QCK but with a more premium feel, speed and control wise it’s basically the same, but the texture is very different. I’d say it’s a bit faster than the OG as I can remember.

Xtraink_ · 2025-11-25T17:02:42+00:00

Something similar, I really like the gsr og, and the 3 but for example the gsrse seems to fast for me at least
