## Description

The FX series solves the hard edge and sticky feel that was a disadvantage of the CLASSIC series by the lock processing. The NINJA FX series that makes it easy to use has increased by 200%. The weaving density is less than the surface of HAYATE. Compared with HAYATE, it slightly strengthened the sense of concavity and convexity, and elevated the stopping property more than HAYATE. Like HAYATE, it is made of fabric with excellent total balance. Stable mouse movement with fast initial movement and parallel movement feeling like HAYATE. And it's easier to stop than HAYATE. Sports equipment to win in shooting. [Total Performance] HAYATE OTSU prioritizes ease of stopping. High-end products with similar performance to HAYATE. [Ease to stop] It's a slight slip but you can stop it. [Touch Feeling] The touch of the surface provides a satin feeling. [Small vertical and horizontal sliding difference] Compared with HIEN, the differences in longitudinal and lateral sliding feeling are small. Surface: A special woven fabric optimized for the mouse pad. (polyester). Middle layer: Unique foam foam with special structure. Excellent flatness. Resistant to curl is strong. Natural rubber is not included. Sole: Perfect performance of preventing slipping by the suction cup structure. ARTISAN is a high performance mouse pad made in Japan called "isolated mouse pad". ARTISAN mouse pads are used in more than 60 countries around the world. Feature 1: 7 types of rolling surface. Feature 2: Edge lock seam. Feature 3: Three kinds of hardness. Feature 4: The strongest non-slip sole in the world.

Review: First Artisan pad and still feels new years later - Great mousepad. This was my first Artisan pad, and I bought it after hearing how durable they are and how well they hold their surface over time. That reputation ended up being completely true for me. My only “complaint” is sizing. I really thought the Large would be bigger, but it is honestly pretty small. If you are used to XL pads, this will feel limiting fast, especially for low sens. That said, the smaller size ended up being a nice surprise for a different use case. I now use this as my productivity/desk pad because the footprint makes more sense in that setup, and it actually looks cleaner than an XL in that scenario. Durability has been excellent. I have had it since 2022 and it still feels brand new. The texture has not worn down, the stitched edges are still perfect, and the base still grips well. I wash it occasionally and clean it regularly with a damp towel, and it has held up extremely well. I also tried the Hayate Otsu, and I agree with what I wrote in my other review: the Otsu is not a direct “upgrade” to the Hien. They are different pads for different preferences and playstyles (same idea with the Zero having its own fanbase). Going forward, I will probably buy a larger size for gaming because I am a low-sensitivity player. I aim with my whole arm and use my wrist for micro-adjustments. I did not start that way (I used to be more of a wrist aimer), but over years of gaming this style has given me more control. Because of that, larger mousepads are a must for me in many games.
Review: I think a tad overhyped but still outstanding quality - After many many years of playing on a Qck+, I "upgraded" to a HyperX Fury S because of the size and I used it for a bout 7 months or so, before it started to wear down and I felt like I needed a new mousepad. Artisan was very hyped for its quality and performance, but since I didn't wanna wait 2-3weeks for shipping, I decided to order from here and I can tell you that the mousepads are 100% authentic!! It took 2 days to come, but you do have to pay the premium for the faster delivery time, it's up to you if you wanna pay a bit more to get it sooner. The packaging was really nice and secure, definitely no damage to the pad whatsoever and it's Winter here in Chicago. Straight out of the box, the material felt really sandpaper-ish and scratchy, but I got used to everything in about 3 days. It's not as bad as people say! Also the mousepad breaks-in in about the same, around 3 days for me. I got a Hien Soft (not XSoft, that's even softer) XL in Wine Red. A truly beautiful mousepad. It is definitely faster than any cloth mousepad out there, but it does break down and slow overtime. I do enjoy the glide (I have a GPW with Corepadz) but the drawback is that it feels way too fast sometimes, it really takes getting used to. Overshooting was a problem the first couple of days, but with adjustment to sensitivity and DPI, you'll feel right at home. The Hien has INCREDIBLE stopping power for how fast it is, honestly. I'm pretty happy with my purchase, but I do feel like I'm going to go with a Zero Soft/Xsoft, just to see what the difference is. Don't be scared of the price tag, Artisan pads hold really good value.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it come in just a flat box or is the flat box in a giant box filled with bubble wrap**
A: The Artisan flat cardboard packaging comes bubble-wrapped. Whether that's in a larger box I'm pretty sure but not 100%. Once unwrapped, the Artisan cardboard package was in perfect condition as seen in a video I posted to answer another question about the packaging.

**Q: Does the pad come flat in a package or rolled?**
A: The pad comes flat in Artisan's sturdy cardboard packaging. Artisan's square label is in the middle of the front side and is written beautifully in Japanese and English. Artisan's logo is also stamped on the front. The package is opened with a cardboard tab used to pull a ribbed line near/along one edge. I've also ordered pads directly from Artisan before, and this one is genuine.

**Q: how would I clean it?**
A: Soak in tub with lukewarm water and a little dishwater detergent. Leave for a an hour. Scrub with microfiber washcloth. Gently work edges with a soft toothbrush. Leave for another hour our two. Rinse thoroughly with cold water. Air dry on flat surface. Will be like new.

**Q: Is it real or knockoff?**
A: It is real

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great mouse pad
*by G***U on April 9, 2026*

This is a great mouse pad and it’s super high quality. The design is minimalistic which I love and the sizing is perfect. It has an adhesive that sticks to your desk which was something I found fascinating and the mouse pad itself feels smooth.
