Artisan Hien (Black/XL) [FX-Hi-SF-XL-B] FX Soft (Japan Import)

Product Information

The stitching is very good but there were a few gaps in the stitching on my model, but it looks fantastic with wine red the colour is super deep and good looking. Alternatively, if you are on a tighter budget you can try the Odin Infinity XL which I would consider Hien’s little brother. Artisan’s reputation is well known in producing some of the best mousepads for gaming, the Hien is no exception to this. Digital Video Interface was developed to replace VGA as a standard as we were moving away from analog to digital.

The underside of the pad does a good job maintaining a strong grip on my wooden desk and white ikea desk equally as well. Among these Artisan mouse pads, the Hien is one of, if not the most popular and highly regarded mousepad. He's been reviewing gaming peripherals for almost a decade and has reviewed hundreds of mice, keyboards, controllers and other gaming peripherals. All I can say is that there is no edge stitching better than what Artisan has on their mousepads – period.Analytics and statistics These cookies are used to gather information about the user experience on our site. Coming from a Logitech/Steelseries Limbo this pad is a whole other class, the poron base is amazing, the stitched edges aren't raised and the glide is perfect paired with corepadz! The hybrid surface also means the pad is durable and unlike regular cloth mousepads like the QCK or the G640, it will not lose its glide in 2-3 months.

Because the mousepad literally sticks to the table I CANNOT move it unless I lift it off completely and place it once again the way I want it.

Artisan does a lot of things correctly when it comes to their mousepads, and packaging is part of that. This is a top tier mouse pad with not much to complain about other than if you find the textured surface irritating.
