Title: Best Artisan Mousepad for Razer Deathadder/Abyssus?
Post by: inSeason on Mon, 20 August 2012, 02:12:43

I've been looking all over the net and I cannot find the information I'm looking for. Which Artisan Mousepad is best for the Razer Deathadder/Abyssus?

I have a Hayate M Soft and it is starting to ware. I'm currently looking to replace it with another Artisan pad.

A good replacement is probably the Hayabusa. (http://www.amazon.com/HAYABUSA-XSOFT-Bright-SAMURAI-gaming/dp/B007JX2HNE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1345474671&sr=8-2&keywords=hayabusa+mousepad)

Is that comparable to the SHIDEN-KAI XSOFT (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005KMQUIY/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00)??

The Hayabusa is like a slight upgrade to the Hayate and feels about the same. Shiden-Kai has a slick glass coating. Both are very good but the Hayabusa is probably a safer bet if you prefer the feel of the Hayate.

I do prefer pure cloth pads. Thanks for the advice. The Hayabusa seems to be a softer version of the Hayate which I think is best. I do not like the feel of hard mats.

Raiden just came out and it doesn't have the directional change with vertical movement vs horizontal movement.  So in short, if you want:

Faster than Hayate =>  Raiden

Slower than Hayate => Hayabusa

It's either the Hayabusa, or Hien. How is that hayate? How does it feel compare to a SS mousepad?
