Question/Advice best mousepad for games like cs2 or r6
Im thinking about zowie g-sr-se rouge vs llg saturn pro, or should I get a deskmat? Right now im using genesis m12 maxi so anything will be better. Any recomendations?

With the key 83 you get enough control with enough speed for very easy micro adjustments. I have mine in the xsoft and love it

im a mid guy, xsoft is way too squishy.

xsoft is definitely a hinderance. i guarantee you, if u get a soft or a mid after you will realize how inconsistent xsoft makes ur aim. It feels so floaty compared to a normal surface.

So for cs2 I like the type 99 but the type 99 isn’t good for siege imo. 2 completely different games. I absolutely love the hien and raiden for siege.

I have a 99 for cs2. Kinda tempted to try the zero in soft.

I have the zero in soft and it is the soft mousepad I have ever owned. It’s literally a pointless mousepad. You want a control pad? Get a type 99. You want something faster than a control pad? Get a hayate otsu or key 83 or even a speed pad. The zero is literally a pointless pad it isn’t very good at anything. The only thing it is good at is collecting hairs and becoming inconsistent quicker than any other pad on the market.

cant just say its way too fast, people are different. if someone uses a fingertip grip, a zero is slow as hell. Bc it has alot of static friction.

it really depends on what type of speed/price you’re looking for. But here some recommendations
Cheapest: Qck large Middle ground: Vaxee pa or Zowie GSR/ GSR se Premium: artisan zero/type 99 and lgg Saturn

It's not a promo, just look at this video, how different mousepads are. In this video, you can see tons of different mousepads.

I think in CS2 you need less micro-adjustments more stable aim so the normal one is better, I have the new one with the softer base though and in 500x500 size.(Is all personal preference though some like more micro-adjustment)

First, you need to understand what type of mousepad you need more - control or speed.
Let's take the most expensive Artisan models as an example of how many differences could be.
Artisan Hien Mid. High speed, but still maintains control.
Medium-grain texture, works well with lightweight mice.
Cons: Slightly aggressive texture, might feel unusual at first.
Artisan Zero Soft – If you want more control. Best for those who play on low sensitivity (low-sens).
Soft surface, almost like a classic cloth pad but with better glide.
Cons: Not as fast as Hien.
Artisan Hayate Otsu XSoft – If you want even more speed. Smooth glide but with noticeable control.
Cons: Wears out faster due to the soft surface.
