How to Choose your ARTISAN Mousepad

Start by selecting the playing surface based on the speed and texture that you want.

Then, you'll want to narrow down which base type accordingly with your aiming style.

It's important to note that each surface has its own unique characterstics, and even with te same surface, chaning the base type can drastically alter the way the end mousepad feels and performance.

For these reasons, it's recommended that you experiment with various different combinations so that you can learn what you tend to prefer and have the best experience possible!
