I suddenly woke up in the middle of the night today after a nightmare. This nightmare entailed a situation where I could not find artisan mousepad alternatives for under $30 or less. To my delighted surprise, you have made a video contradicting this nightmare. I have to say that the immense dedication put into these videos truly makes this video both entertaining and informative. All thanks to you I now have alternative options for artisan mousepads. Also, where am I able to buy the Shrek mousepad shown at 0:16? Asking for a friend.

Every Good Enough Tech Review video that comes out, I have to look over the fact that he is british. They blew a 13 colony lead and eat their stupid beans on toast. This video however, is good. It's weird how ThatKid and I can have the same nightmare. I too was looking for a Best Artisan MousePad alternative for under $30 or less! but couldnt find any. But that's when I saw it, a tweet from none other than Gary himself. Thank you for your service Gary, as none of us were brave to stand up to boardzy.

As someone who used a AC+ before switching to a hien, I couldn't notice a difference other than the base being better and the foam being thicker on the Hien, compared to the AC+ being such a cheap pad it's definetly a great option for the Hien alternative.
@GoodEnoughTechReviews Жыл бұрын
Yeah, the artisan options are usually better for the most part, but only very slightly and for some people, finding $55+ to drop on a pad isn't easy with everything else getting more expensive too 😬

Just bought the ikea pad yesterday and I'm honestly impressed. I used to have one of those shit xxl pads and in comparison it feels like mud, it was atrocious to track in aimlabs with it and damn, I wonder how I was able to play Overwatch with that stuff before I genuinely don't understand how people can call it a « control » pad, it's much faster than I thought. So now, I just wonder what a hien would feel like ... still waiting for reviews on the aqua control pro neon in order to make a definite choice on it or a hien (isn't available right now sadly ...), I wonder how much it'll be different. This ikea pad is crazy

The Vaxee PA Black is the QcK Heavy 2.0 that I've always been looking for. The static to dynamic friction is absolutely perfect, coming from the Radar where it was inverted. I have to say this is ridiculous for the price you are paying. I am glad they discontinued the PB and gave us this! Now if only it would come with stitched edges!!! The Ikea pad is great as well if you want something even faster.
@GoodEnoughTechReviews Жыл бұрын
PA black is a goated control surface tbh, I think of it as the IKEA pad "pro" being a slightly softer base and larger footprint. I don't mind no stitching personally as it wont irritate my delicate forearm then 😬

@@GoodEnoughTechReviews I agree, it's a damn good pad. I definitely see it as a higher quality IKEA pad no doubt about it.

I never had any artisan mousepad before but ikea lanesplare it's really good pad to be honest but i prefer low static friction and high dynamic friction, my exprience ikea pad it's high static and low dynamic for me. I had little bit hard when micro adjust when moving my crosshair to the head and need control too because when i flick it's kinda over aim but need easy switching target. Before i had ikea pad it was razer strider, but i don't really like when play fps game like csgo or valorant when long range it's like tiny head, when aiming headshot level it's uncontrolled for me , but it's easy switching target when close or medium range, i don't have problem with heavy tracking game like apex. Oh i forget about the base two mousepad i mention before, really great for me it's not slippery at all on the gaming desk. I think i will consider lgg pad between satrun or venus and still don't know take which one.
