The best cloth pad I've ever tried

Artisan Key-83

As a long term user of cloth pads, starting from the QCK-Heavy for OW1, CSGO - I found myself loving the feeling of control, but I always had an issue with my arm and wrist sticking to the pad a little too much. This got me intrigued about the quality of Artisan's pads. I tried the Zero for a long time while I played Valorant, and that pad is GOATED. Its in my top 3 for sure. But.... again I felt like I was sticking. Let me get to the chase here. The Key-83 feels perfect; because not only does my arm / wrist not stick to the pad, but the x/y difference being equal brings what I look for in every single product I buy for myself: Balance. Nothing feels hard to do on this pad. I will say, If I could give it a 4.95, I would. Due to my lack of mouse control on fast surfaces, I do find it can be a tiny bit fast, but I'm getting very used to it. I do wish they made the Key-83 in a slightly slower speed, just SLIGHTLY. I tried xsoft and was not a fan. Soft is my favorite on this one. Thanks for listening to my first review, stay tuned for more updates. If you made it this far, you owe me all the money in your bank account.
