Coming off the back of a poor experience with the artisan zero, I was looking for a bit of a changeup with what I wanted in a pad. The speed of the zero was great, but the texture was what made me dislike it so much - it kept ripping the hairs out of my arms, and when I used a sleeve, it would catch the sleeve very frequently, making micro adjustments very hard.
I thought I would try a balanced pad, and with the mizuworks cascade being on clearance at Ausmodshop for just $50 AUD ($70 AUD with shipping), I knew I had a steal. The glide of the pad is exceptional, but the stopping power is perfect for my flicking style. I was able to feel so much more confident in my flicks, and really propelled my flick speed and accuracy. The only thing holding it back from a 5/5 is the size - 480x420 is great, but after using a 500x500 zero, the smaller size was something that I struggled to adapt to for quite sometime.
Thank you very much to the team at Mizuworks for creating such an amazing and criminally underrated mousepad - and thank you to the Ausmodshop team for getting it to me so quickly :D
I feel this will be my main mousepad for quite some time.
