Artisan FX Hien SOFT Gaming Mousepad
The Artisan FX Hien SOFT is a premium balance-speed gaming mousepad for players who want fast glide, strong texture feedback and enough stopping control to stay precise during FPS gameplay. It is faster than Artisan Zero and Type-99, but more controlled and textured than ultra-smooth speed pads like Raiden.
The Hien is especially strong for players who rely on fast target switching, tracking and active mouse movement in games such as Apex Legends, Overwatch, The Finals and fast-paced FPS titles. It can also work well in Valorant and CS2 for players who dislike slow control pads and prefer a quicker, more reactive surface.
The surface has a noticeably rough texture. This is important: the texture gives clear feedback through the mouse feet, making micro-adjustments easier to feel while still allowing fast initial movement. Players who want a silky-smooth pad may prefer Raiden or Hayate Otsu, but players who want speed with grip often choose Hien.
The SOFT base adds light cushioning and comfort without removing the sharp, responsive feel that makes Hien popular. It is a strong middle option for players who want speed, texture and some stopping support without going too firm.
Choose XL for medium sensitivity or smaller desks. Choose XXL if you use low sensitivity, large arm movement or want more space for wide tracking. Black is the clean esports option, Navy Blue gives a calm premium look, and Wine Red adds a stronger enthusiast setup style.
For a complete speed-focused FPS setup, pair the Hien with an ultra-light mouse from our gaming mice and keyboard collection, or explore more mousepads and desktop accessories for your desk.
The Hien is faster and rougher than the Zero, with less stopping power but more speed and movement freedom.
The Type-99 is much slower and more control-focused, better for tactical FPS players who want heavy stopping power.
The Raiden is smoother and faster than Hien, but offers less texture feedback. Choose Hien if you want a fast pad that still gives your mouse feet something to “bite” into.
