what's up guys is btw here and this is the battle between the SteelSeries qck and the artisan fx0 mousepads and i wanted to do this to kind of show you guys the differences between the QC k the legend i think every one of us will have one of these or own one of these in our lifetime versus the new kid on the block the artisan that has all these different weaves and great bill quality on the website of the artisan zero it actually says that this is the closest mousepad to the QC k but I kind of beg to differ and I'm going to go over the differences between the two today and which one you should get so there's a huge price difference here the artisan is 4,000 yen or $40 and the QC K is $20 so about half the price so is it worth it to even get the artisan at this point so the dimensions of the QC k are 450 millimeters by 400 millimeters by 2 millimeters thick the dimensions of the artisan or 490 millimeters by 420 millimeters by 4 millimeters thick so about double the thickness of the QC k low sensitivity people are going to love the XL size on the artisan it just gives you a little bit more breathing room around the edges the QC k doesn't have stitching around the edges and we all know that they start to come up after some time maybe after a year maybe after a couple weeks maybe you get some bubbles in your mousepad that's not gonna happen with the artisan this thing is stitched around the edge and it's some of the best that i've seen on any mousepad now some people don't like stitching and i know some of you guys out there don't because you've told me but i really feel like it adds to the durability of the mousepad I also like the minimal branding on the artisan 0fx as well compared to that big still series logo that we all become a cousin to that I think our brain just kind of warps it out and just sees it as being all black but that thing is huge if we really look at it the key CK has more of a standard rubber base whereas the artisan fx0 has a non-slip base and this thing it's been so so for me this is actually the best non-slip base on an artisan mousepad that I've tried it actually stays in place better than any other mousepad that I've actually tried from them so I'd say they're about the same in that regard they both stay in place very very well when talking about performance I really want to stress consistency in gaming we all want to be consistent and I noticed pros they would like switch out their SteelSeries mouse pads on a like regular basis and that's to keep consistency in their gaming they don't want a worn down mouse pad and we all know we've all had a qck where the middle gets all brown and nasty and just sweaty it's just gets all nasty it doesn't look good on your desk right you want to throw it out and then you gotta buy another one so what happens that $20 I'm gonna turn into 40 it's gonna turn into 60 it's gonna turn into 80 before you know it you're gonna be spending well over what the artists in cost and the artisan will actually last you a longer period of time so there's no denying that the qck is a really good mousepad I mean pros even use it til this day because they're so used to it it's been ingrained in the gaming culture and society for the longest time now it's just here it's not going anywhere but that doesn't mean that there are durability issues and consistency issues and for all of us that aren't sponsored we're left with buying multiple of these mouse pads because they get worn down so fast now the qck actually feels faster and it glides a little bit smoother than the 0fx the 0fx is a slow controlled surface this thing it glides it's very very nice but there's a lot of stopping power it really reminds me of a Zowie GS are the original version if you really like a control mouse pad this mouse pad is gonna be for you but over time as we know the qck really starts to deteriorate it almost like you're it's almost like you're rubbing a hole into the middle of your mousepad with your mouse and it's not a good feeling it becomes scratchy and I don't know it just doesn't feel right something to me about it just doesn't feel right and I know some of you guys out there have had that same experience overall I think you can't go wrong either way but if I had to choose it would definitely be the artisan because you're going to save more money over time spin the 40 now the 4000 yen and get the good one or else you're going to be replacing the SteelSeries over and over and over again unless you're a person that is just has to have the SteelSeries and that's been your jam for like the longest time so be it but if not let's try out the artisan fx0 and 2019 guys because i think it is worth the money in my opinion alright guys so that is gonna do it for this video don't forget to
