Please help me choose the right Artisan pad.....Zero, or Key 83
Hello! I'm looking to purchase my first Artisan pad, and am having trouble choosing between the Zero, and the Key 83.
TL;DR: How abrasive is the Key 83 texture? Would you say it's slightly more textured than the Zero? Is it rough on the skin? Choosing between the 83, and Zero, just don't want a heavily textured pad like the Hien, or even the Otsu.
I've never used a textured pad in my life, but I think I would like it. My only concern is how rough/abrasive the texture is on the Key 83.
From what I understand the Hien has a very rough, sandpaper like texture...so that is out of the question. I don't want a heavily textured pad, one that would potentially irritate my skin in longer sessions, or require me to wear sleeve (which I don't want to do). I then thought about the Hayate Otsu V2. Comes in red, which is one of my favorite colors, and would go great with my aesthetic, and is a hybrid pad, which I think I would like a lot. However, I've read that it still has quite an abrasive/rough surface, just not as much as the Hien.
That brings me to the Key 83. From what I understand it has a textured surface, but nothing like the Otsu, or Hien. That it's not rough on the skin, and is slightly more textured than the Zero. Is this all true? How much texture does the Key 83 have? I'm really choosing between the orange Zero, and the black 83. I feel like I would ultimately rather have the 83 due to it's hybrid characteristics, and balancing speed/control, I also like that people say it's similar to glass in the way the mouse feels. I'm just worried the texture might be too much. If the texture is there, but not rough on the skin, and not super noticeable then I will definitely get the 83. If the texture is rough on the skin, and very pronounced then I will just get the Zero.
Thanks in advance for any help!!
