ARTISAN FX ZERO SOFT XXL TenZ Red – controlled all-round mousepad for precise aiming
Ideal for beginners
The ARTISAN FX ZERO SOFT XXL TenZ Red quickly feels familiar. The textured fabric surface combines smooth mouse movements with noticeable control when braking. Especially those who switch between gaming, office and longer sessions get a pleasantly versatile mousepad. The XXL surface of 500 × 490 mm offers plenty of freedom of movement - practical for low sensitivities and large arm movements. And yes, the strong TenZ Red stands out. After all, a little color on the desk has never hurt an Aim.
For IT professionals & enthusiasts
Technically, the FX ZERO relies on a well-balanced fabric surface made of 100% polyester. ARTISAN aptly describes the behavior as "Easy to Start, Easy to Stop": The mouse can be set in motion without much resistance, while at the same time there is enough braking effect for controlled flicks, micro-adjustments and quick changes of direction. The SOFT base used here is moderately soft and was designed as a particularly versatile variant for a wide variety of aiming styles.
A Versatile, All-Round Balanced Surface
The ZERO deliberately sits between classic speed and control pads. The start of a movement remains direct, while the textured surface provides clear feedback and supports precise stops. This makes the mousepad suitable for both tracking and flick-oriented aiming. This balance can be particularly pleasant in shooters: fast movement in, clean braking, correction – done.
Base Types
ARTISAN basically offers the ZERO with XSOFT, SOFT and MID bases. This variant uses SOFT. It is moderately soft and, according to the manufacturer, particularly versatile. XSOFT puts more emphasis on stopping power and micro-adjustments, while MID offers a firmer base for smoothing as smoothly as possible. SOFT is pretty much in between and therefore works with many different mouse and gaming styles.
Mousepad Sizes
The XXL version measures 500 × 490 mm and is 4 mm thick. This leaves enough space for long movements even with low mouse sensitivity. Especially in competitive shooters, the mouse does not land right next to the pad if an opponent comes unexpectedly from behind.
Mousepad Selection Guide
The ZERO is aimed at users who are not looking for an extremely fast or a strong braking mousepad. The SOFT version is particularly interesting if tracking, flicks and fine corrections are equally part of the playing style. ARTISAN points out that friction and speed can differ slightly between X and Y directions. Color and design can also have a slight influence on the gliding experience.
Why Artisan?
ARTISAN develops and manufactures its mousepads in Japan. The ZERO focuses on the coordination of surface structure, friction and braking effect. The TenZ version was created in collaboration with TenZ and combines the well-known ZERO concept with its signature and characteristic red coloring.
TenZ Special Edition
This version combines the features of the FX ZERO with the TenZ signature design. The strong red and the TenZ lettering give the otherwise functional mousepad a much more individual look - especially exciting for red, black or deliberately high-contrast gaming setups.

The ARTISAN FX ZERO SOFT XXL TenZ Red is a strong choice for those who don't want to pit speed and control against each other.
