ARTISAN FX ZERO SOFT L Black – balanced gaming mousepad with a versatile SOFT base
Ideal for beginners
The ARTISAN FX ZERO SOFT L Black is a versatile gaming mousepad for those who don't want to sacrifice speed or control when it comes to mouse feel. The surface allows you to start the mouse movement directly, but at the same time offers enough resistance for controlled stops and small corrections. At 420 × 330 mm, the L version remains pleasantly compact and still offers enough space for gaming, home office or daily use. The 4 mm thick SOFT base cushions pressure slightly and provides a more comfortable, slightly softer feeling than the fixed MID version. Especially when the hand is slowly getting tired after three hours of gaming, a little flexibility is not so bad.
For IT professionals & enthusiasts
The FX ZERO combines a fabric surface made of 100% polyester with the SOFT base of ARTISAN. The character is deliberately between speed and control pad: The mouse starts easily, glides evenly and can still be braked precisely. The SOFT version is moderately soft and therefore particularly versatile. Compared to the MID version, the pad yields more under pressure. This means that the stopping force can be easily influenced by additional pressure on the mouse – interesting for gamers who like to work with this feedback.
A Versatile, All-Round Balanced Surface
The ZERO is designed as a balanced all-round surface. It combines controlled friction with a clear stopping effect and a direct, smooth start of the mouse. The slightly textured surface provides noticeable feedback and is therefore suitable for different aim styles. Tracking, flicks or small micro-adjustments? The ZERO does not commit itself to a single discipline - and that is exactly its strength.
Base Types
ARTISAN offers the FX ZERO in XSOFT, SOFT and MID. The SOFT version offered here lies exactly between the particularly soft XSOFT and the firm MID base.
- SOFT: moderately soft base
- Versatile for different aim styles
- Slight yield under stronger pressure
- Additional control possible through targeted mouse pressure
The SOFT base is especially recommended for gamers looking for a good middle ground. It remains stable enough for even tracking, but offers more cushioning and pressure control than the MID version.
Mousepad Sizes
The L version measures 420 × 330 mm. This makes it well suited for more compact desks or gamers who don't need a huge mouse area. The SOFT version is 4 mm thick, which means it offers slightly more cushioning than the 3 mm thick MID version.
- Size: L
- Width: 420 mm
- Depth: 330 mm
- Thickness: 4 mm
- Color: Black

Why Artisan?
ARTISAN develops and produces its mousepads in Japan and combines different surfaces with several basic hardness levels. This allows the mouse feel to be adjusted much more precisely to your own gaming style. The FX ZERO SOFT combines a controlled fabric surface with a moderately compliant base. This creates a pleasantly predictable mouse feel with enough flexibility for different games and sensitivity settings.
