Artisan FX Hayate Otsu V2 - Ninja Black

HAYATE OTSU V2: Artisan’s Flagship for Precision and Control

The HAYATE OTSU V2 is a high-end evolution of the original ARTISAN series, designed for users who demand exceptional glide stability and pinpoint accuracy.

Compared to the Hien, it offers reduced glide inconsistency and minimal variation between vertical and horizontal movement, providing a more uniform and reliable tracking experience.

What’s New in V2

  • Electrostatic Control: A new feature significantly reduces static charge on the surface, eliminating any stickiness during use.

  • Cleaner Performance: The surface now resists dust and dirt more effectively, ensuring long-term consistency.

  • Refined Texture: The updated weave pattern delivers even smoother gliding and greater precision than the previous model.

  • Improved Usability: While maintaining the familiar feel of the original, overall ease of use has been enhanced.


Description direct from Artisan:

Fast initial movement. Not like on ice, but controllable fast sliding.

| Small difference in vertical and horizontal sliding

The difference in the feel of vertical and horizontal sliding is small compared to Fei Yan.

    Very pleased with the performance

    "Very pleased with the performance and quality right out the box. Ausmodshop safely packaged my artisan and it was received with no dents or bends. The mousepad itself offers a great glide with my Viper v3 pro."

    Fast delivery as usual, always

    "Fast delivery as usual, always a good experience ordering from you guys! The Hien is my go to, and my old one finally died. so glad to have that brand new fresh glide again. Keep it up Matt :)"

    Daniel B. (5/5)

    Very good looking and balanced

    "Very good looking and balanced pad with a small focus towards speed. Moving from an Artisan Type-99, this pad feels alot more agile in that there is alot less initial friction and roughly a little less stopping power. The Artisan Zero Tenz Red Edition is a great pick especially if you're into more tracking focused games like Fortnite or Overwatch. Can never go wrong with a Zero."

    The Artisan FX Zero (I

    "The Artisan FX Zero (I got Soft) completely lived up to the hype. The surface feels super consistent and smooth while still giving enough control for precise aiming in CS2. Quality is on another level compared to regular mousepads and the soft base feels really comfortable during long sessions."

    Dylan M. (5/5)

    good mousepad, i also got

    "good mousepad, i also got the hien before and i personally like the hien more but this one is smoother and faster, and i think it last longer due to dust and dirt being harder to trap in this one compared to the hien"

    Ausmodshop has always been there

    "Ausmodshop has always been there for me. Whenever I need an item that wont ship to Hawaii or is out of stock everywhere, Ausmodshop has always had what I needed. For an American its not the fastest shipping, but you get what you pay for and with Ausmodshop every item is AUTHENTIC. You get guaranteed real glass pads, Artisan Pads, and Mouse Skates that are commonly counterfeit on other vendors (Looking at you Amazon). Additionally, their customer support is fast and reliable. The Artisan FX Hein pictured above arrived in Pristine Condition and 100% genuine Artisan. Thanks Ausmodshop!"

    "Upgraded from my zero. A bit of an adjustment period to the more responsive y axis but once that was locked in it feels faster but somehow more controlled"

    Fredrika G. (5/5)

    Finally pulled the trigger on

    "Finally pulled the trigger on the Artisan Hien in Wine Red and I’m stoked I went through Ausmodshop. The pad itself is legendary for a reason—that hybrid surface is the perfect balance of speed and control, and the Wine Red looks even better in person than in the photos. As for the service, Ausmodshop killed it. Shipping was lightning fast (arrived in just a couple of days) and the packaging was super secure, so the pad laid perfectly flat right out of the box. It’s a massive relief to have a reliable local shop where you know you’re getting the real deal without the massive wait times or crazy international shipping costs. 10/10 experience, will definitely be grabbing my next upgrade from here."
