doesn't washing damage mousepad too much? i use alcohol spray and wipe with some soft cloth but that will work for like a month its kinda annoying so maybe i might buy one so i can change depending on the day how i aim

It might but I have no other choice. Alcohol wipe can only do so much. There is a chance it might ruin it and I don't know for sure cause as I said mine is very cheap and its not that good to begin with so I can risk washing it . I really have to buy a good mousepad. Hardstuck ascendant for a reason :(

I always play sleeved and I use a lint roller for things like dust and cat hair. When I clean it I just use dish soap and scrub it thoroughly in the sink

I heard scrubbing it was bad and the best is to fill a Basin or bath tub with water put dish soap and let it rest and after 3 - 4 hours wash it throrougly with a soft sponge and let it dry.

I tried that but the thing is it didn't get all the dirt out in my case, so I just ended up scrubbing it with the thought that if it messed up the mousepad I would just get a new one. But it may differ for different people, especially with something like an artisan

I generally leave mine in for about a day and then change the soap and leave it in again if the dirt is too much and rinse it off. Try warm water. helps a lot.

i yes sleeve a worst enemy for artisan zero, what mousepad do use to use with sleeve cuz its almost impossible to use sleeve for artisan zero
i also use lin roller and some alcohol spary and so on but maybe i should try just scrubbing

I used to use a Zowie GSR but recently got a Steelseries QCK, I bought an artisan zero in the middle but it was too quick for me. I just play with a sleeved shirt or hoodie I don't have a gaming sleeve. It was only for a short time but I didn't really have an issue playing sleeved on the artisan

If you feel zero’s fast type 99 exists. Although this also might be a worst mousepad for sleeve user so idk but good choice ig

I play on a piece of leather (literally) on top of a laptop bag so I don't know if my observations are correct but my friend covers up his mousepad with a cloth every time he leaves his computer idk to prevent dust or smth.
