Artisan Zero vs Aqua Control II/Plus V2 for humid climate + tac shooters?

Living in a high humidity area has me going insane trying to pick a mousepad 😭

I mostly play tac shooters (mainly CS2). Originally I was thinking about getting an Artisan Zero since people call it one of the best cloth pads overall, but then I started seeing people mention humidity affecting it over time.

Then I looked into Xraypad Aqua Control pads since they seem much better for humidity resistance.

From what I understand:

  • Aqua Control II = faster
  • Aqua Control+ V2 = more control/stopping power

But the AC+ V2 seems impossible to find in stock at a reasonable price here.

So now I’m wondering:

  • Is Aqua Control II still good for tac shooters/CS2?
  • How does Artisan Hien compare for tac FPS?
  • Is glass actually worth trying for competitive games? I saw the ATK Crimson glass pad and got curious.

Would appreciate opinions from people who’ve actually used these long-term, especially in humid climates.

[WTS] Kreo Ikarus Wireless Mouse – 2 Months Used

[WTS] Kreo Ikarus – ₹3500

2 months used, invoice available and still under warranty. Condition is excellent, no issues with the mouse at all.

Selling because I realized I prefer more claw-focused symmetrical shapes, so I’m planning to switch mice. Otherwise it’s been great.

Can share invoice in DMs if interested.

I’m looking to buy a hall effect keyboard mainly for competitive FPS, and I’ve narrowed it down to a few options but I’m kinda confused.

Here are the ones I’m considering (with prices):

Madlions MAD68 HE V2 – ₹4400 Madlions MAD60 HE – ~₹3700 Ajazz AK680 V2 – ~₹4000 MCHOSE Ace 68 – ~₹5000

What I care about:

  • movement consistency (bhop, strafing, counter-strafe)
  • low latency / responsiveness
  • good rapid trigger implementation
  • decent build (not super cheap feeling)

I don’t care about RGB or aesthetics, just performance.

From what I understand: Madlions = best value MCHOSE = more polished Ajazz = somewhere in between

For people who’ve used these, is the extra ₹1000 for MCHOSE actually worth it?

Or is something like the MAD60 HE already good enough and I’m overthinking?

Also, does switching to hall effect actually help movement consistency or is it mostly placebo?

Would appreciate real user experience instead of spec sheet comparisons 🙏
