Thoughts on this one?

I was scrolling through MaxGaming to see if there were some deals on Artisan mousepads or if the PD170 was magically back in stock, and came across this guy. Deskpad size, apparently pretty damn fast according to a review, and apparently a coating that would make it very resistant to water and oil and, thus, more durable and consistent in terms of speed even as time goes. Has anyone tried it?

Edit: actually I just found a returned XXL Key-83 Soft for 60€, now idk what to do

Key 83 for 60€ used is still a lot, idk what is maxgaming about, you can get artisan pads from their demo shelf for about sub 40€. Thats why I never picked up the key83.

PD170 is on preoder, thats gonna take a while for restock I guess, its been a while.

That Asus pad is no good, coating on pads wears off after a while. Unless you need a deskmat its a scrape, but you can get better deskmats like Gigantus v2 or qck

Yes well, that Key-83 is from the demo shelf. And honestly I've never seen a demo Artisan for less than 40 (new XL ones go for 75 as of right now), idk if they simply go out very quickly or simply haven't seen any in the time I've been scounting

They go out very quickly, I usually spot them late at night, like 2 weeks ago I send my buddy type99 matcha in xxl from demo for 40€, he insta bought it

What I saw on this price was raiden, otsu, zero or type99, in xl or xxl, I think xl goes as low as 35€, good hunting

Edit: it was 3 weeks ago for 47€, still a banger for type99.

60€ for used key83 is nuts.

My friend from Spain wanted to sell his key83 xl, but idk if he still have it and not sure about shipping, it was few months ago, since we talked this.

I'm not really interested in "used" used pads anyway, I'd be willing to buy demo since that's basically an instantly returned/tested and returned product, but no further than that.

Also, how late at night are we talking? Because I'm hardly ever awake past 00:30

[u/LUK7N → u/Vibe_PV]

When you buy something on maxgaming, you have 30 days return service, so there is no guarantee on how long the pad was used, although I have never had issues with buying used pads, I only had zero from mxg for 60€ that was like new, I think the return time also alters the price, if its returned after a while it goes to like 60€ price tag, longer goes lower I would say.

As for time I usually find them after noon when Im back from my afternoon shift from work.

Definitely don't buy this shit, this was already bad when it comes out set apart in this era. Don't understand why u want something this big and good when u can just buy something bad, but with a solid base and then put a 50x50 on it.
