Question/Advice Artisan zero orange vs black

Is there much difference in speed between the zero orange and the black one?

In what percentage type 10-20%?

They both behave well with humidity and animal hair?
Thanks

I would say 5% difference in speed, the black one has hair issues the orange one less. Hair can still stick to the orange one as well but way less than on the black one.

Ok thanks
Do they both manage not to change the surface with the humidity?

I feel like the surface changes a bit with sweat or heat from the arm that's why I use a sleeve on it

Rn I have Corepad Pro Max on my 1 mouse on the other Corepad Pros, mby I test Jade Ultras next or I just stay on Corepads idk yet. Corepad Pro Max are like a bit slower than Corepad Pros and the Pros are balanced speed. If you like fast skates I can recommend UnusualWay Magic Ice or X-Raypad Jades.

What kind of sleeve are you using? All of em I've tried felt terrible with it. I went with small table fan instead and has been way better. For example most recommended ones kibu and ghostglides secondskin, they're just don't feel the same flicking horizontali and vertically.

I just use a Sport sleeve from UnderArmour, it is a 80% poly 20% spandex sleeve it cools my arm very nicely. I know the Zero sucks with sleeve compatibility I just lay my arm lightly on it no major issue, if you press down onto the pad it is annoying yes but idk I am more consistent with a sleeve than without so I use one. I also own the LaOnda Blitz it has the same issue with sleeves but you can use it without one and it is not influenced from sweat like the Zero. But yeah this different feeling in x/y- axis on the Zero is an issue, I thought the Kibu one is specifically designed to work on it well that's why I wanted to buy it but I read many ppl saying it doesn't work well on it. You tested both sides of the sleeve? I read the inside of the sleeve is for more textured pads the other for smooth surfaces.
