A cult-classic control pad, reimagined in neon

Some collaborations whisper. This one hums like a city at midnight.

The Yako Edition is a special collaboration between 2000Fun, a well-known gaming retailer based in Hong Kong, and ARTISAN, the Japanese manufacturer revered for obsessively consistent, competition-grade mousepads. Built on the legendary FX ZERO platform, the Yako Edition pairs ARTISAN’s trusted performance with a striking urban visual inspired by neon-lit cityscapes and late-night streets.

The result is a pad that feels familiar in aim, yet subtly different under the mouse.

A different FX ZERO feel by design

At its core, the Yako Edition is still an FX ZERO. That means a balanced control surface trusted by tactical FPS players worldwide. However, the printed surface introduces a noticeable change in texture and glide compared to the standard FX ZERO.

The printing process slightly smooths out the surface, reducing perceived roughness and delivering a faster, more fluid glide while maintaining the stopping power FX ZERO users expect. Think cleaner starts, smoother micro-adjustments, and confident halts when snapping to targets.

Many players describe it as a control-leaning all-rounder that sits comfortably between raw speed pads and ultra-muddy control surfaces.

Surface & Feel

The surface is made from 100% polyester knit with twisted yarn, creating subtle texture bumps that enhance stopping control without feeling scratchy. Mouse movement stays smooth and predictable, even during fast flicks or tense tracking scenarios.

Glide Characteristics

• Consistent glide across the pad
• Excellent micro-tracking with dependable stopping power

Foam & Control

Available only in XSOFT and SOFT, the Yako Edition leans into ARTISAN’s pressure-responsive foam philosophy. Press down slightly and the pad answers with extra control, perfect for clutch moments and fine aim corrections.
