Raiden is Artisan's high-speed cloth surface. It is known for very low initial friction and smooth glide, while Soft adds more stopping power and forgiveness than Mid.

Maybe skip it if
- You mainly play Valorant or CS2 and rely heavily on stopping power
- You want a slow control pad
- You over-flick often and need the pad to help you stop
- You dislike very fast cloth surfaces
Personal notes
Tested experience
Needs personal testing. Expected to be much faster than Zero, Type-99, Saturn Pro, and Hyperion. Soft should be the safest Raiden variant for people who want speed without going fully uncontrolled.
Pros
- Extremely smooth glide
- Very low static friction
- Excellent for tracking-heavy games
- Great micro-adjustment freedom
- Soft base adds some stopping power compared to Mid
Cons
- Not ideal if you need strong stopping power
- Can feel too fast for tactical FPS players
- Expensive
- Limited India availability
- Less forgiving than balanced-control pads
