Is this the actual Artisan Hayate Otsu V2?
I know I can buy it directly from the Artisan website but 1. Its out of stock for the size I want at the moment, 2. I will have to wait a lot longer to get it. The price is technically cheaper but since there is some extra VAT the price difference is very minor.
The reason I am uncertain about the Maxgaming mousepad is that I know that the “v2” was first released in 2020, which fixed the issues of the previous one. However Artisan doesn’t acknowledge the previous one so the new “v2” is technically a v3. I would assume that they’d use the same naming on Maxgaming, however the price difference between the Hayate Otsu, Zero and Hien is much lower than I’d expect. Its only like 9 euros while on the actual Artisian website its around 20 or so, which also is a much higher precentage increase since the prices are lower to begin with. When they already up the price a bit, I’d assume they would definitely up the price for the Hayate Otsu even more.
Maybe they kept the same name, but does anyone know if Maxgaming has any 2 year old inventory? I would assume not, but I'm asking just in case
