3 Things to Know About Woven Mousepad Noise

Woven mousepads create more audible friction than smooth cloth pads The textured surface of woven fiber pads like the Artisan Hien produces a subtle scratching or brushing sound as the mouse feet rub against the fibers.

The noise is not loud enough to matter for most people Unless you are recording audio nearby or using a very sensitive microphone, you probably will not notice or be distracted by the sound.

If noise is your top priority, choose a smooth control pad instead Smooth cloth pads have a finer, denser weave that dampens sound. Woven pads offer speed and texture, but you must accept the noise trade-off.
