  • Very overdue video recapping the best technology/pc gaming stores I visited in Japan. All the stores mentioned stock artisan mousepads, I presume lots of others do as well. I can vouch that Bic camera, sofmap and PCones will not disappoint if you have any interest in tech/electronics

      I went back in october with a focus on tech but didn't vlog at the stores, this is a recap since people have been asking lately. Maybe lots of people go in the summer?

    PC-Ones in the west and PC-Shop-Ark in the east are each said here in Japan to be the definitive store. You made a good choice.
    There is also a famous store in Akihabara called TSUKUMO, across the street from Sofmap.

      @@Curree8 When I first heard about it, I was a little surprised that Artisan isn't being exported legitimately, while other Chinese clones are going around the world more and more.
      Japanese companies make good products but are not good at business lol.
      Maybe they can't make really good ones in large quantities, but mousepads are meant to be replaced regularly to begin with...
      I often watch English review videos to examine products, but when I actually try to buy Artisan, it's cheaper than I expected (i.e., I can buy it at its original price with free delivery), and then I finally remember that it's made in my country😂

    Yo seeing those Mionix mice made me feel nostalgic. I remember when they were popular with enthousiast. I feel like they're unknown now. I one time even visited their website and it was down. Thought they stopped doing business. I still have my Naos. Super comfy. Would be awesome if they started producing new wireless mice

      the moment i saw that mionix, i suddenly feel that nostalgia from my early in pc gaming world in high school,
      that time i was confused to choose between deathadder 3.5g infrared sensor or naos for my very first pc gaming rig and finally choosing deathadder instead ~
