Recommendations for an authentic mousepad? - eviltoast

Hiya peeps, my mouse mat has served its time, and it is time for a new one. Until now, I’ve had one of these huge ones, that cover half the desk. But I think this time I’m gonna aim for a normal-sized one. I’d also like to avoid cheap Chinese wares or anything low-quality. Anyone got any nice recommendations for mousepads? Do you have soft ones or hard ones? wink Are there any brands out there that stand out among the plethora of choice in terms of quality?

The most important aspect of it for me is the “feel good” factor.

edit: Bonus points if there are any Linux-oriented ones, as in merch. And minus points for amazon links :>

Lemmy know :)

    Artisan makes some quality deskpads if you are interested in spending a little extra. Otherwise a generic deskmat will do the trick and you won’t be too worried about dirtying it or ruining it.

    Can’t say I’ve run into Linux oriented mouse/deskpads but it’s likely one search term away!

      Yeah saw these while browsing, a little too expensive for being a mouse pad imo, but the do look very clean and high quality!

        Check out Lethal Gaming Gear’s own in house imitations. I myself have their Saturn XL. It’s a nice feel to it, a little.bit squishy, 0 skin irritation, and the texture is fantastic for FPS shooters which is what I normally play. I forget which Artisan it’s supposed to mimic, though.
