Inspired by the tragical experience of spilling a drink onto your desk, Spilled Dragon is a deskmat series that combines organical liquid shapes and draconical motifs.

There's something I would like to address and give a heads up.

I initially planned to have color dyed stitching, but the manufacturer had said that a MOQ for each individual colorway would be 500 units. We have ordered another set of samples with dyed stitching, but unless they're anything but exceptional, I think we will stick with printed stitching, the one currently is on display in current samples album.

Unless, I dunno, we magically reach close to the MOQ of each mat.

I don't even have a desk big enough for this right now and I'm still very psyched!

I was unaware that the Coffee design didn't make the cut :( was planning on getting that one.

Spilled Dragon round 1 is over! We have sold over 500 units worldwide! Thank you so much for believing in me and I like to say that this is just the beginning of my journey in the mechanical keyboard community. I will keep you guys updated regarding production, shipping, and other stuff like that. There will be extras as well (I think), so stay tuned for that.
