What are the benefits of having a 4mm rather than a 3mm one ?

Post by: Doblki on Sun, 20 June 2021, 06:42:11: I think people just like thicker because there's more cushioning, and if there's gaps or bumps in your desk it's less likely to notice them under a deskmat. Thinner mats might feel a bit more "hard" with the mouse if there's less cushioning, and might not give the same feel when using a keyboard on top of a desk mat. I personally prefer 3mm because I've been ONLY using the steelseries QCK mats (3mm thickness) and I'm really used to it at this point.

Post by: hzsh on Sun, 20 June 2021, 13:01:44: Very unique, I can appreciate that. Top one is my personal favorite but I can see the work put into each of the others as well. Consider adding more text on your IC about your design process/inspiration, looks a bit bare right now imo.

i will consider adding a vote to the IC form to see what users will chose ,personally i don't think there is a major diff...
