Hello Geekhack!
This is an interest check for a round 2 of the "Deep" deskmat,
the optical illusion, minimalist mat.

The Deep Deskmat round 1 ran as a group buy on March 2021 with 5 colors
(black, white, beige, hackerman, and gum). This time, I would like to ask for your
help in finalizing the colorways for round 2 (more choices!). Please vote for your
favorite colors in the IC form below!
See the results of the voting below!

Specifications:

- 900 x 400 x 4 mm
- Stitched edges
- Rubber non-slip bottom


I have also updated the design of the Deep Deskmat for this round.
Some of the minor changes are:

- subtle gradients to help the illusion
- minor changes to the layout
- offered more colors to pick from


These are designed as 900x400x4mm. The keyboard is a RAMA WORKS
u80 render. Thank you RAMA WORKS for the keyboard design!

How would the mat look if the rectangular prism extended to the edge of the mat?

Thanks for the heads up! I noticed late that it copied the link in a weird way but it's fixed

I did try this but manufacturing wise it was difficult to properly align the edges, this way it's easier for manufacturing to reproduce. I can try to show you a sample later of what it would look like if the edges were pushed all the way though

If manufacturing is an issue, then there's no need to entertain that thought. Thank you for the response.

If there was a greenish black with orange lines option I'd definitely be in.

I'll try to meet you in the middle and make it a really light/bright cream! That way it doesn't look too dark and could look white even  ;D

That'd be wonderful! It's an insta-buy if it's white, hopefully it's close enough to that cause it looks a bit too yellow for me right now. Buying the White variant either way. :)

Thanks for pointing it out! Looking back I do see how it seems more yellow than clear. I'll most likely go with the white lines instead!

It was a hard decision to limit the returning colors to just 2 slots but I also wanted to give more changes to the new colorways :( thank you for the support!
