Title: No mousepad/deskmat under 900mm width?
Post by: Geroximo on Sat, 08 December 2018, 06:15:30

My desk has a keyboard drawer / tray which is 750mm wide (29 inches)
I want to place a mousepad on it which covers the whole surface, but I can't find a gaming mousepad/deskmat that is below 890-900mm(36 inches) wide.
Why do they make these extended mousepads only in 900mm width? I need 750mm width.
Or am I just too stupid to find the correct product?

The generic ones on ebay come in lengths including 600, 700 and 800mm.  In a quick search I came across this offering.  You can probably find a better price if you search a bit more though.

Is there a reason not to buy a larger one and cut it to an exact fit for your drawer?

That's the spirit. Just a little diy.

I ran into this issue recently getting a mousepad for the keyboard tray in my office. I'm not sure if its available anywhere at the moment, but the RAMA Canvas is 600mm x 250mm which fit my tray just about perfectly.
