[IC] Busy Town R3

[nostyle_au]

Busy Town R3
We're making it out of the town with these ones.

Discord | IC Form

It's been a while, and while I don't usually like to revisit the same design I think it's time to make an exception with this one. I've received many requests since R2 ended to offer this again, so here we are.
This time I'd like to offer a few more choices however, as with R2 it was a very limited offering of only the rough texture in the single design.

Potential Options

All mats will be offered in rough texture, it feels and looks better. It's also consistently been by far the best selling option.


First up we have the returning 900x400 size. However this time I've two extra colorways prepared for some more muted options.
A beige and a greyscale felt fitting for this community, I'm personally extremely fond of the beige.


Next up we have a TKL mat. Same colours as before but a different size.
This one is 385 x 171mm. Chosen to cover most TKLs on the market with a little extra peaking out 


And finally, a 60% mat. Once again the same colours are shown here.
This time we've got 315 x 140mm. Same deal as before, should show a little around the edges.

Pricing

900 x 400mm sized mats would be priced around the $20-25 mark, as was the same with R1 and R2
For the smaller mats this should scale quite heavily downwards, due to the lower cost of freight due to decreased weight. Will need to organise quotes to finalise pricing.

Vendors

US: Mekibo
CA: Mino Keys
EU: Keygem
UK: Prototypist

Thoughts

At this stage this is VERY much an interest check. I'm in the process of deciding on which options to run.
Personally I'm leaning towards all three colours in the full size mat, then one or two in the other sizes, but the IC response will really dictate that.

Please fill out the IC form and give any feedback you can, I'm including a long answer section at the bottom in case you've any thoughts or suggestions that aren't displayed in the IC.

Noice. Full size has to be the original for me. Tkl etc I personally like the monochrome 

[mul7i]

most interested in the og 900x400 and tkl option 

[twitchytheinsideman]

og full size and beige tkl it is

[masje]

excited for this, new colors are fire :nut:

[xLeHoy]

I don't need another one, no... I don't need it...

[HubertThemad]

Missed the first two rounds, will not miss this third one!

[Dejusk]

One of my favorite deskmats ever, so glad to see it's back again. I'm a huge fan of the new beige color for the standard size mat. For the smaller mats, I think the pop of color that the OG design has will look great peeking out ever so slightly from underneath a board. If price will scale down that much though I'll realistically probably pick up every color available for the 60 and TKL

[Magnificent Bureaucrat]

Struggle to justify the full sized mat in the office so absolutely nailed on for TKL and 60 scale.

Really hope we start to see more people doing this.

[Patty]

In for the TKL size!! Loving smaller mats these days

[Kokaloo]

[Woovie]

[fableboy10]

i need this so badly.

[g00pey]

love the greyscale mad, glwic 

[plin2s]

I know that light theme is not popular nowadays, but anyways it's a bad idea to change default font color on forums.

[Magnifikaz]

Iid be interested in the 60% mat and og colour is my favourite .

Should change it back  ;D

[Rob27shred]

Down for a beige & OG TKL sized ones!

[iwobobul]

I tried real hard, but cannot understand why people like this, and I came here uninvited to manifest it.

Beige one I'd actually be able to tolerate on my desk though.

[geec]

Been looking to replace my old one for some time because I spilled ink on it so +1!

[konstantin]

More toy car deskmats is always a good thing Beige looks dope.

[nostyle_au]

Vendors chosen, organising a sample of the beige print to ensure it prints properly. Then GB dates will be chosen 

Grey was cut as it didn't IC very well. So we'll run with OG and Beige in the multiple size options.

[EdgeOfInfinity]

3rd time's the charm, for me

[mastermachetier]

i am in for this !

[extrapriusplease]

ohh love the monocolor ones, hyped for this!

[mr_foggy]

brooo when gb

Sorry, I've had a lot going on IRL! We've organised a sample of the beige and the print looks great but waiting on confirmation regarding stitching still. Vendors and such are all organised so it's just finalising those details and then locking in a date.

[MagicElyas]

I am definitely in for this one, I missed R2 cause stoopid, but it won't happen again. I really like the 3 colourways that you offer, will get a full size colour and a beige TKL size.

[KenGuru]

Definitely picking one or two up! I think i might go beige for the big one because my eyes, but kinda down for the OG color TKL or 60s mat
