Cosmos had "rough" deskmats; it's hard to describe - but very similar to very fine grit sandpaper, not as smooth as most deskmats would be. Find them a bit more abrasive for that reason, have a load of dead skin staining my cosmos deskmat

I have one rough deskmat, used it for 2 hours only, I can't stand the texture on my forearms or the inside of my hand.
Please think about ISO users, add a split left shift to your "alice style" keyboards

Microfibre, but do use the rough deskmat when it's design best matches what I'm using for my board. Probably won't pick up anymore rough deskmats though
