Felt & Cork Desk Mat $45

Key Features

The edge is stitched, not cut

A machine-stitched binding runs parallel to the edge, the whole way round — the reason the mat lies flat on day one and stays flat a year later.

Cork underneath, so it stays put

The back is natural cork, one piece with the felt above it. Cork grips the desk the way felt cannot — it stays put, and lifts clean.

Five millimetres

0.2 in (5 mm) through the whole sheet — enough to soften a keyboard's clatter and give a wrist somewhere to rest, not just a sheet of fabric.

A surface, not a mat

Paper laid on it takes a pen without tearing, and a hot cup leaves the desk beneath cool. Wipe a spill with a damp cloth and it comes back.

Before the first email

The keyboard, and nothing else — a desk that already looks ready.

When you write by hand

Enough give under the pen that it doesn't skate or tear through.

When the cup comes down

Set down mid-sentence — felt takes the heat, desk stays cool.

After the lamp goes on

Charcoal disappears; Ash keeps a little light on the desk.

In use

The whole working width

Seen from straight above with a day laid out on it. Bare desk still shows beyond the mat on every side — it is a working area on a table, not a cover for one.

Close enough to read

The heathered grain of the felt, the stitched edge, and the tan tab folded over the end. At this distance the surface stops being a colour and becomes a material.

Ash and Charcoal

The two colourways, shot from directly overhead so nothing about the light flatters one over the other. Ash keeps a little light on the desk; Charcoal disappears into the evening.

Where the cork comes from

Harvested cork oak bark beside the mat's own underside. Coarse, curved and irregular against fine, flat and even — one is what the other is made from, not what it was cut from in one piece.

Why We Chose It

Desk mats fail in one predictable way: they arrive rolled and never lie down again. We chose this one because its own maker sells it on the fix — a stitched binding running the whole way round — and because at 0.2 in it has the mass to stay where it is put. The cork underside grips the desk rather than sliding on it. What the felt is spun from we will not say: the maker says felt and stops there, so we do too.

The Daytakt Team

Five millimetres of felt over cork. A desk, made ready.

Questions

Everything else worth asking.

Will it curl at the edges?

No. The stitched edge and shipping flat in a box — never rolled — are exactly what stop it.

Does the felt shed onto the desk?

No. The felt is dense enough that it does not pill or shed in normal use.

Can I write on it?

Yes. Paper on the mat takes a pen without tearing — there's give, but not enough for the nib to sink.

Will a hot mug mark it?

No. A hot cup set on the felt leaves the desk beneath it cool — that's the layer's job.

How do I clean it?

A damp cloth, wiped and left to dry flat. Treat it as a felt surface, not a washable one.

Which size should I buy?

35 × 16 in fits a full keyboard and mouse; 31 × 12 in suits a narrower desk. Measure your desk's depth first.

Is it slippery, like a coated mouse pad?

No — felt has a little drag, unlike a coated gaming surface. In exchange it's quiet, warm, and you can write on it.

Nice quality keyboard mat and can flip it over to felt or cork side depending how you feel. Very nice for the price

Excellent mat. Perfectly fits the classic TKL. Soft, and not too hard.

It looked really good on my 75% layout magnetic keyboard, guys.

Solid quality throughout.

Great high quality item

Beautiful as described and after some use there are no issues with the mouse sensor. The quality is average. I recommend

Good product, simply but functional.

You can put it on your desk so you don't get cold in winter. It also has the function of cushion.

It's thick, very good for these cold days and using the PC.

Amazing quality. Feels really comfortable on my arms and doesnt feel annoying when gaming.

Excellent, the material made me doubt but honestly I think it was the best decision, I really like how it looks and feels, 100% recommended.

Very good material. It didn't come with a bad smell. Highly recommended!

As advertised. Excellent material and workmanship.

They seem to be of good quality, I recommend them. I would buy them again.
