Aothia’s PU leather desk pad measures 23.6 x 13.7 inches, protects desks from spills, scratches and heat, and works as a large mouse and writing pad with a non-slip base. Great for tidy home offices; larger setups may need a bigger size. Other sizes exist.
Description
The Aothia leather desk pad is a 23.6 x 13.7-inch faux-leather mat that sits under a laptop, keyboard and mouse together. It protects the desk from scratches, mug rings and heat, and doubles as a large mouse pad.
Key features of the Aothia desk pad
The surface is PU leather that Aothia describes as water-resistant and easy to wipe with a damp cloth. A suede-style underside helps it stay put. You can write on it, type on it and use a mouse directly on it.
The Aothia desk pad in everyday routines
It suits rented or wooden desks you want to keep in good condition, dining tables doubling as workspaces, and any setup that looks a little bare without a mat.
New pads sometimes arrive curled; weighing the corners with books overnight usually flattens them. It is a simple upgrade that also cuts the noise of a mouse and keyboard on a hard desk.
Buying the Aothia desk pad: sharp objects can mark it
Measure your desk and your mouse swing. The 23.6-inch size suits a laptop plus mouse or compact keyboard; check larger sizes for full-size setups.
If the Aothia desk pad isn’t quite right
Felt and cork mats feel warmer, while extended cloth gaming pads offer more glide for fast mouse movement.
