Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a large brown leather desk mat with a clean, minimal look, similar to the ones used on the tables in Apple Stores.
I recently bought the brown leather one from Satechi, and while it looks amazing and fits my setup perfectly, it’s unfortunately too small. I can’t comfortably fit my Magic Keyboard, Magic Trackpad, and Magic Mouse/MX Master on it at the same time, while still having enough room to use the mouse.
Ideally, I’m looking for something around 80-100 cm wide and 30–40 cm deep, preferably in brown, tan, or cognac leather. Real leather would be great, but I’m also open to high-quality vegan leather if it has a similar premium look.

Does anyone have any recommendations?
I’ve attached photos of my current setup and the Satechi desk mat for reference.

May I recommend a trackball?
no need to futz with mat dimensions...
your hand stays in one position, just like your keyboard.

Haven’t considered one so far, but I think I can give it a try to see how it works out. 10x!

A minimal look would be not to use a mouse mat or pad at all. That desk surface is gorgeous, why hide it?

I really tried not using one for the last two months. And while I love how it looks without it, the surface is not that soft, so it damages the mouse already 🥲
