Customize your mousepad

Before you design, choosing the right size is the most important step — it ensures a comfortable fit on your desk and room for your keyboard and mouse.

Key considerations

  • Desk space: measure your desk to find the ideal footprint.
  • Keyboard & mouse: make sure your size comfortably fits both.
  • Portability: travelling with it? A smaller stitched-edge size is durable and light.
