Question Deskmat size question

[axlrose]

I am looking for my first mat that is big enough for my keyboard and mouse. What size should I be looking for? I have my desktop in a few different locations throughout the year, so measuring the location itself isn't really useful.

Thanks!

I use this one:

ROG Sheath | Mice & Mouse Pads | ROG United States

ROG Sheath is an ultra-large cloth mat optimized for all gaming mice and sensors. It gives you precise control, and ultra-smooth and quiet mouse tracking.

Is that 16" x 36"?

Is that about the right size for a regular sized keyboard and mouse?

Its way bigger than that. A full-size keyboard is typically around 17 to 18 inches wide. Add 12 inches for a mouse on one side, or both sides.

So you would suggest about 30" wide?

I'm currently looking at something that is 12 x 22 or 15.5 x 31.

I love how you elided units. Don't ever change.

Or do, and instead of a 3D printer have a bunch of chains under the mousemat that are shot through pilots in rafters, then grab your skin away from arteries with hooks for that Obsolete Human Suspensions / Cenobite thing.

I'm not sure what elided is...but the thread mentions these...

I love how your reading skills are below that of my eighth grade students.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I like a full size mat that covers most of the desk.
Mine is 24" x 48"

I'm currently looking at something that is 12 x 22 or 15.5 x 31.

For keyboard and mouse, my 31.5 x 15.5 (or around that) is my go-to.

You would want something like the LLG Saturn XXL mouse pad for plenty of room for the keyboard and mouse, depending on if your desk will fit it or not.

1000 mm x 500 mm ( 39.3701" x 19.685")

Ended up with this size for a Christmas gift. Trying to move to a mounted arm monitor that was also a gift and the new playmate and a new mouse. Thanks for the help.
