Best Prices on Desk Mats in Sri Lanka

Choose a desk mat by its size and top surface

A desk mat is a large, soft pad that covers part of your desk, so your keyboard and mouse sit on one smooth surface. It also keeps the desk top safe from marks and scratches. Choose one long enough for your keyboard and mouse side by side, and with a top you like to work on. To finish the desk, see our wireless keyboard and mouse range.

Desk mat features to compare

Start with the top surface. A PU leather top, which is a man-made leather, is smooth and easy to wipe. Some are made to resist water and stains. A cloth top has a soft weave that lets the mouse glide evenly, so you see it on many gaming mats.

Then turn the mat over. A natural rubber or cork base grips the desk, so the mat does not slide when you move the mouse fast.

Mouse makers advise using a mouse pad when your desk is glass, shiny metal or wood with deep grain. On those tops the mouse can lose track and the cursor stops following your hand, so a mat helps.

Some mats add extras. A gaming mat may have RGB lights round the edge, and these take power from a USB port on your computer. Other mats come with a wrist rest, which is a soft foam pad that sits in front of the keyboard. Most cloth and leather mats roll up, so you can carry one to another desk.

If your laptop sits on a laptop stand, the mat gives the separate keyboard and mouse a steady place below it.

What changes the desk mat price in Sri Lanka

A longer mat and a two-material build, such as leather on top with cork below, cost more than a plain cloth pad. Edge lights and a matching wrist rest push the price up again.

Frequently asked questions

Are a desk mat and a mouse pad the same?

Not quite. A desk mat is a bigger pad that holds the keyboard and the mouse together. A mouse pad is smaller and holds only the mouse.

Is a desk mat necessary?

It is not a must. It helps most if you use a separate keyboard and mouse every day, because both then share one large surface.
