LONDOTop Grain Leather Extended Mouse Pad - Desk Mat

I love this leather mouse pad. In fact I love it so much I want it in every colour! It really adds a touch of class and luxury to your desk.It isn't cheap but priced about right for a genuine leather mouse pad of this size. It's reassuring to know that, if cared for with leather balm and/or conditioner, it will last a long time and perhaps even improve over time.Out of the box it lay almost totally flat immediately and I began using it moments later. It comfortably accommodates a full sized keyboard and mouse and the only people who might struggle for space for their rigorous mouse usage are gamers. That can be overcome by using a keyboard without a numpad.The mouse pad is 2mm in thickness. That doesn't sound a lot but in real world use I find it feels totally fine. It kind of makes the pad feel more a part of the desk ...more grounded you could say.My mouse flows effortlessly over the surface and I didn't notice any hinderance or issues using the pad when doing quite intricate work in Photoshop and the like.Don't be overly concerned with any scuffs or scrapes the pad picks up along the way. They're easily sorted by gently rubbing the area with a clean cloth. More substantial marks can be covered up with balm/conditioner. It's a natural product and imperfections can be expected and ideally, embraced. If you want perfection you might be better suited to a PU leather pad instead.I wouldn't be without mine now and can 100 percent recommend it.

This is the real thing. I have a couple of workspaces at home and bought one of these a couple of years ago. Then I made the mistake and bought a "recycled leather" desk mat for the other workspace. Eventually that started fraying at the edges and have to be discarded. So I decided to replace it with another LONDO genuine leather desk mat. It looks good. It does what it is supposed to do. And it lasts. Understand that this is real natural leather, not plastic. There is going to be imperfections in the grain. Over time the colour might change and there will be scratches on the surface. But that is simply part of the character of a genuine leather product, that is likely to last for many years.

Navigating the vast sea of desk accessories, I stumbled upon this leather mat, a beacon of value in the price-to-quality ratio. Its primary mission? To partner with my heating mat and banish the icy chill that had taken residence on my desk. On this front, it performed admirably, serving as a cozy intermediary between the cold expanse of my desk and the warm embrace of the heating mat.However, no hero is without its Achilles' heel, and for this leather mat, it's the tenderness of its constitution. This softness, while pleasant to the touch, proves to be a double-edged sword. My keyboard, for instance, finds itself a little too comfortable, sinking in and leaving behind a memoir of imprints. Similarly, the buttons on my sleeves, akin to artists leaving their mark on a canvas, bestow upon it a collection of round circles. These impressions are not exclusive to its heated underbelly conditions; they're a testament to its inherent gentleness.This leads me to the crux of my reflection: the mat's longevity. With the ease at which it welcomes imprints, one wonders about its capacity to stand the test of time. Will it age like fine wine, or will it succumb to the wear and tear of daily use? Only time will tell.As I continue on this journey with my leather mat, I remain optimistic yet cautious. It has already proven itself as a worthy ally against the cold, a testament to its inherent value. As for its durability, the future holds the answers, and I await them with bated breath.

I bought this leather mouse mat before but there was stain on it, so I returned it - i believe the stain was from the packaging. My money was promptly refunded (thanks Londo). Because I still was interested in purchasing a leather mat, I bought another from the same company and this time there were no issues with quality - it was even cheaper second time round, no complaints there. My mouse works perfectly on it and feels nice to the touch. I'm using a full size keyboard, with a numeric keypad and there's enough space for both mouse and keyboard. It's of a good thickness and has good stitch details around the edge. the company logo is quite discreet also. Overall, I'm happy with the product.

It's real leather. I gave it a once over with Saphir Creme Universelle when it arrived and it absorbed it right away - PU leather does not do this.I don't use it as a mousepad, so I don't know how good it is for that, but I use it to protect my desk when I sit down to polish shoes or other metal objects. It's thick enough to stop a light bump from a metal object denting the wood of my desk.Honestly, value for money isn't great - it's 40 quid for a slab of leather - but it does look and feel nice, and will last forever.**** After 2 years ******I now have 5 of these, in different colours. One for work, one for home, one for each of the kids. People at work are now buying them as well going 'oooh, that's nice' and asking where I got it from. They are still as good as the day I bought them. Very highly recommended still

What's not to like about this - ok a tad more expensive than other large mats - but genuine leather with character - a natural product with it's own marks, colour and originality. This is truly a lovely piece of work and worth every penny - My Mont Blanc pen look fabulous on it too ;-)
