I feel like Amazon should be there also. Plenty of mats to choose from, a lot with Prime, if you have it. If Aliexpress is there, Amazon should be too.
Totally cool idea. Not sure how our regular optical mice would perform. The optical mice usually have trouble tracking on glass surfaces. Laser mice work perfectly with glass surfaces.
This ^^ is entirely based on the forum-based discussions over the web. No idea how Shiden Kai mats work with optical mice.
The quality of their printing is frankly amazing and they’ve recently upgraded to stitched edges with the design going over them. Plus I’ve put my older one through the wash at least five times so far and even with unstitched edges it comes out just fine, and the colors are super vibrant again when it’s nice and clean. Not to mention, they’ve got a bunch of other stuff available to add custom designs to.
I would be really cautious when ordering mats from AliExpress again, you have to double-check everything, including THE QUALITY. I’ve purchased one of the “mats”, uploaded 4k image, paid about 30$ for a 1200x900x3 mat. Well, it shipped and it stinked as shit, the rubber smell NEVER EVER WENT AWAY not matter if you wash it, dry it, “ventilate” in air. Threw it away.
I am really sad that other options are not available, as Novelkeys is consistently out of stock.
That would be great to order the mats directly.
Really sorry that you had to go through it. Sucks when a product takes eons to be delivered and turns out be unusable. I’ll add that special comment in the list.
Thanks for bring up this point, I missed out while compiling the list.
