Here is a desk mat design I put together.

It looks awesome! I'm thinking the gear wheel could be bigger and have hieroglyphics (Mayan or Egyptian) engraved into it. Your design is more suitable to Navaho tapestry, though.

Thanks mahvin.
It was suppose to be a more "tech" looking desk mat,
but I see exactly your point.
;)

It looks good Wallace. Is the mat used for a computer mouse of for something else?

Yes Tas, that's right.
It's essentially a very large mouse pad/mat,
that cover most of my desk.
Below is a picture of the new pad/mat,
that inspired me to create my own pad/mat design.
I removed my keyboard for the picture,
so the pad/mat could be seen clearly.

Thanks you guys.
:) :) :)

I did submit my designs to the same gaming retailer,
that I purchased the new mat from.
Hopefully they will decide to have some of them printed.

I'm also currently working on this design below,
which incorporates maniacal keyboard switches.

Definitely like the graphic desktop pad, Wallace. Just hope it's laser mouse friendly. ;)

That's a good question Lyle.

I use and optical mouse,
so this isn't an issue for me.
Not sure how a laser mouse would react to these mats.
