A big mouse pad is good. So it follows that an absolutely enormous mouse pad is better, right? Gamers, creative types, and general desktop PC enthusiasts seem to agree. Here are the best on the market for all your massive-mouse-pad needs.
There aren’t a whole lot of variables to consider with these “desk mats” or “desk pads,” as they’re sometimes called.
People often opt for them to protect the finish of their desktops (like a nice wood or tempered glass), but some users just like the feel of a big mouse pad and an even surface with their keyboard. Some of the most dedicated gamers want a massive surface area to take advantage of the hyper-sensitive lasers in their gaming mice.There are a few desirable features to consider, however, like an anti-fray stitched edge or the option to machine-wash the mat if you should spill a drink.

The styling is flat black so it should fit in with just about any desk decor, and at 4mm thick it doesn’t skimp on the material. Aukey offers a two-year warranty on the mat itself, something that’s pretty rare in this space.
Best Gaming Pick: Corsair MM300 Gaming Mouse Pad ($20)
To be honest, there isn’t much that differentiates a “gaming” mouse pad from a non-gaming model when they’re both made of similar material with similar footprints. But Corsair’s oversized offering is specifically designed for super-accurate laser and optical mouse tracking, and your keyboard will enjoy uh, super-accurate placement too, I guess.
