When I got into this hobby two years
ago, I wouldn’t have imagined my life and wallet would have
suffered so much. After spending a ‘good amount’ of money on
my first board -an ALT with Cherry Browns-
I came to
the conclusion this was just the beginning. First things
first, so I decided trying out different switches. Started
with some Cherry Reds, some Kaihl switches, and later on
more ‘popular’ switches like
Gateron Silent Inks,
Zealios, Healios - etcetera. I know now linears are my
thing. However, soon after joining the Mechanical Keyboard
addicts on Reddit, I saw people with their so-called
‘endgames’, which were so much
nicer than mine! Started
learning to solder with cheaper boards, grabbed a
Discipline, a Mysterium, a KBD8X and now I’m stuck with my
(hotswap!) Maja with lubed Healios. Quite the upgrade since
my last rubber dome,
which was a Ergo 4000.
Now,
because of Covid, I - like many others - have been looking
for other hobbys, since a lot of people unfortunately had
more free time on their hands. So, getting into mechanical
keyboards was one thing, but I recently
tried to start
leatherworking too. After a fair amount of practice, I
decided to try and make something more useful for me
personally. I had a black HyperX deskmat laying on my desk,
which was good, but it started suffering
from severe
discoloration. I thought to myself: “Leather, deskmats…why
not make a leather deskmat?”. And so I did. My first try
turned out to be pretty nice, if I may say so myself, and
now I’m confident enough to share
with you my first
couple of handmade deskmats!
[TL;DR]:
I love mechanical keyboards, but couldn’t find any deskpad
of my taste. So I made my own, and now I’m confident enough
to share with you the nicest, customizable handmade deskmat
ever.
I am not a very good photographer. Also please keep in
mind most pictures are just parts of the deskmat, as I am
not able to stitch every combination just now.
TYPE_ACE DESKMATS
Do you
consider yourself a ‘minimalist’ like me? Or maybe you just
like having your desk clean at all times, organized, and not
full of funky colors? Not a fan of all those hectic prints
all over your desk?
TYPE_ACE deskmats are full-sized
deskmats (900mm x 400mm), with a nice combination of leather
and woolfelt. Your keyboard and typing sounds will be
dampened, and your mouse will have its greatest time ever,
gliding over that piece of
3 mm leather. Each deskmat
has a layer of cork rubber so that it doesn’t slide all over
your desk.
TYPE_ACE deskmats are customizable to your
liking! Do you want a brown leather with a light grey
woolfelt, to compliment your desk full of plants and other
natural items? Or are you more of an ‘industrial-style’
black-and-white
person? Pick the colors you like! Each deskmat will then be
finished stitched with your favourite colour. Or maybe you
want a yellow stitching to match it with your
keycaps/keyboard; everything is possible!
TYPE_ACE deskmats are popular sized (900mm x 400mm x 5mm)
deskmats which consist of:
- 300mm x 400mm mouse pad, made of 3mm top grain leather in two colours: black or brown;
- 600mm x 400mm 3mm thick, water repellent, 100% wool felt in two colours: light grey or dark gray, both naturally mixed colours;
- a 2mm layer of cork rubber to prevent slipping and sliding;
-
stitched with a color to your liking. All colours of
the rainbow, but also including white, black and
brown.
Pricing and shipping:
I’ll leave this first groupbuy open for a while, in which the price will be 69, or $69, shipping not included.
Shipping in Europe will be 15, shipping to the rest of the world will be $35 per deskmat.
The estimated time crafting and shipping one deskmat will be around 7 business days, give or take, depending on whether I need to get more leather or not.
The deskmat will be shipped boxed due to the leather not being foldable, weighing less than 2kg in total, to minimize the costs.
Ordering 2 or more deskmats will increase the price of shipping a bit.
I hope to reach at least 10 sales, so that I’ve earned back the money I’ve spent, and some for buying new materials.
You’ll get an extra goodie and of course an epic TYPE_ACE sticker too!
