Native Union Desk Mat – Water-Resistant Dual-Sided Desk Pad for Office or Home – for Laptop, Mouse, Keyboard, Writing – Easy to Clean & Protective – Made of Sustainable Materials – 25.6" x 14.1"

I wanted this mat for a job it was probably not designed for, yes, technically I have it on my desk and want to use it to protect my desk surface, but I am using it for making paint. I have my mulling slab atop it and it is going to get coated in pigment from making watercolor. It does a great job keeping the slab from scratching the desk or from sliding around. Staining is more of a mixed bag, most things wipe right off, if I actually spill ink or watercolor I can easily remove it (I tested) but pigments are going to stain it, I tested with my most stain prone pigment (pyrrole red, PR254) and it definitely stained, but not as badly as other desk mats I have tried. It was very easy to clean and it laid flat, I think this thing is perfect, yes it is going to turn all manner of fun colors in my care, but it is doing the job I needed it to do better than anything else I have tried and any basic desk usage is likely going to keep it pristine with basic cleaning.

I would have loved to receive this as a corporate gift (no logo, just as a holiday gift). It's just right for a laptop and I can take it with me to any hot desk, co-working space, or cafe to have a proper writing desk experience. It's got a surface that feels like it's got a protective hardness - liquids will bead up and not soak in - but not so hard that it wouldn't feel great for putting a piece of paper and handwriting something. You need a little give in a writing mat, and this has it. it's a flexible mat that comes rolled up (in a displayable, gift-wrappable Native Union package/box). There's a band of textured imprint across one of the edges (on each side, whether in black or caramel brown). For me, that's grippy enough for a glass of water to be kept next to my laptop, which I usually try not to do. I don't know if I would use it for a wireless mouse, and it's on the upper edge if you judge by the the Native Union logo, so I'm not sure how someone else would use it. It seems to be more for higher design appeal, rather than for a certain function.

I have a lot of desk mats. Most of which I've paid around $20-30 for. Those are like, the keeb community really nice production mats. I've had gaming mats. Expensive for the space, they do precise things. This isn't really either of those. The mat itself is on the smaller side. Edges, nicely burnished. Embossed logo, it's alright. Color is lovely. Texture, overall appearance is really nice. I do love that it matches my kraft Native cables, I dig the aesthetic on a whole. It's a mood. My biggest question is with PU leather, is it a $50 mood? I'm really not sure. My keyboard isn't sliding around? At least with the cloth pads it did this AND prevented my mouse from attracting dirt and cat hair. Feeling like this is a pretty desk protector without a bunch of functionality I could get for a more reasonable price. It's nice. It's attractive. Well made. I'd say worth if you're desperate to match Native kraft cables with the rest of your decor. Otherwise maybe a pass?

This table mat was a good purchase because it is made of waterproof, robust material and has a non-slip underside. As the photo shows, I put it on my desk, which has a laminate surface that attracts dust, is difficult to keep clean, and even after cleaning it shows streaks and water marks. This table mat has a surface on which my mouse works very well, which means that I can finally work without a mouse pad and have practically no restrictions when it comes to mouse movements. My keyboard sits firmly and non-slip on the surface and my hands can rest on the mat without the sweat stains that I unfortunately see on the laminated surface after a day's work. The only thing I have to criticize about the product description is the term double-sided, because a mat must necessarily have two sides. It's not like you can use both sides as a surface. The underside is clearly the one that should rest on the table, so the term double-sided is misleading. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend buying it, especially for people who spend a lot of time sitting at their desk.

After one month, this product still doesn’t lay flat on my desk. The suggestion by Native Union that I should consistently have heavy books sitting on this mat to keep it flat is unrealistic. Look elsewhere for a better quality mat, you won’t find it in this product.

It looks great. That’s about the good I have to say for it. It feels cheap, easily slides around on desk surface yet doesn’t feel that great when using the mouse. The size is great for me personally and my set up. I’m keeping it simply for the way it looks, when it can be replaced with something better it will never be used again.

I am excited to see this advertised on Amazon; it is a great addition to my desk with a glass stop. All of my office accessories are black so this mat gives an aesthetic appearance. I prefer to have a little more room for my computer mouse so instead of centering it under my monitor and keyboard, I moved it to the right as shown in the picture. I am using the black side of the mat but when I took a photograph, the window light gave it a grayish look in the picture but it is solid black while on my desk. The mat stays firmly in place and does not slide on my glass desktop. Despite being made of animal-free and recycled leather alternatives, it is designed to also serve as a writing pad. I placed a single sheet of notebook paper on the mat and had no difficulty writing on the paper. For $49.99 I feel it is a little too pricey for the average consumer however; I am very satisfied with the quality.

The Native Union Desk Mat is really nice. It is water-resistant and best of all, dual-sided so you always have two color options depending on your mood or environment. It comes rolled up and takes about 24 hours to fully flatten. I would recommend putting some books over the whole surface to make sure it gets completely flat. My laptop sits comfortably on the desk mat and it has just enough room for my mouse, assuming you set your laptop to the left of this. However, if you don’t want to use a mouse, you can definitely sit your laptop centered on the desk mat. The quality and look are all nice.

Hermoso tapete y color.

För drygt 600 kr för en musmatta kanske man bör förvänta sig underverk, men det får man inte här. Den är snygg, men hård och halkar gärna omkring och är inte så skön att vila händerna på. ”Lädret” påminner mer om den plast det faktiskt är. De i gummi och textil med sydda kanter.

テンキー付きMagic KeyboardとMagic Trackpadをぴったりくっつけて若干余裕ができる程度のサイズ感です。 黒を表にして使っていますが、敷いてあると引き締まったように見えるため気に入っています。 気になる部分としては中々巻いてあった癖が取れずに端が浮いている状態になることです。 使いはじめはしばらく重たいものを載せるなどして平にする必要があるかなと感じました。

Excellent quality. Can't fault it!

Die Schreibtischauflage kommt gerollt in einem Pappkarton, geschützt mit Seidenpapier. Das Material fühlt sich sehr hochwertig an, die Struktur erinnert an Leder, aber laut Hersteller ist die Matte vegan. Die Auflage liegt sofort nach dem Auspacken flach auf dem Tisch, sie hat also kaum einen "Memory-Effekt", wie man es oft bei gerollten Materialien sieht. Ein weiterer Punkt, der für die Hochwertigkeit des Matte spricht. Da beide Seiten verschiedene Farben haben, kann man frei entscheiden, ob man gerade Lust au etwas Farbe hat, oder lieber den neutraleren Beige-/Sand-Farbton sehen möchte. Die Größe der Auflage ist perfekt, um eine Tastatur mit Ziffernblock und eine Maus mit Mauspad nebeneinander darauf zu platzieren. Mit knapp 50€ hat die Auflage natürlich auch einen stolzen Preis, aber dafür erhält man auch sehr gut Qualität, mit der man über viele Jahre lang Freude hat.
