Desk mats can be made from many materials. Many opt for a leather desk mat which stylishly accommodates your keyboard and mouse for work. Leather not only provides smooth action, but great looks. Desky uses a vegan friendly PU leather for our leather desk mat and mouse pad products. Gaming mouse pads are more commonly made with a Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) and Mutispandex Fabric combination, which provides a firmer and smoother action.
