A mousepad isn't just a piece of cloth on a desk. It's the working surface — steady, precise, quiet. We make it like it matters.

Craft.built, not sourced.

Self-developed03
Why we made our own

Most "artist" pads are stickers on someone else's stock. We spec the three things that actually touch the palm — cloth, base, grip film — ourselves.

What that means

Tighter pick on the weave, thicker polyurethane than the category average, and a plotter-cut silicone film that doesn't shift. Less compromise per square centimetre.

01 / 04Weave

Fabric.own-spec cloth.

Self-developed fine-weave cloth — tight enough that the artwork resolves into the fiber, not on top of it. Two specs, two feels: Ume runs fine-surface with a touch of bite (control); Vena runs extra-fine under surface treatment (speed).

02 / 04Print

Printing.proprietary precision gear.

In-house heat-transfer system built for resolution. Dye renders at the fiber itself — edge-sharp at any scale, no halo, no bleed. Every run is Pantone-matched against master references, so a reprint meets the first one.

03 / 04Base

Backing.polyurethane foam.

Own-spec PU base. Ume runs 4 mm soft, made to give under the wrist on stop-and-start. Vena runs 3 mm mid, made to sit low and hold the glide. The mat settles; the wrist doesn't fight the desk.

04 / 04Surface & Grip

Surface.treatment & grip film.

Vena's surface carries a three-stage pre-treatment — durability and glide past what stock cloth gives. Irys runs best-in-class silicone grip film: 0.25 ± 0.03 mm, micro-textured, low-residue on the rebound, plotter-cut for seventeen mouse bodies.

The brief

A warm voice in the same register as Vena — soft pink, bone, a bruised violet underneath. Painted by the same hand.

Why this one

Fine-weave cloth — neutral with a touch of bite. Soft PU base at 4 mm, designed to give under the wrist on stop-and-start. A control pad, not a sweep pad. Fine-stitched edge stays out of the way on hour three.

The brief

A single face, submerged. The palette is cool, almost cold — indigo and ultramarine, the colour a screen is rarely allowed to be.

Why this one

Fine-surfaced cloth with an irregular weave. Three stages of surface treatment push durability and glide past most mats on the market. A speed pad. 3 mm mid PU base, set low to hold the glide.

The brief

Every grip tape on the market compromises somewhere — polyurethane slips, silicone wears, textures scratch. We tuned ours until grip, durability, and feel all landed in one tape.

Why this one

The best-in-class grip film in the category. Own-spec silicone, 0.25 ± 0.03 mm, micro-textured to hold through sweat — thin enough that you still feel the mouse. Pantone-matched across every run. Plotter-cut once, so you don't hand-trim seventeen times.
