A Little Drama Never Hurt a Desk
Subtle has its place, but sometimes a desk needs a bit of drama. This design stacks vintage books beneath a black raven and skull, printed in rich, fade-resistant color on a surface built for accurate mouse tracking and a base that won't slide.
It's a favorite pick for dark academia and gothic-decor fans, available as a compact mouse pad for everyday use or an oversized desk mat that sets the tone for your whole desk.
What's the difference between the mouse pad and the desk mat? They're the same design, just different sizes. The mouse pad (9.25 x 7.75 in) is sized for everyday mouse use, while the desk mat (24 x 16 in) is large enough to cover your keyboard and mouse together for a full-desk look.
Is it safe for gaming mice and high-DPI sensors? Yes, the smooth polyester surface works well with optical, laser, and gaming mice alike.
Product Details
• Soft polyester surface with a smooth, precise glide for any mouse type
• Non-slip rubber backing keeps it securely in place on your desk
• Printed with vivid, fade-resistant sublimation inks, never a cheap sticker overlay
• Stitched edges resist fraying and curling over time
• Designed and custom-imprinted in our Henniker, New Hampshire studio
Size & Format Options
Available in two sizes: a classic Mouse Pad (9.25 x 7.75 in) for everyday desk use, or an oversized Desk Mat (24 x 16 in) that covers your full keyboard and mouse setup. Both use the same design, so pick whichever fits your space, or grab one of each. Don’t see the size you need? Email us and we’ll help you find the right fit.
Packaging & Shipping
Each mousepad or desk mat ships flat in a protective sleeve to prevent creasing in transit. It's printed and shipped from our Henniker, NH studio, and sent via USPS Ground or Priority with tracking provided on every order.
