Get a full desk mat.

Yes, go for a desk-sized mat — think 90x40 cm or bigger if your desk allows it. A tiny mousepad won’t cut it with an ultrawide monitor and multiple mice.

You’ve got a wide screen, so your mouse needs to travel that distance. Add a second (or third) mouse for work, gaming, or ergonomics, and you’re constantly bumping into the pad’s edge. A full desk mat gives each mouse its own lane without crowding.

It also protects your desk, looks clean, and you can slide your keyboard on top. Just measure your desk space first and buy something thick enough to not wrinkle. Cheap thin mats curl at the edges and annoy you forever.

Your wrist will thank you.
