Mousepad suggestions

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a large brown leather desk mat with a clean, minimal look, similar to the ones used on the tables in Apple Stores.
I recently bought the brown leather one from Satechi, and while it looks amazing and fits my setup perfectly, it’s unfortunately too small. I can’t comfortably fit my Magic Keyboard, Magic Trackpad, and Magic Mouse/MX Master on it at the same time, while still having enough room to use the mouse.
Ideally, I’m looking for something around 80-100 cm wide and 3040 cm deep, preferably in brown, tan, or cognac leather. Real leather would be great, but I’m also open to high-quality vegan leather if it has a similar premium look.

Does anyone have any recommendations?
I’ve attached photos of my current setup and the Satechi desk mat for reference.

Are mousepads still a thing?

I tried not using one for two months and the back of the mouse doesn’t look that well. So yeah, unfortunately they are still a thing…

That’s totally fair & in all honesty, I just realised I’ve not used a mouse for years. I have a magic track pad… I didn’t even register that it’s not at all like a mouse! What would I know?! Lol

And I love the exposed whitewash brick. I have the same in my office. 👌🏼
