- Step one for today's video is get all this stuff
out of the way because I've got a big package for you.
Oh!
The LTTstore.com desk pads have finally arrived
and look at this.
There's even more.
Every single one of these boxes
is a different size of desk pad.
And I am going to unbox all of them today starting
with the smallest ones and working my way up
to the big chungess ones because we figured,
you know what nobody else does
is make literally every size of desk pad
so you can get it exactly the size you want it
for your setup, exactly.
I'm gonna sort them by width.
There it is.
14 sizes of desk pads.
Let's start with this one.
I tell ya, the differences
between some of these are pretty small.
In front of me I have all the ones that are 300 millimeters.
So, these are 30 centimeters in depth
and then they're either 900 millimeters, 1,000 millimeters,
so that's one meter, or 1,200 millimeters in width.
They've all got the same northern lights pattern.
Really vibrant printing on these things.
I'm actually extremely pleased
with how that turned out and they've all got
the same three and a half millimeter thickness.
This was a custom thickness
that we created for its balance of comfort.
So, it does have a little bit of a spongy feel to it,
but also precision because the spongier it is
the more you can see you're gonna have that slight shift
as you apply pressure to it and move it around.
There we go.
Oh man, this desk is like, oh! (boxes thudding)
I'm expecting these ones to be really popular
with you know, the Riley crowd, the minimalists out there.
So, let's have a look at our 900 mill
with a nice compact, 10-keyless keyboard.
Oh, do one, it's two minutes to lunch?
That's fine 'cause I can tell you more about the mouse pad.
So, they all have like a soft touch,
smooth micro-texture cloth.
It's optimized for speed,
but from our internal testing
you can see there's a full LTT video about this.
We found it is extremely accurate.
They all have the same natural rubber base.
It is extremely grippy.
Once you apply pressure to it
there's really not much risk of it moving around
on the table on its own.
Of course, I can move it if I really try to,
but it does a great job of sticking in place.
What if I had a bigger keyboard though?
I'm gonna need a bigger keyboard.
Here's all the 30 centimeter desk pads.
Now we'll move on to 40 centimeters
and I think Lloyd did such a good job
not just of the initial design,
but adapting it to all the different sizes.
So, you guys will see as we go on
he has made bespoke versions of it
for every single size of mouse pad.
It's crazy.
He's a crazy, mad lad.
There you go.
So, that's the difference?
40 centimeters is more like what I would expect kind of
your typical gamer to use.
That gives you a little bit more vertical space for mousing.
You'll notice actually that every single one
of the designs has a more blank area over on the right.
We didn't find that the high contrast lines
like between the snowflakes and the dark background caused
any cursor skipping on any of our test mice,
but it is something that we are aware of,
particularly for older mice.
So, we wanted to make sure
that the primary mousing area over here is free
from those kinds of high contrast transitions.
Ah, thanks Johno.
This 40 centimeter by one meter pad
is the one that I'm kind of expecting most people
with a 104 key keyboard
and like a medium sensitivity gaming preference to go for.
It's not gonna interfere too badly
with your monitor feet,
though if you are worried about that,
there's obviously the 30 centimeter version
and there's a pretty solid chance
that it's going to fit on your desk.
Of course, if you want all the mouse space
we do have a 1.2 meter version of this one as well.
So, if you have a multi-monitor setup
or an ultra wide or even a couple of ultra wides,
this right here is probably gonna be the way to go.
40 centimeters by 1.2 meters.
Oh yeah.
So, this is how much mouse space
you're gonna have on this guy.
Oh, I didn't even mention,
of course we've got a nice woven edge.
This has two effects.
So, number one is it keeps the mouse pad from fraying.
And number two, it's just a little more comfortable
to drag your wrist over when you've got
your wrist hanging over the edge of the pad.
Like if you like the edge of your most pad right
at the edge of your desk for aesthetics.
It's kind of a more sheeny type thread that we use
that makes it a little bit smoother on your wrist compared
to some of the more like rougher threads
that you can use here.
One thing to watch out for guys, there's nothing we
can really do about this is if you get the hook side
of a hook and loop fastener, AKA Velcro,
on this you're gonna have a bad time because that's part
of what makes it so soft is it's pretty easy
for that to grab onto.
So, watch out.
Let's move on to our next size.
(boxes thudding)
Ow!
Oh, I pinched my arm.
All right.
You might say she's a thick boy.
With our 50 centimeter deep mouse pads
these are more for the folks that are like, oh yeah,
I like my keyboard and mouse down here
at the bottom of my pad
and I also like to kind of put other things nicely
on my desk and I don't wanna scratch my desk or whatever.
This is more of like a desk pad,
but I sit at sort of like a narrower writing desk.
Still plenty of room for mousing,
especially if you've got a 10-keyless keyboard
which is only gonna be up to about here,
but definitely, definitely on the deeper side.
And, of course, we've got this as large
as 1.2 meters in width.
There we go.
And did I mention the best part yet guys?
No matter what size you decide you want,
the price is identical.
They are all 29.99 U.S. because just like
with the water bottles, we're looking at the pricing
of other mouse pads and we're going, really?
Like most of the cost is in the logistics
and the machine time of actually getting the thing made.
A little bit of extra cloth, a little bit of extra rubber,
not actually that big of a deal,
especially at the prices that most mouse pads are sold.
So, you should choose based on the size of your desk,
not based on what you can afford.
So, whether you want the smallest one
or whether you want the largest one, 29.99 U.S..
Of course, shipping will probably cost a little bit more
with the bigger ones because they are heavier.
And if you like to, you know, again
have a little bit of space over on the left,
over on the top of your mouse pad,
this isn't one of those ones
where I would align the keyboard with the left side.
Like, you'd be extremely uncomfortable typing like this,
but you just go kind of centered up here,
got all your space over here,
got all the mouse room you could possibly need over here.
Of course, they get even bigger.
How big will they go?
Did we make them too big, Brandon?
- [Brandon] No.
I haven't seen the one I'd use yet.
- You haven't seen the one you would use?
Truthfully we haven't made it to my size yet either.
These are the 60 centimeter deep desk pads.
And you can see they're already wider
than even a very large mousepad and that's the depth.
Now, we gettin' into cray cray town.
I can't even capture it's mammothness.
Here we're getting into you have a pretty decent sized desk
and you want this thing covering pretty much
the whole darn thing.
There you have it.
Those are the 60 millimeter thick ones.
If you got a wireless mouse
and a wireless keyboard for that matter,
you've got like a ton of storage space around your desk.
In fact, you could even pull it up a little bit like that.
You could totally put your entire monitor on this.
monitor is on the desk pad now.
Yup. That works.
But I think we can go deeper.
All right, we're going 70 centimeters, 70 centimeters.
This is as deep as plenty of desk pads are wide.
I mean that is a desk pad.
This is the 1.2 meter.
So, this is the gigantor.
You know what the craziest thing is?
I wouldn't even be surprised to see people be like,
yeah, you know what?
I love that one, but I want one that's maybe even wider.
Lots of people use a table as a desk though.
So, we wanted to make sure that we accounted for that.
Let's try to capture this in the overhead camera here.
So, there you go.
There's a top corner.
All right.
Now I'm going to just drag a bit up.
There you go.
That's the bottom corner of the 1.2 meter and that's it?
29.99.

Don't miss the video over on the Linus Tech Tips channel
where we go through everything that we went through
to finally deliver this thing.
I think you guys are going to absolutely love them though
and I hope you'll agree that they were worth the weight.
Get it?
The weight 'cause they're heavy.
Here we go.
Let's see if I can lift the whole thing.
Let no one claim that LTTstore.com desk pads
don't come in all sizes.
Oh!
Oh, it's so much static, ah!
