NovelKeys: MiTo Mitowave Desk/Mouse Mat

Designed by MiTo—who you may know from keycap sets like Laser, Canvas, and Pulse—this desk mat is carefully designed from head to toe. Made with a cloth top and stitched edges, it’ll hold up when gaming or working long hours. The rubber base will keep it from sliding around on your desktop, and the smooth top is great for all kinds of mouses. The design is a combination of text, graphics, and advertisements to show MiTo’s creative taste for irony. Of course, if you need a helping hand, feel free to call the hotline.

The NovelKeys name was inspired by founder Mike Sickler’s wife. When checking out a set of novelty keycaps from SA Camping, Mrs. Sickler thought it’d be clever to call those particular keycaps "Novelkeys." Eventually, the joke stuck and became the name of the company. NovelKeys originally started with mechanical keyboard–related products made with 3D-printing techniques. Since then, the company has worked with Kaihua Kailh to design exclusive switches in different variations of weight/feedback to satisfy mech keys enthusiasts around the globe.
