What is a Custom Mouse Pad?
A custom mouse pad is a personalised surface made to match your design, size, and functionality preferences. That could mean your own artwork, a company logo, your favourite anime character - or all three in one chaotic masterpiece.
But a good design deserves a quality canvas. At uncapd, we offer a premium build that’s more than skin-deep. All of our custom desk mats feature:
- A smooth, ultra-glide surface designed for precise mouse movement
- Anti-fray stitched edges to keep your design looking sharp
- Up to 4 mm thickness for maximum comfort and durability
- A non-slip rubber base that stays put no matter how intense your session gets
- A water-resistant coating to protect your design from spills, sweat, and daily wear
We don’t just print your artwork on any surface - we bring your design to life on one of the best gaming mouse pads on the market. Take a look at what our community has created so far - your desk could be next.

Where to Buy Custom Mouse Pads?
You can find custom mouse pads all over the internet - but not all providers are created equal. Some offer quick prints on cheap materials, while others hide quality trade-offs behind flashy interfaces. If you care about precision, durability, and genuine customer service, you need a provider that goes beyond the basics.
Here’s what sets us apart:
- No minimum order - Order just one, if that’s all you need.
- Free design mockups - We’ll show you what your mat will look like before you buy.
- Complimentary design help - We’ll fix alignment issues, clean up the resolution, and make your art print-ready, on the house.
- Size options galore - We offer 8 laser-cut sizes, fit for all kinds of desks.
- Fast, responsive support - We actually read and respond to your messages.
So while you could order a mouse pad off any big-box site, if you’re after something that actually performs, looks sharp, and lasts, we'd love to help bring your vision to life. Whether you're designing for a minimalist battlestation or a full-desk layout, there’s a fit for your setup at uncapd.
How to Make Your Own Mouse Pad?
Making a custom mouse pad might sound intimidating, but we’ve made the process smooth - even if you’re not a designer.
1. Pick your size
We offer multiple size options, from Small to XXXXXL desk mats, so you can go compact and minimal, or cover your entire desk in one shot. Not sure what size fits your setup? Please reach out - we’re happy to help.
2. Upload your artwork
With uncapd’s custom builder, you’re in full control. Upload your image, adjust sizing and placement, and preview it in real-time - all directly in-browser. We accept most graphics-related formats but for best results, we recommend a high-resolution PNG, JPEG, or PDF.
3. Complimentary design editing
This is where we really stand out. If your artwork isn’t perfectly aligned or print-ready, we’ll help you fix it - for free. Our in-house design team checks every submission and can make light edits (if you would like them) such as adjusting resolution, cropping for optimal placement, and cleaning up any quality issues before printing.
4. Production and shipping
Production typically takes 1–3 business days, after which your custom mat is shipped directly to you. No long waits, no confusion, just straightforward quality delivered.
Are Custom Mouse Pads Worth It?
If you spend hours a day at your desk, a mouse pad tailored to your preferences is more than just a visual upgrade - it’s a quality-of-life improvement. With superior glide, accurate tracking, and a personal touch, they’re one of the easiest and most affordable ways to level up your desk.
Additionally, uncapd pads aren’t mass-produced in bulk. Each one is printed to order, goes through a four‑stage quality check, and is performance-tested across multiple DPI ranges and user scenarios.
How To Clean a Custom Mouse Pad?
Even high-quality mouse pads need maintenance. Luckily, ours are built for real-life use and easy to clean.
To clean your pad:
- Use a gentle soap or mild detergent and lukewarm water
- Gently scrub with a soft cloth or sponge
- Air dry flat - don’t wring or twist
Our pads are built to survive repeated washing - the stitched edges won’t fray and the print won’t fade.
