Multiple editions of the extremely popular Aothia Leather Desk Mat are discounted for a limited time at Amazon. These budget-friendly desk mats–essentially oversized mouse pads–have been reviewed by over 71,000 Amazon customers and hold a 4.6/5-star average rating.
The 31.5″ x 15.7″ version is already cheap by default at $17, but Amazon’s deal drops the price to only $11.17. You can pick from a wide range of colors, including black, gray, brown, dark blue, off-white, and more.
$11 (was $17)
Aothia’s desk mats are made of waterproof leatherette (PU leather) with a suede backing designed to prevent it from moving when you’re working at your desk. It protects your desk from scratches, smudges, and spills while offering a smooth surface for your mouse to glide across. It has plenty of space for your keyboard and other items in your workspace.
Beyond its utility, a desk mat of this size is a good way to pull together a desktop–instead of all your accessories floating around haphazardly, it helps give some shape to an otherwise amorphous space.
If you want even more space, a few other dimensions are on sale, including 36- and 48-inch models. The 36 x 17-inch model only costs an extra $1.60. The cost spikes to $19.89 for the 48-inch version, but this one is large enough to cover the entire surface on many desks. Note that pricing can vary slightly by color.

Keyboard and Mouse Deals at Amazon
Consider pairing your new desk mat with a new keyboard or mouse. A bunch of gaming keyboards are on sale at Amazon, including 8BitDo’s transparent green Retro 87 Mechanical Keyboard. It’s licensed by Xbox and pays homage to one of the original Xbox console’s most popular special editions.
The Retro 87 is far from the only eye-catching mechanical keyboard on sale right now. An assortment of stylish wireless models from smaller brands like Aula and Epomaker are available for great prices. Many of the keyboards on sale have hot-swappable designs, allowing you to replace keycaps and make other adjustments over time. One of the most popular deals at the moment is actually a collaboration between the two aforementioned brands. The Epomaker x Aula F75 Gasket Mechanical Keyboard is on sale for only $56 (was $80). offers a compact 75% layout with LEOBOG Reaper switches. It connects wirelessly to your PC via 2.4GHz and Bluetooth.
As for gaming mice deals, numerous options from major brands like Logitech and Razer are on sale. Logitech’s G903 Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Mouse is discounted to $104 (was $140). This ambidextrous mouse has a 25K sensor and two mappable buttons on each side that can be modified with the removable side panels. The G903 can run for an impressive 140 hours with RGB lighting effects and up to 180 hours with backlighting turned off. For a budget pick, check out Logitech’s G203 Wired Gaming Mouse for only $23.59 (was $35).
On the non-gaming side, Logitech’s superb MX Master 3S Wireless Mouse is on sale for $80 (was $120). This mouse is regularly suggested as an alternative to Apple’s Magic Mouse for Mac users. There is a “Mac edition,” but the only tangible difference is that the Mac version is limited to Bluetooth unless you buy an adapter separately, whereas the discounted “PC edition” has Bluetooth and the Logi Bolt USB wireless receiver. So you’re paying $40 less and getting an accessory that costs $15 on its own.
