What materials make up the Grovemade Matte Desk Pad?
The pad combines a 3.5 mm natural-linoleum surface with a natural-cork backing. The linoleum formulation uses linseed oil, pine rosin, wood flour, and calcium carbonate.
What sizes does the Grovemade Matte Desk Pad come in?
It is offered in five footprints: Small 11 × 24.75 in, Medium 11.5 × 38 in, Medium Plus 15.75 × 38 in, Large 26 × 38.5 in, and Extra Large 26.5 × 49 in.
Can I write on the pad and use an optical mouse?
Yes. The product listing identifies the surface as writable, anti-static, and compatible with optical mice. A hands-on review also describes the firm surface as suitable for writing directly on it.
Will the Matte Desk Pad lie flat immediately after shipping?
Not necessarily. A review reports that the pad ships rolled and may show edge bumps for the first couple of days; it took a few days to settle flat on the desk.
How does the cork backing affect the pad's feel?
The cork layer adds padding and give beneath the linoleum. The reviewer found it more comfortable than a hard desktop for extended typing, while the solid top remained suitable for direct writing.
Does the Matte Desk Pad resist fingerprints?
The product listing describes its matte linoleum as fingerprint-resistant and anti-static. A review likewise reports resistance to fingerprints and oils; this describes surface behavior, not a promise that the pad cannot be marked.
