Inspired by old-school workstations, MV Terminal R2 pays homage to the iconic orange or green displays and monospaced typefaces of PCs past through its text-only legends, with binary sublegends that add some secondary details and round out the set’s retro look.
MV Terminal R2 features a single deskmat design, a trio of orbs modelled after the exterior system status lights commonly found on vintage PC cases.

US: KeebfrontWe all know and love the quintessential rectangular deskmat, but doesn’t it strike you as a little dull? There’s nothing wrong with them, really, there’s just so many out there – where do we go from here?

“When I was young, I was able to visit a beautiful Asian country, Japan. I won’t forget the trucker hat I got from our vacation which says “MAKE LOVE, NOT WAR.” Coincidentally, the hat’s main color is hot red, with LOVE in white and WAR in black. I loved that hat, but I lost it after a few years and I couldn’t find that very same design again. But that’s okay, life moves forward. Still, that statement will resonate with me until the day I die. In this world of uncertainty, it is better to promote love and kindness.”
– Jaekeyed, designer
Inspired by this childhood memento and the board game Gomoku, Jaekeyed has partnered with Wuque Studio to create Aka Haiiro (lit. “red grey”), an all-side dye-sub PBT set with unique legends and broad compatibility – supporting ISO, Alice, 40s, 60s, full-size, and everything in between!
Aka Haiiro has a single deskmat available for purchase, titled “Breathe”. This mat features an attractive grid pattern broken up by gaps that outline the corners and centre of a 9×9 Go board, making it fully functional for playing up to four games of Go or Gomoku at the same time!

Transit depicts an office lady in an empty train car, quietly perusing her phone – a design that evokes the solitude of an early-morning commute with its deep purple hues and soft lighting. A blank billboard sits at the mat’s centre, awaiting a keyboard to adorn it and bring the whole composition together.
KAM Li’l Dragon deskmats take inspiration from the exiled dragon-child of the anime series Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid.
Her hair color inspired the top-down cream to purple gradient; her dress, the pink accent color; and her hair beads, the dark blue-grey legends. All colors in this project were selected from the Pantone Uncoated Formula Guide. In order to emulate her character in a typeface, Inverse Design Collective decided to go with all lowercase legends and a rounded sans serif, Proxima Nova Soft, for the Latin Alphas and Chihaya Jun for the Katakana and Hiragana Alphas.

DCS Blue Moon is made in the image of the lunar phenomenon, reflecting in a body of water. The cream white legends represent a full moon tinged by the teal tint of the modifier legends, all reflecting into the caps’ deep blue.
Value was a major consideration when this set was designed, striking a delicate balance of quality construction and flexible kitting; between the comprehensive base kit and optional extensions, DCS Blue Moon provides compatibility for virtually every layout. For those who wish to further personalize their board, the “Full Moon” alphas provide a nice contrast to the stock modifiers, and the packed Novelties kit contributes to the overall theme with amazing artwork created by Stellaidascope. Finally, this project features several metal artisan keycaps: a 1u cap from HIBI, as well as 1u and 2.25u caps that glow in the dark, courtesy of Keybee!

“For as long as I can remember, pixel art has always had special meaning to me. While working with pixels, the simplest form of digital art, I feel I am solving a puzzle. The constraints of a limited colour palette and the challenge of coming up with the perfect grid and alignment to achieve my artistic goals brings me immense enjoyment. I also feel a sense of nostalgia from my upbringing around early video game graphics.” – Retoid of BKM Caps
Combining the love of pixel art with their love of the mechanical keyboard hobby, Retoid utilized their favourite pixel art palette EDG32 (32-bit) which was used as a starting point for the original 32-Bit Build deskmat design. The Navy colourway is inspired by black and gold PCBs, Clay by the popular Olivia colourway, and Aged Olive by classic military-style electronics and avionics. Each colourway is accompanied by an accent colour reminescent of their favourite switch: the Holy Panda.
SK Dot Cat & Dog is a new addition to SwitchKeys’ Control series of deskmats, and features a specialized surface material that provides a superior mouse friction experience.

SA Ramses was designed to mimic the deep green of the Nile surrounded by sandy banks. This has since expanded into versions where the colours are inverted, or a single colour across the whole set. Avrocado has designed SA Ramses to have four different colour combinations: opt for the green on the mod keys rather than the main alpha keys, or just a full beige kit to match a unique board colour.
To add talent on talent, the lovely EURApsd has designed matching deskmats that capture the natural curves the Nile has carved out in the landscape over an unimaginable amount of time, with the statues of Bastet and Anubis looming in the distance.

This Phyrexia: All Will be One keycap set features custom legends inspired by the ominous language used by the Phyrexians in the MtG setting.

Magic: the Gathering is known for its excellent art, and these Phyrexia: All Will be One deskmats showcase a variety of art from cards both new and old!

GMK Alpine is a beautiful ode to the Swiss Alps, an unforgettable silhouette that those who call Switzerland home know all too well. Bregoli, GMK Alpine’s designer, summarizes their vision of the set beautifully:
Have you ever been in the Alps and wanted to take a piece of it home with you? GMK Alpine is a Keycap set revolving around the beautiful Swiss Alps.
In Switzerland not only do we enjoy hiking, skiing, climbing or touring the mountains but the many different mountain animals enjoy the peaceful life up there and the Farmers watch their livestock while the herd dog plays around in the grass.
The Swiss mountains are a major part of my culture and something I would love to share with you. Even during tragic times, the Swiss alps helped defend Switzerland and gave anyone a hard time invading this beautiful country. They served as not only a shield but also as a bunker to keep the whole population safe.
This is my way of capturing the magnificent alps.

From bringing positive reform post coup d’etat at the very end of the 18th century and being crowned Emperor, to a bloody military campaign that ended in exile, KAT Napoleonic sets out to explore the historic and artistic depictions of the Napoleonic Era.
NoPunIn10Did has done an incredible amount of work to bring KAT Napoleonic to life. Using a serif-based typeface inspired by Transitional and Neoclassical typefaces of the 19th century, as well as a combination of the uniform colours seen from the three empires that waged war against each other, the result is an authentic and classy looking-glass into a time well before ours.
Two deskmats are on offer in two different sizes: one design shows the size of Napoleon’s forces during his invasion of and subsequent retreat from Russian in 1812, and the other as an excerpt from Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace, wherein the characters discuss Napoleon, Australia, and politics of the early 19th century. As the aristocrats would supposedly switch between French and Russian in a single conversation, Tolstoy does the same.
SK Esqueletos is the first entry in SwitchKeys’ Control series, deskmats using a specialized surface material that has undergone extensive prototyping with consulting assistance from several Immortal-ranked Valorant players to achieve a superior mouse friction experience.
SK Esqueletos features a beautiful design by the extremely talented OneCreativeMind on its surface, and is available in two great styles. Muerte takes colour inspiration from the Mexican ‘Day of the Dead’ celebrations, while Infierno uses hellish greys, blacks and reds.
Introducing the Kolkrabba design deskmat series – Round 2.
Kolkrabba returns in three new colorways: Laserwave; bursting with color and intricate detail inspired by our most vibrant ocean life. Nocturn; inspired by the dark depths of the ocean where creatures lurk in the shadows. Finally, Blood King; dyed in the crimson aftermath of a struggle for dominion over the abyss. All three are brought to life by the illustrative nature of the cross-hatched artwork creating a backdrop for your desk that feels truly a part of the ocean deep.
