“We recently teamed up with a talented crew of kindergarten students to design the most blindingly colourful set yet.” – Plop
ePBT Ping‘s design evokes the minimalist iconography and soft-edged aesthetics of the modern desktop OS with a splash of vibrant colour, and is the latest keycap set from the talented folk down at Plop Labs.
Initially conceived as an homage to everyone’s favourite typeface, Wingdings; ePBT Ping has emerged from its months-long, caffeine-fueled metamorphosis brimming with pop and personality. This project features two OS-themed deskmats in your choice of Dark or Light backgrounds, designed to perfectly compliment your Ping keycaps!
“Ideas swim around in the pond of the internet, and sometimes we get swept by the wave of burnouts as we fish for inspiration.“
– Stellaidoscope, designerArt can be found everywhere – from visuals to music, code to keyboards. Everyone is creative in one way or another, and the Stay Creative deskmat series serves as a reminder to keep going, even when one feels as though there is nothing more to create.

marmoreal /märˈmôrēəl/ adj.
To be made of or likened to marble.Designed by Mies van der Rohe in 1928, built in 1929, demolished in 1930, and rebuilt in 1986, the Barcelona Pavilion is a legendary piece of Modernist architecture. GMK Marmoreal takes inspiration for its colours from the marble slabs that comprise much of the Pavilion’s interior.
GMK Marmoreal features four deskmat designs; choose from the picturesque Pavilion by Ulliam, the multilayered Inlay and minimalistic Line by Summerqm, or the classic Marble mat by set designer Pararch!
DSA PetriKeys features a rich palette of colours inspired by the kind of bioluminescent micro-organisms one might find in an eponymous petri dish.
DSA PetriKeys has two distinct deskmat options to choose from; the mellow Microbial pattern, or the colourful Cell Culture design!

Ramen.switch V2 goes for a more minimalist design than its predecessor, inspired by the clean aesthetic of blueprints. This deskmat design features the schematics of the Ramen.switch cart, including measurements scaled to the size of the deskmat displayed in millimetres and inches.
Ramen.switch V2 is available in six different colourways, each featuring a white or black background with a single accent colour. White variations are available with accents in black (Quartz), green (Matcha), or pink (Sakura), whereas deskmats with a black base can have accents in white (Carbon), blue (Cobalt), or orange (Tangerine).
Created by Reebes and their fiancée, KBM Love Detective is themed after a particular character – a favourite of the couple’s, from one of their favourite shows! The set’s primary colours were, of course, inspired by this mysterious Love Detective’s bright pink hair! Complimentary colours with warmer undertones were chosen to convey the warmth required of L.D.s in their trade, while still aiming to stay true to the source of the set’s inspiration, resulting in a “peachy coral-y soft orange-y colour” being used for the legends on the cream alphas and as the base colour for the set’s various accent keys.
Strike a myriad of poses with the Dance Time deskmat design or enjoy the repeating pattern featuring iconography from the novelties kit!

GMK Blot takes its name from blót, the Old Norse term for a blood sacrifice – a spectacle in which animals were ritually slaughtered, their blood poured into bowls, spread across stones, and sprayed upon nearby buildings and onlookers. The remains of the slaughtered animals would be cooked and feasted upon, accompanied by toasts of consecrated ale or mead to the glory of the gods. The blót was sacred to the Old Norse people, and was an important pillar of their religious practices; the sacrifices given as a gift to their deities in exchange for victory in battle, bountiful harvests, lasting peace, and many other types of favour.
The deskmats for GMK Blot are in keeping with the theme of this ancient custom. “Altar” depicts the Ægishjálmr – the “Helm of Awe” – a symbol said to grant a sphere of protection, often drawn upon the body or shield with blood to strike fear into the hearts of one’s enemies, as well as a pair of Jellinge-style goats being pierced by swords. “Blood Ritual” on the other hand shows a blót in progress, the keycap-shaped ritual stones soaked crimson with the blood of sacrifices, illustrated by stylish pixel art.
