Mionix Announces Colorful Desk Pads

btarunr · Jan 25, 2018

Mionix today announced its new Desk Pad, an enlarged mousepad that you can put practically your entire desktop on (including your keyboard, the mouse, and what have you. Available in five color prints - black (hamburger print), gray (shark fin print), yellow (french fries), cherry (doughnut), and icy blue (popsicle); the pads feature a washable cloth surface, mated to a 3 mm-thick rubber pad with an anti-skid bottom surface. The pads measure 900 mm x 440 mm. Available now, the Desk Pad is priced at €23.99.

Looks like Mionix used garment for underwear to make those. :shadedshu:

Jesus, these guys again...
I think they make some of the ugliest peripherals and accessories on the market.
An image of their pink mouse imprinted in my brain forever, and now.... hamburger pads :banghead:

It'll go perfect with this...

Mionix should be a solid, cold, calculated European company.

What the hell is this?!

Awesome, but I have my doubts about these pads handling food and drinks and machine washing for price of 23 eur. My kid has tested all cheapo pads I have and they don't do well with liquids

But who knows. I like the ice cream one

My Chinese Razer Goliathus clone (same thing, but pretty and no hamburgers) already went through 5-6 washing cycles. Seems OK for a $7 pad.
Spent $10 on another 700x300 pad last october - also fine after the first scrub and wash. Could've bought larger 900x440, but it is way too big for my desk.

Meme peripherals, the new rgb.

I wonder what's washable about a piece of cloth firmly attached to rubber.

Valantar · Jan 25, 2018

These are infinitely better than the glut of MOAH MACHO POWAAAAAAAHHHHH mouse pads out there. At least this has some humour to it and a feeling of playfulness, as opposed to a feeling of overcompensating overtly performative clichéd teenage stereotypical masculinity.

The cloth? And the (bottom) surface of the rubber? Unless the cloth's suffused with glue, it should be plenty washable. Most cloth mousepads are (though not many can withstand a visit to the washing machine).

It's like the preppiest girl you can image with a dog hanging out of her purse (a la Paris Hilton) came up with this and thought it was cute.

With hamburgers and donuts as the theme? That doesn't quite compute. If it were less "cartoon foodstuffs" and more "high-end fashion brands", you might be onto something. Although I suspect it would then have to be orange-brown leatherette.

I hadnt noticed that. Didnt bother enlarging the pic.

I think Mionix has certainly lost their mind.

I think you were thinking of wrong kind of girl.

I think they simply found themselves a niche. Not a nice you and I care about, but a nice nonetheless.

*niche.
True it's not a niche for us but there is a market for it. What I really meant was that just a few years back they were first ones to demo wireless charging for mice and now onto this stuff, it's quite a massive change in direction for a company.

francisw19 · Jan 25, 2018

Such a shame considering Mionix started out with minimalist, clean designs. They were a decent alternative for peripherals...and now they are this. :kookoo:

Well, most likely their previous direction wasn't working too well, otherwise they wouldn't have changed it.
And fixed

You might be onto something, although their current home page in general seems to be a stronger indicator than just that product list.

In the end I think it's pretty refreshing and rather brave in the otherwise stereotypically masculine gamer space to go out on a limb and *cough* "get fresh!!" This is not my style at all, but I welcome pretty much anything that brings some diversity to PC/gaming aesthetics. Then again; why is there a mackerel next to this mouse?

This'll definitely get them some attention, that's for sure.
