    Today we are checking out a couple accessories from a company called Grovemade. Now Grovemade and I partnered together in the past for a variety of accessories to spice up the creative vibes on my desk ( • Minimalist Desk Access... ); however, you may recall in that video that I mentioned some items were missing from that shipment.
    That brings us to today's video. Here is the second half of that shipment, which includes the Grovemade Task Knife and Grovemade Matte Desk Pads (Grovemade Matte Desk Mats). These things are simply stunning! They're made of natural linoleum is made from linseed oil, pine rosin, wood flour, and calcium carbonate-They're durable, antistatic, resists fingerprinting, and is totally natural. Yes I know, I said they were leather... And I totally thought they were due to the grain-like pattern on the topside. In this case, I stand corrected and they are in fact linoleum; however, Grovemade does offer other desk mats made of leather, felt, and more! All their desk pads feature a cork base for durability, scratch resistance, and stabilization for all surfaces.
    Series, you owe it to yourself to check these out if you are looking to add some extra flair to your setup and you're finally ready to ditch those gaming-oriented mouse mats for something a little more mature, minimalist, and premium.
    I hope this video answered some of your questions like:
    Are Grovemade desk mats good?

    Affordable minimalist desk accessories
    Are Grovemade products any good?

      @@qwazyd0gg Well my experience is based around their deskpads and I tried them twice and both times just had to toss them out because they would warp. I said oh maybe if I buy the more expensive pad the quality would be better...lol...played myself.These were the leather pads. Complete shame tbh. Especially at the price point. And zero communication from grovemade themselves after contacting them.

    I wish I could help people give reviews.
    I have not heard a single measurement!!!
    Its the first thing people need before you address quality.
    1. What are measurements of the mat?
    2. What are measurements of the desk its sitting on?
    3. What fits within the space of the mat?

    • @qwazyd0gg
      @qwazyd0gg  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      1. 26.5inch x 49inch
      2. 28inch x 55inch
      3. Short answer… everything that fit on my desk. This keeps my desk protected from coffee/drink rings, scratches, dents, and keeps it comfortable. Currently using it everyday as my home office desk with a laptop riser, keyboard, mouse, MacBook, iPad, device chargers, power cube, notebook, and embarrassing amount of junk. Previous to this it was my glare free review table mat that kept shine and hot spots to a minimum from studio lights and provided a clean and uniform backdrop.
      Hope that helps.

      They’re nice and matte so nothing stays around for any more than a couple seconds. If I forget to grab one of my cup holders, I can easily wipe down the surface with no rings left behind either.

    Hey, nice review. But as you said you really need a light in the front to show the items. You say the matte desk mat has some texture to it and you use a mouse mat on top of it, so I was wondering, do you think it is possible to use the mat as a mouse pad for competitive gaming? I always used frabic mouse pads without looking too much into it, I have no idea how different material could affect the mouse movement.

    • @qwazyd0gg
      @qwazyd0gg  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      For competitive gaming I would say no. I use my largest desk pad without an additional mouse pad and tracking isn’t terrible, but it’s not quite gaming accurate.

    Please answer this straight for me. I've been trying to get an answer out of Grovemade but they're too general. Which is better for writing on a single piece of paper with pen, the leather or the matte?? I do a lot of letter writing and I don't want it damaged in a day. Please be truthful and explain specifically in your answer. Please, please answer asap as I'm going crazy trying to decide which to order. I had to return a (cheap) leather pad because it made my pen drag and my hand felt strained, my writing got messed up). But please give me some help here: (Their company implies online that their leather is best for writing, but I got a personal email from C. that says the matte is the best for writing as it it tougher. Help! Going nuts.) Thanks. Your video was great BTW. Thank you,
