For custom mousepads, follow the customization process and review your size and design carefully before confirming your order.
Once your order has been dispatched, tracking information will be provided where available. Use the tracking information to follow the progress of your shipment.
Processing time depends on the product and whether customization or production is required. Any applicable processing or estimated delivery information will be shown during ordering or communicated after your order is confirmed.
Contact us as soon as possible if you need to make a change. We may be able to modify an order before it enters production or is dispatched, but changes cannot be guaranteed once processing has begun. Custom products may not be changed once production has started.
Contact us as soon as possible with your order number and the correct address. If your order has not yet been dispatched, we may be able to update it. Once an order has been handed over to the courier, changing the delivery address may no longer be possible.
Tracking updates can sometimes take time, particularly during customs processing, courier delays, holidays, or high-volume periods. If your order appears significantly delayed, contact our support team with your order number.

Your ideal mousepad depends on the type of surface and feel you prefer.
MGweave — our cloth mousepad range designed for a comfortable and familiar gaming surface. Available in different sizes, surface types, thicknesses, and edge finishes depending on the model.
MGweave Plus — designed for users looking for a faster glide and a thicker, more cushioned base.
MGweave Esports — performance-focused mousepads designed around competitive gaming, with specialized surfaces and premium base materials.
MG Glide — a hard glass mousepad designed for extremely smooth, fast, and consistent glide. Glass surfaces may feel significantly faster than traditional cloth mousepads.
MG Hide Series — a leather mousepad range designed around a premium look, comfortable surface, and clean desk aesthetic.
Speed surfaces provide a smoother, faster glide with less resistance. Best suited for players who prefer faster mouse movements, low friction, and quick tracking and flicks.
Control surfaces provide more resistance and stopping power. Best suited for players who prefer more controlled movements, greater stopping power, and precision-focused aiming.
Neither is universally better — the right choice depends on your preference and play style.
Consider:
Your available desk space
Mouse sensitivity
Keyboard placement
Whether you want only a mouse area or a full desk mat
Lower-sensitivity players generally benefit from having more horizontal mouse space.
A thicker mousepad generally provides more cushioning and may better absorb small imperfections on the desk. A thinner mousepad generally feels firmer and closer to the desk surface.
Overlocked: the edges are stitched to help protect them from fraying and provide additional durability.
Stitchless: provides a clean edge without traditional edge stitching.
Availability depends on the mousepad model, size, and thickness.
Cloth: balanced, comfortable, familiar, and suitable for a wide range of players.
Glass: very fast, firm, smooth, and highly consistent.
Leather: premium appearance and feel, suited to users looking for a different desk aesthetic and surface experience.
Yes. MGweave Freeform allows you to order mousepads in custom dimensions up to 2200 × 950 mm. Custom sizes are available, subject to our current production specifications.
Yes. You can use your own artwork, photograph, graphic, or design when creating a custom mousepad. You must have the necessary rights or permission to use any content you submit.
MG Design Studio allows you to prepare and customize your mousepad design before ordering. You can use it to position and preview your artwork on your selected mousepad size.
For the best print result:
Use the highest-resolution version of your image available
Avoid screenshots or heavily compressed images
Make sure important details are clear when viewed at the final mousepad size
Use high-quality original artwork whenever possible
Low-resolution images may appear blurry or pixelated when printed at a larger size.
The Safe Area indicates the area of your design where important elements, such as text, logos, faces, or key graphics, should be placed. Keep important elements inside this area to reduce the chance of them being affected by cutting or production tolerances.
Bleed is additional artwork extending beyond the final finished dimensions of the mousepad. This helps ensure the design reaches the edge without leaving unintended blank borders after cutting. Backgrounds, patterns, and images intended to reach the edge should extend through the bleed area.
Not always. Screens produce colors using light, while printing uses physical inks and materials. Differences in monitor settings, brightness, color profiles, printing, and mousepad material may cause slight differences between the digital preview and the finished product.
Contact us immediately if you need to make a change. If production has not started, we may be able to update your design. Once production begins, changes or cancellations may no longer be possible.
Custom products are non-returnable unless they arrive defective, damaged, or were produced incorrectly. See our Returns & warranty page for complete details.
Some mouse sensors may perform differently on glass surfaces. First:
Clean the glass surface
Clean the mouse sensor
Clean your mouse skates
Check for dust or debris underneath the mouse
Test the mouse on another surface
If tracking issues continue, your mouse sensor may have limited compatibility with glass surfaces.
A buildup of dust, skin oils, sweat, or dirt can change the feel of a cloth mousepad over time. Clean the mousepad according to our Care guide and allow it to dry completely before using it again.
Frequently used areas may accumulate more dirt and oils than the rest of the surface. Try cleaning the entire mousepad rather than only the affected area. Some gradual surface changes may also occur through normal use over time.
Check both the glass surface and your mouse skates for small particles of dirt or hard debris. Even tiny particles trapped between the mouse and the glass can increase noise or create an inconsistent glide. Clean both surfaces before continuing to use the mousepad.
If your mousepad was rolled during storage or shipping, allow it some time to settle naturally on a flat surface. Avoid aggressively bending the mousepad in the opposite direction.
Make sure:
Your desk is clean
The underside of the mousepad is clean
Both surfaces are completely dry
There is no dust or residue between the mousepad and desk
Cleaning methods depend on the material. See our Care guide for instructions for MGweave and cloth mousepads, MG Hide Series, and MG Glide.

Once approved, we will determine the most appropriate resolution (Replacement, Repair, or Refund). If a refund is approved, you may choose between original payment method refund or store credit.
5. Mousepad warranty
Minimalist Gaming mousepads do not include a separate extended warranty period. However, they are covered by our 7-day return and claim period if they arrive defective. Normal wear and changes that develop through regular use are not considered manufacturing defects.
6. Electronic product warranty
Warranty coverage for electronic products varies depending on the product and will be stated on the individual product page. Warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, accidents, liquid damage, or misuse.
Mousepad care guide
Proper care helps preserve the appearance, surface performance, and lifespan of your Minimalist Gaming mousepad. Different materials require different cleaning methods.
MGweave / cloth mousepads
Regular maintenance
Wipe the Surface: Use a clean, soft cloth lightly dampened with water to gently wipe the top.
Clean the Base: Wipe the rubber base with a damp cloth to remove dust.
Air Dry: Allow to dry completely before use.
How to wash your cloth mousepad
Soak: Submerge in lukewarm water (approx 30°C or below).
Apply Mild Cleaner: Use mild, neutral liquid soap. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals.
Clean Gently: Use your hands or a soft sponge. Avoid aggressive scrubbing.
Rinse Thoroughly: Remove all soap residue with clean water.
Remove Excess Water: Press gently with a dry towel. Do not wring or twist.
Air Dry: Lay flat in a shaded, well-ventilated area.
Avoid: Do not use hot water, bleach, fabric softener, or direct heat sources like hair dryers. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Hide Series / leather mousepads
Leather and faux leather require much gentler cleaning. Do not soak or wash under running water.
Remove Dust: Wipe with a dry microfiber cloth.
Damp Wipe: For light dirt, use a soft microfiber cloth lightly dampened with water.
Dry Immediately: Use a dry cloth to remove moisture and let air dry.
Stains: Clean spills immediately. Do not use alcohol, acetone, or abrasive sponges.
MG Glide / glass mousepads
Regular: Wipe with a dry microfiber cloth, or lightly damp cloth for fingerprints.
Deeper Clean: Use a small amount of mild liquid soap on a damp cloth, then wipe clean with a separate water-dampened cloth.
Important: Keep your mouse skates clean! Dust or sand trapped under skates can scratch the glass or ruin the glide.
