At 900 x 400mm the AULA MP-XL holds a laptop on one side and a mouse on the other, the way AULA pictures it. The anti-slip rubber base keeps it from creeping as you type, and the 3mm fabric rolls up when the laptop travels. Evetech carries the black pad.
A laptop on a bare desk works, but it is rarely comfortable. The mouse skids on smooth surfaces, the laptop slides when you type, and the desk takes scratches from both. An extended pad gives the whole setup a single base to work on. At 900 x 400mm, the AULA MP-XL is big enough to be a desk pad for a laptop and mouse together, and this guide covers how to lay it out.
The AULA MP-XL's 900 x 400mm surface holds a laptop on one side and a mouse on the other. Its anti-slip rubber base keeps it from creeping as you type, the Speed-type polyester fabric gives the mouse a fast glide, and the 3mm pad rolls up when the laptop travels. It is black with a blue AULA graphic. Evetech sells the MP-XL for R129.
Most 15-inch laptops are roughly 350 to 360mm wide, and many 14-inch models are smaller. On a 900mm pad, that leaves well over 500mm for the mouse, which is more room than most people will ever use. Even a larger 16- or 17-inch machine leaves a generous mouse lane.
Depth is comfortable too. The pad is 400mm from front to back, and most laptops are around 240 to 260mm deep, so you can sit the laptop back a little and still rest your wrists on the fabric in front.
Both work. Placing the laptop on the pad gives it a soft, grippy base that protects the desk and stops it sliding. If your laptop runs warm and you prefer it on a hard surface, sit it beside the pad and use the full 900mm width for the mouse and any accessories.
Put the laptop on the left portion of the pad and the mouse on the right, or the reverse for left-handers. The whole setup stays on one surface, and nothing slides.
A laptop stand lifts the screen to a better height, but it usually means adding an external keyboard. In that case, put the stand behind the pad or at its back edge, the keyboard at the front, and the mouse beside it. The MP-XL's size makes this work neatly.
There is plenty of room. A laptop on a stand behind the pad, a keyboard of almost any size on the fabric and a mouse beside it all fit within 900 x 400mm. Most full-size keyboards are around 430 to 470mm wide, leaving a comfortable mouse lane on the other side.
A laptop's trackpad is fine for short tasks, but a mouse is faster and more precise for anything longer. On the MP-XL, the mouse gets a consistent Speed-type fabric surface rated for optical and laser sensors, so it tracks cleanly across the whole pad. On a glossy or glass desk, a mouse can struggle to track at all, so a pad solves a real problem.
The anti-slip rubber base matters for a laptop setup specifically, because typing on a laptop sitting on the pad pushes it around. The rubber grips the desk so the pad, and everything on it, stays put.
The MP-XL is only 3mm thick and rolls up for transport and storage, then lies flat again without losing its shape. That makes it practical to carry between home and a campus desk, a shared office or a study space.
A few tips for carrying it:
The stitched edges help it survive the trips, since they stop the border from fraying where it gets handled most. The fabric surface is easy to clean with a light wipe.
