In this succinct video I’m talking about the felt desk pads I use in my office setup from a brand called Nordik. I bought these to complement my recent desk upgrades (like my Dell monitor), and the big headline is value: at $24.97 they don’t break the bank, and to me they get you most of what you’d want from a much more expensive felt pad without paying $140. I go over the main pros that actually matter in daily use. The sticky layer on the bottom is a great idea because it helps the pad grip the desk instead of sliding back and forth like other wool felt pads. Comfort is another win—my wrists are genuinely happier because the felt feels warm and cushioned compared to cold leather. And I love the 17-inch depth: it’s “set it and forget it,” with enough room that you’re not constantly adjusting the pad just to move your mouse. Then I cover the downsides: spills are going to be a problem, and I’m not excited about the next coffee accident because liquid will likely get stuck in the microfibers. Also, the edges can shed small wool particles at first and can fray if you keep rubbing them. Overall though, for about $25, I still think these are a comfortable deal if you use them as intended.
