Hands-down the best deskmats I've ever seen!
These deskmats look great, but I don't think I've seen any deskmats with a website watermarked on them. Please tell me that these are just for the renders, it'd be heartbreaking to have them on the final product... >

Hey, I respect your opinion on this. The rationale for.including is that it was a collaboration. Is it the name AND website? Ie if website was able.to be removed it would be acceptable? I don't know if it can for this round, but I can ask as even though they've sold a good number so far, it's a common complaint. >

Yeah, a styled name looks like a signature, small and unobtrusive would be fine. A website means I’ve got an ad sitting on my desk. >

OK. Fair comments. I suspect we can't change it as the product photos have been taken but it seems like this is a big deal that we've overlooked so if this is something we can change for future drops, we will. >

They’re awesome designs mate, I’m sure the people who’ve already bought don’t mind and you’ll be able to modify it for future rounds. Cheers :) >

Thank you >

The botany one looks awesome 👍 >

Thank you. DROP were really keen for that and I'm glad they went with it. Any other sci topics you think we should go for next time? >

Mycology! >

Second vote for mycology! >

Third vote for mycology! >

I forth mycology as well! >

Who googled "Atom" and took the image from the first result? >

You know, I debated with saying copyleft, knowing that MIT licensing does not require republishing source. However, I also know that including the text of the MIT License and attributing the source satisfies the requirements of attribution. So, maybe copyright infringement, but not necessarily. >

I wish the CS one had actual algorithmic runtimes or something like that. Looks like mostly diagrams without any context or meaning. I like the space one though, may order one of those. >

Thanls for the feedback. I got help from the CS community with what to include (I'm a chemistry teacher so it's not my area) but I appreciate we didn't hit everything. >

Where’s the chemistry one! I’d buy that and a biology one in a heartbeat lol >

Wasn't quote as popular in the initial discussion part to decide qhich to go with. Maybe one for the future >

FA has an epic amount of epsilon transitions 😎 >

Would buy if it didn't have the watermark/logo! >

Oh... Yeah, that's disappointing >

Cool deskmats! Wish drop had a EU based proxy because the import fees will almost double the price for me 😞 >

Yeah, it's not ideal, but  thanks for the kind words. >

You know having a high quality, big pad that resembles some complex (actual) scheme of an electrical or mechanical part would be really cool. >

Agree. I'll add it to the list for the next round. >

Oh really, that's amazing. Maybe a blueprint (actual blue background with millimeter paper) would raise even more people for it? >

Does the final product have that bottom left watermark with URL? >

EU stock ? >

We don't have a warehouse in the EU, but we do ship to the EU (and have a free shipping promo for orders over $50 to the EU this week). >

Would buy if it wasn't for the watermark. >

The watermark is an absolute deal breaker >

Does the space one have some obvious math mistakes like they did in the good old days. where they made mistakes to mislead the opponents in the space race. Like a metric to imperial mis-calculation >

I didn'rlt know that! That's a cool anecdote. I hope not - all images are from NASA archives so I'm hoping they got these ones correct. >

In that case they might contain some errors, since they should be historically accurate, thus said errors should be kept intact.
​
It was a nifty old fact that they did in the old days, since most knowledge of the old rockets are lost due time, those old ones even handmade where a lot more efficient than modern rockets. even reverse-engineering does not really help current day researchers, as just a small tap can alter the course of said rocket >

I write blogs on pieces of sci history - would you have any books/Web pages you could direct me too? This sounds fascinating l >

I saw it on some old programs from discovery regarding the space-race era of space travel.
​
not sure what it was called. it has been a few years. >

Are you actually using the Icon/Logo of the famous but recently discontinued code editor Atom? I mean... that's pixel perfect exactly the same lines as the Atom logo.
I guess, it shouldn't be a problem, because the whole Atom Project was open source and nobody cares about it anymore. I'm not sure about commercial use though. (well... technically the logo belongs to Github and Microsoft now) Just hope, you didn't pay some designer for the branding and got ripped off by someone copy pasting Open Source Logos.
I'm not sure what it is, but I think I've seen the rocket logo before too on some free Git tool? >

How's shipping to the EU? >

Not too sure. Sorry. >

These are absolutely gorgeous 😍
Will these be in stock after the pre-order shipment? I would really love to get one but I'm short of spending money right now :(
edit: formatting >

I'm not sure of I'm honest >

Ahh that's okay, they're still stunning. I'll buy one whenever you make more :) >

These look amazing but please get rid of the watermark >

Thank you. I'll see what we can do >

I want the space and computer science one 😦 >

I am lurking on this sub for a long time. I never ordered anything that fast. I love the design, and the cs one is just perfect. >

CS flashbacks with these charts. I cant remember what these are but I recognise the array/list chart >

Love the botany one, I think I’ll be picking it up. I do wish it was more jargony with terms only someone who’s taken a proper plant anatomy/morphology/taxonomy course would understand >

Those are gorgeous! >

Thank you! >

So glad to see these come to fruition! As a chemist myself I'm hopeful that we might run that one at some point in the future (need a matching desk mat for my notebook), but I still love these first three designs.  :) >

Will there also come a version fit for large corner desks? >

That's a really interesting question - I've only ever seen rectangular desk mats in the mech keys world, but corner desks are a thing so it makes sense! Would you prefer that it includes a slanted wedge, or right angle on the inside (like an L)? If you have examples of what format/size you'd like to see, please share. >

Nice! These are so cool.
I've found I like desk mats so much. I have more that I have desks! lol >

A little sad that there is no chemistry one. My matching mug would love to be next to a chemistry deskmat >

This is absolute perfect timing. Was about to pull the trigger on the rainy day deskmat but just saw that space exploration mat and chef's kiss >

I'd get the Space Exploration one, but hoping for the actual deskpad not to have this watermark. >

Do a cell therapy/dna  one >

There was a genetics/evolution one but it wasn't too popular in the initial poll to decide the final designs unfortunately >

can't wait for that rocket one, all of those desk mats looks wonderful! >

👏👏👏👍👍👍 >

I love how every time I buy a new desk mat I find a better one one... I'll be taking that Botany pad tyvm. >

Hope you enjoy it! >

I think I know you, didnt you design some notebooks? >

Hello! Yes, several science ones >

That Botany one is beautiful. >

Thank you >

The space one is freaking sick 👍👍 >

Thank you! Once you zoom in there's loads of really cool bits of space history on there. Katherine Johnson equations for one. >

This really sucks...
Because I have to get all three of them. >

Haha >

these looks awesome, might have to get that computer science one >

Thank you. Let me know of you've any questions >

Have you asked around (on some mech keyboard discords for example) on experiences with working with drop? Because from what I read Drop regularly screws over their creators. I'm not an authorative voice on this but my advice would be to at least check :) >

Might get the computer science to match a future keyboard build. Any plans for adding runtime to it or a physics one? >

We have a physics one good to go. It's just seeing how popular this is. By run time you mean how long it stays on drop? >

I was thinking more of how long something was running for. Can I see a preview of the physics one if possible? >

Cs one is good, could have been better i feel >

Thanks for the feedback >

Suggestion: add more stuff related to software engineering, like system design.(i.e. Cache, Load Balancing, Microservices etc...)
Here mostly you have added Data structure & Algorithmic part only. >

Space and computer are great! Any hope for an eu shop? >

Not yet I'm afraid. Sorry! >

A real pity, I hope you'll find a way to sell them here too >

These look great! Personal fav would be the Astronomy one for being very neutral and easy to match. Also was scrolling and saw these interesting notebooks on r/FountainPens, funny enough. Cool stuff. >

Thanks. Yes, I bumped into the redditor who posted at a tradeshow today. Small world! >

Your notebooks look sick too, any chance of a Biology(Molecular/Cellular) one? >

Thanks. I have neuroscience next for bio. Possibly June/July for another bio one. >

Thank you for making a dent in my bank balance. >

😄 >

Your designs are awesome! Just bought one. >

Thank you. Which did you go for? >

Space >

They look great and I'd be in the market for a desk mat, but unfortunately, Drop is unavailable where I live... >

Thank you but sorry to hear that >

I love the Space and CS one so much and would have bought both if it wasn’t for that tacky name/URL included on the mat!
