Maaaybe? Not really sure what finishes are possible with lino-esque products. Although I'd like it wipeable I want a bit of texture/friction for the mouse. I know some people use glass/alu for mouse surfaces (with little glass feet on the underside of the mouse in place of the pads to slide around better/last longer) but I actually move the mouse all of about 5cm in any direction so need a bit of friction to keep it in place. Currently use a 100cm x 50cm cordura pad but I'm pretty done with it.
This is my desk equivalent of switching to an induction hob.
CYOA
If you figure it out, do post an update - I want a surface between 4 and 8mm thick to attach to my desk with magnets so I can bury some stuff inside it. But the kicker is I want it to be wipeable for coffee spills and also double as a mouse surface.
So far I'm looking at valchromat and xylocleaf but the latter is tricky to get thin enough and the former I worry has a texture too much like sugar paper and won't wipe well or be useful as a mouse pad alternative.
