Quick Answer
Setting up the Dr. Eggman Deskpad & Coaster Set takes about five minutes. Unpack both items, wipe your desk surface clean, position the deskpad with the printed side up, and place the coaster within easy reach. The micro-textured fabric and non-slip rubber base keep everything stable during long work sessions.
What Comes in the Box
The Sonic the Hedgehog: Dr. Eggman Deskpad & Coaster Set by Fanattik includes one deskpad and one coaster. The deskpad measures 800x300x3mm — large enough for a full-size keyboard, mouse, and a notebook. The coaster is 100mm in diameter, perfect for a standard mug or water bottle. Both pieces are made from the same micro-textured fabric with a non-slip rubber base.
Why the Non-Slip Base Matters
The rubber base on both the deskpad and coaster keeps them from sliding around during use. This is especially helpful if you tend to move your mouse quickly or if your desk surface is smooth. The reinforced edges on the deskpad also prevent fraying over time.
Step-by-Step Setup
- Unbox and Inspect: Remove the deskpad and coaster from the packaging. Check for any creases or damage. If the deskpad is slightly curled from shipping, lay it flat on your desk for a few hours to relax. Common mistake: Skipping the flattening step can leave the edges curled. Let it rest if needed.
- Clean Your Desk Surface: Wipe your desk with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust, crumbs, or residue. A clean surface helps the rubber base grip properly. Checkpoint: Even a few crumbs can cause the deskpad to lift. Use a microfiber cloth for best results.
- Position the Deskpad: Place the deskpad with the Dr. Eggman design facing up. Center it under your keyboard and mouse, leaving enough room for your mouse to move freely. The 800x300mm size fits most standard desks. Common mistake: Placing the deskpad too close to the desk edge can cause it to slide off. Keep at least 2 inches of desk space on each side.
- Place the Coaster: Set the coaster on the deskpad or on the desk surface next to it. The rubber base will grip both surfaces, but placing it directly on the desk gives a more stable spot for hot or cold drinks. Checkpoint: If you put the coaster on the deskpad, avoid sliding it around — the rubber base can pick up dust from the fabric.
- Arrange Your Gear: Set your keyboard, mouse, monitor, and any other accessories on the deskpad. The micro-textured fabric works well with optical and laser mice. Adjust the layout so your wrists rest comfortably on the pad. Common mistake: Overloading the deskpad with heavy items like a monitor stand can cause indentations. Stick to lightweight peripherals.
