Some deskmats are made to look good. This one is made to make you faster. The Shortcut Pro Max XL Deskmat takes a simple idea — keep the shortcuts you actually use right where you can see them — and stretches it across your entire desk. If you spend your day in documents, spreadsheets and slide decks, this might be the most quietly useful upgrade your setup gets all year.
A cheat sheet you never have to open
We all know the big shortcuts — copy, paste, undo. It’s the second tier that slips away: the ones that jump between worksheets, insert a comment, group objects, or format a cell without touching the mouse. The Shortcut Pro Max prints essential Windows, Word, Excel and PowerPoint shortcuts directly onto the mat, grouped so they’re easy to scan mid-task. Instead of alt-tabbing to a browser search or digging through menus, you glance down and keep moving. Over a week that’s dozens of tiny interruptions removed, and the shortcuts stop being a reference and start becoming muscle memory.
Built at full XL scale
This is the extended edition, sized to sit under both your keyboard and mouse with room to spare. That full-desk footprint does two things at once: it gives your mouse a single, seamless tracking surface from edge to edge, and it means the shortcut key is always in view rather than crammed into a corner. The smooth cloth top is stitched with a non-fraying edge, and a grippy rubber base keeps the whole mat planted even during fast, heavy mouse work. At ₹899 it’s a low-risk way to make a desk feel more deliberate and less cluttered.
Who it’s really for
If your job or study routine lives in Microsoft Office, this mat earns its place quickly. Students writing reports, analysts buried in spreadsheets, anyone assembling slide decks under deadline — the people who benefit most are the ones who’ve never sat down to memorize shortcuts but would happily use them if they didn’t have to think. It’s also a genuinely thoughtful gift for a new joiner or a friend setting up their first proper workstation, because it teaches good habits without anyone having to explain them.
Pairs well with a tidy setup
A shortcut mat rewards a clean desk. Route your cables behind the desk, keep only the keyboard and mouse on the surface, and the printed keys stay readable instead of disappearing under clutter. If you like the practical-but-clean look but want something more understated for a second desk, the plain Jet Black Deskmat gives you the same smooth surface without the print — a nice companion piece for a two-monitor or dual-desk setup.
The bottom line
Most desk upgrades are about how a space looks. The Shortcut Pro Max is about how it works. It sits quietly under your hands, saves you a few seconds hundreds of times a day, and slowly turns shortcuts you kept forgetting into ones you use without thinking. If you’ve been meaning to work a little faster without changing anything about your workflow, start here.
