Pros and cons
What we like
- Excel shortcut keys printed directly on the pad, always in view
- XL size covers both keyboard and mouse area
- Stitched edges resist fraying under daily desk use
- Non-slip base keeps it from sliding around
What may bother
- Needs a desk wide enough for a keyboard and mouse on one mat
- The cheat sheet covers Excel only, not other spreadsheet tools
- Printed shortcuts are of little use to someone who already knows them
Our verdict
83 / 100Perfect for a coworker or desk-bound spreadsheet lover who would enjoy a useful joke. Avoid it for someone with a small desk, a laptop-only setup or no Excel habit.
