OK hear me out, I just got a new laptop and been using the shitty keyboard cover which it came it.
As it was kinda nasty I went looking for a new one, had my mouse mat on my left and though “uh if only u were the right size and a bit slimmer” and an idea just ringed my hears
“Laptop keyboard cover that could double duty as a mouse pad”
Soft surface and grippy edges so it wouldn’t slide, washable so u can get ridd of the nastyness of the tables u bring it to.
Currently I carry everyday my laptop, my mouse and the charger. If bringing a mousepad was as simple as removing the keyboard cover and putting it in my desk I would pay a couple bucks for it.
My question is :
- Does it exist? ( not that I am aware )
- Would it be cool or niche of mine?
- How to make a patent and make scam kickstart?

Keyboards covers are usually too thin to be a decent mousepad. Id look for a mousepad that fits into your current bag so probably something the size of the laptop itself
I’m using this one since 9 years in several 14 inch devices and it it serves me very well. Unfortunately you can’t buy that specific brand in amazon anymore. Bummer. https://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B0057UWXF8?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
Yap would be something like this
Sounds like a terrible idea - mouse pads get dirty, on both sides, and you’ll be transferring that dirt to the screen.
There’s really no safe way to clean a laptop screen - they generally have anti-reflective coatings which will be worn down when you clean them, and it won’t wear evenly it will be worse where you’ve cleaned off a particularly bad smudge. I try to be as careful as I can but still all my old laptop screens are pretty bad by the time I upgrade and I feel like your proposed idea would make that even worse.
What you can buy is a laptop bag/sleeve that doubles as a mouse pad. Some of them can also lift the screen up high for better ergonomics - though then you’d also need a portable keyboard as you definitely don’t want that up high if you’re worried about ergonomics (I recommend the Nuphy Air if you’re interested in a good portable keyboard).
