Is PU leather or felt better for a desk mat?

PU (faux) leather is water-resistant and wipes clean, which verified-purchase reviewers consistently praise for spill protection and a smooth mousing surface. Felt is softer and warmer underfoot for wrists but absorbs liquids and shows stains, and felt picks in this pool carry slightly lower average ratings. Choose PU for easy cleanup, felt for a softer tactile feel.
