So i have searched for large mousepads that can fill up my huge desk and there ARE mousepads that could fill it up but the problem is... they cost way too much.

 

do you guys have any idea how i could make my desk black? without painting it or something.

You could get a big mousepad and rest your arm on that so its not making direct contact with the vinyl wrap.

😳
Not that active so I may not respond.

Depends on the quality/type of the wrap. There are vinyl wraps which are slippy and there are ones which provide lot's of friction between your mouse and the desk. You would have to try to finde a material which matches your needs.

These wraps should be fairly durable, you could always replace it when it doesn't look good anymore.

Vinyl works, I'd probably do what you did and cut an mdf the same size as the table you're using
