a mouse pad?

[ReadyToGame]

Maybe just buy a large HyperX mouse pad and get a normal, large desk? (Get a large one from IKEA or something like that)

Just get the plank cut to size, add the legs and buy yourself a mouse pad.

As others said getting a nice mouse pad is the best solution since you will wear out the material that you cover or wrap your desk in. If you want a material that's decent wear and gives a different surface/look to your table Contact Paper for shelve/drawer liners work really well I've use some of that stuff on my shelves and it's pretty good. As for mouse tracking it seems ok but I would definitely think a good mouse pad will do much better.
