Goku mouse pads for the desk

Our Goku mouse pads and desk mats carry art inspired by Son Goku, the cheerful, endlessly hungry Saiyan at the heart of Dragon Ball, printed edge to edge on 3 mm neoprene with a fabric top, a non-slip base and stitched edges. Sizes start at 11.8″ × 15.7″ (30 × 40 cm) and climb to 23.6″ × 47.2″ (60 × 120 cm); whichever you pick, the pad is printed once your order is placed, never pulled from a warehouse shelf.

This page sits under Dragon Ball and gathers the designs built around Goku himself. Vegeta, Piccolo, Gohan, Frieza, Shenron, the Dragon Balls and the rest of the series are on the Dragon Ball page.

One hero, many hair colors

Few characters change color as often as Goku, and every transformation gives a desk a different palette.

• Base form: spiky black hair and the orange gi, warm and familiar, for a wooden or light desk.
• Super Saiyan: golden hair, teal-green eyes and a blazing aura, for a black desk with warm or yellow light.
• Super Saiyan 3: gold hair down to the waist and no eyebrows, the most dramatic silhouette of Z, for a long mat.
• Super Saiyan 4: red fur, black hair and gold eyes from GT, for a red-and-black gaming setup.
• Super Saiyan God: slim red hair and a red aura, introduced in Battle of Gods in 2013, for red lighting.
• Super Saiyan Blue: bright blue hair and a calm blue aura, first seen in Resurrection 'F' in 2015, for a cool, dark desk.
• Ultra Instinct: silver hair and silver eyes, for white lighting and monochrome peripherals.

If you aren't sure which version someone likes, the form they talk about tells you their era: gold for Z, red fur for GT, blue and silver for Super.

Ultra Instinct on a dark desk

Ultra Instinct appears during the Tournament of Power in Dragon Ball Super, a state in which Goku's body moves and dodges on its own, without waiting for his thoughts. Its first stage keeps his hair black with a silver glint in the eyes; the mastered form turns his hair and eyes fully silver inside a pale, flickering aura. It is the most restrained of his transformations, almost no color at all, and that restraint suits a desk. Silver and white on black sit easily next to black or white peripherals, and under cool white lighting the aura seems to glow from the mat itself.

On XL, 15.7″ × 35.4″ (40 × 90 cm), or larger, a full-figure Ultra Instinct design has space for the aura to trail behind him, with the keyboard covering only empty sky.

Goku Black and rosé pink

Goku Black isn't Goku at all. In Dragon Ball Super's Future Trunks arc, a villain takes over Goku's body and wears it in a dark gray gi with a single green Potara earring, and his transformation, Super Saiyan Rosé, turns his hair a soft, glowing pink. Black, charcoal and rose make an unusual, striking combination: darker than any other Goku look, yet softer in color. It suits a black desk with pink or magenta lighting, or a setup where pink peripherals need something serious to sit on.

The gi and its symbols

Goku's training gi is an orange top and trousers over a blue undershirt, with blue wristbands, a blue sash and blue boots. On his chest and back, it carries a kanji in a circle. As a student of Master Roshi, he wears 亀, "turtle," for the Turtle School; after training with King Kai in the afterlife, he switches to 界, the symbol of King Kai. A design built on that gi alone, a folded orange top with the kanji in its circle, is a minimal way to carry Goku on a work desk, and the orange-and-blue pairing matches any setup that already uses those two colors.

Kid Goku, tail and all

The first Dragon Ball series starts with a small boy from the mountains: a monkey tail, the extendable Power Pole on his back and the golden Flying Nimbus cloud, which only the pure of heart can ride. He keeps the four-star Dragon Ball as a memento of Grandpa Gohan, the man who raised him. Kid Goku designs are light, round and playful, built on blue skies, desert roads and that golden cloud. They suit a younger fan's desk or a pastel setup, and a Nimbus cloud on its own is a sweet, simple design for the small pad.

A Kamehameha along the mat

Goku copies Master Roshi's Kamehameha after seeing it only once, and it becomes his signature move: hands drawn back to one side, then a blue-white beam thrown forward. It is a horizontal action, and it lines up with the shape of a long mat. On the M, 11.8″ × 27.6″ (30 × 70 cm), or the L, 11.8″ × 31.5″ (30 × 80 cm), put Goku at the left end and let the beam run toward the mouse, so the pose and the blast both stay visible around a compact keyboard. Left-handed players can choose a mirrored composition, with the beam ending under the left hand.

The Spirit Bomb above the keyboard

The Spirit Bomb works the other way round. Goku raises his hands and gathers energy from every living thing around him into a huge sphere overhead, so the composition is vertical: a small figure below, a glowing ball above. That shape suits the deep sizes. On XXL, 23.6″ × 35.4″ (60 × 90 cm), the sphere can sit in the space behind the keyboard, in clear view, while the figure stands below it near the front edge, beside your mouse hand.

Two fingers and a red glow

Some of Goku's techniques are best shown as gestures. Instant Transmission, learned from the Yardrats after Namek, is two fingers raised to the forehead before he vanishes. Kaio-ken, learned from King Kai, wraps him in a red aura that multiplies his strength at a painful cost. A gesture is small and needs no background, so it works on the 11.8″ × 15.7″ (30 × 40 cm) pad: two fingers against the forehead in the top corner, or a red aura outline on black.

Kakarot, the Saiyan name

Goku was born on Planet Vegeta as Kakarot, son of the Saiyan warrior Bardock, and sent to Earth as a baby. Vegeta insists on calling him by that name, and Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, the 2020 action RPG, used it as its title. Designs that lean on his Saiyan origins, armor, a red planet, a space pod, have a harder, science-fiction look than the martial-arts art of the rest of his story. They suit a dark gaming desk with red lighting.

Goku the father

Behind the fights, Goku is also a husband to Chi-Chi and a father to Gohan and Goten, and much of the series' warmth comes from those scenes. Family designs, Goku with his sons on a fishing trip or a hillside, are among the gentlest Goku art. They suit a family desk, a dad who grew up on Z, or a parent sharing a computer with a child who is just discovering the series.

Food, naps and a big grin

Goku eats enormous amounts, falls asleep anywhere and greets the scariest enemies with a grin and a request for a fight. Comic designs, a towering stack of empty bowls or a chibi Goku mid-meal, are a light alternative to the battle art. They are funny next to a snack drawer, and on a small pad they keep the desk cheerful rather than intense.

Goku and Vegeta, back to back

Goku's oldest rivalry is with Vegeta, and the classic way to draw them is back to back, two auras flaring in different colors. That composition is made for a desk mat. Put Goku's orange or gold at one end and Vegeta's blue at the other, and the keyboard lands on the seam where the auras meet. The split also lets one design match two kinds of lighting: warm on one side, cool on the other. It suits XL, 15.7″ × 35.4″ (40 × 90 cm), or larger, and it is a natural gift for two friends who still argue about which of them is stronger.

Training at every scale

Goku's story is one long training montage: climbing Korin Tower as a boy, running Snake Way to reach King Kai's tiny planet with its heavy gravity, wearing weighted clothing under his gi and training at a hundred times Earth's gravity on the ship to Namek. Training designs, Goku mid-push-up, balancing on one finger or running along a winding road, have an energy that suits a desk where you put in long hours. They also make a quiet joke for anyone who uses the same desk for workouts, study plans or grinding a hard game.

For gaming and for work

A Goku pad performs like any of our pads. The fabric top gives a smooth, consistent glide, the non-slip base keeps the mat still under quick mouse movements, and the stitched edges stop the cloth from fraying where your forearm rests. For a desk that is used for games in the evening and work during the day, Ultra Instinct silver or a plain gi design is calm enough for a video call, while Super Saiyan gold is there when the work is done.

Sizes for a Goku desk

Look at a design's product page to see which sizes it comes in. These are the ones that suit Goku art.

Mouse only	S, 11.8″ × 15.7″ (30 × 40 cm)	The Flying Nimbus or Instant Transmission
Laptop or study desk	TCG Mat, 14″ × 24″ (35.5 × 61 cm)	A gi with the King Kai kanji
Compact keyboard	M, 11.8″ × 27.6″ (30 × 70 cm)	A Kamehameha running end to end
Keyboard and mouse	XL, 15.7″ × 35.4″ (40 × 90 cm)	Ultra Instinct with a trailing aura
Deep desk	XXL, 23.6″ × 35.4″ (60 × 90 cm)	The Spirit Bomb above the keyboard
Full desk	4XL, 23.6″ × 47.2″ (60 × 120 cm)	Every transformation side by side

If your desk is long and fairly shallow, L, 11.8″ × 31.5″ (30 × 80 cm), and 3XL, 19.7″ × 39.4″ (50 × 100 cm), are made for it.

Gifts for a Goku fan

A Goku pad suits the friend who still shouts "Kamehameha" at the TV, a sibling who mains him in FighterZ or a kid who just met him in Daima. Pick the form they talk about, gold, blue or silver, and if you don't know their desk, the XL, 15.7″ × 35.4″ (40 × 90 cm), leaves room for a keyboard and mouse on nearly any setup.

Your pad is made in 1–3 business days and sent from Turkey; most US orders arrive within 2–5 business days of shipping.

Keeping the orange bright

A desk pad picks up dust, crumbs and the oil from your palm, so wipe it down with a damp cloth whenever it starts to look dull. For a proper clean, wash it by hand in lukewarm water and a little mild soap, rinse it well, then roll it inside a towel and press firmly to draw the water out. Unroll it and let it dry lying flat. It should never go in a washing machine, a dryer or under an iron, and with that care the fade-resistant print keeps Super Saiyan gold from turning dull.
