Edit: Boobmats found here: http://shop.doki.co/OTHER/ Assume they are in stock. Boobmats are in limited quantity. I will remove images as they get sold out. Taking orders on these until August 8th.
Orders for mousemats are closed. Taking orders on boobmats though.
As promised, I am selling mousemats once again to raise money to fund our operations.
Our financial situation is currently very stable, such that I am comfortable with upgrading our main distro server (nanoha) to a more powerful Xeon one with a 4 TB HDD and 250 Mbps bandwidth.
This year, I am offering a greater flexibility with the mousemats. Essentially, every mousemat is a custom mousemat! You can go on yande.re and use any of their images. For a number of shows, I have taken a selection of images from yande.re and put them here to make it easier for you to choose. I don’t have the time to select more images from other shows, so if you would like something from a show which I haven’t put up, you can simply browse yande.re and give me the ID of the image, which you can find in the image filename.
I am also offering mousemats in 3 sizes (dimensions are exact, picture above demonstrates their sizes):
- Normal (24cm x 20cm) – Image resolution should ideally be above 1200×1000
- Large (34.5cm x 30cm) – Image resolution should ideally be above 1725×1500
- X-Large (59cm x 40cm) – These are huge! Image resolution should ideally be above 2950×2000
Cushion covers are 40cm x 40cm, resolution should ideally be above 2000×2000. I’ve decided to do custom images for cushion covers too.
Bear in mind that some cropping will be necessary for certain images to maintain aspect ratio, so not all images may be suitable for use.
Unfortunately there does not seem to be any new boobmat designs, so I’ll simply stock some of the more popular ones from last time next week. Check back soon. I will also put up some cushion covers for sale then as well.
Check the rest of the post for further details.
Pricing:
Mousemat (Normal) = 7.00 GBP each
Mousemat (Large) = 12.00 GBP each
Mousemat (X-Large) = 17.00 GBP each
Boobmat = 17.00 GBP each
Cushion covers = 12.00 GBP each
Discount (excluding postage)
2 items = 5% off
3 items = 10% off
4 items = 15% off
5 items = 20% off
6 or more items = 25% off
Seedbox subscribers get additional discounts on top, depending on the total length of subscription.
Postage:
Once again all items are posted by airmail. Pricing will depend on total weight and destination. On average, posting 1 normal mousemat will cost between 1.50 GBP to 2.00 GBP. Obviously, the more items in the order, the postage becomes more economical.
Every item is individually wrapped, and the entire order is packaged strongly, like 2014.
Payment Methods:
Paypal is preferred. Be aware that Paypal may deduct a fee (like always), so you may have to send a little more.
If paying by Paypal is not an option (even paying as a Paypal guest), I also accept payment via IBAN (BIC/SWIFT).
A direct bank transfer is preferred if you’re in the UK, just to avoid transfer fees!
Currency:
I would prefer payment in GBP (UK Pounds). This is probably good news for most people since the value of GBP has fallen off a cliff (damn Brexit). If your Paypal is unable to convert your local currency into GBP before sending to me, I will accept USD or EUR (Google exchange rate applies). Do let me know in your email if you are unable to pay in GBP.
Procedure:
Send me an email at holo@doki.co stating the following:
– The image number (found in the filename on shop.doki.co or yande.re)
– Normal/Large/X-Large for mousemats
– Your method of payment
– Your address
I will then get back to you confirming your order.
I am taking orders until 1st August.
I will update this post with boobmats and cushions next Tuesday. Feel free to send in an order now and amend it with more items later.
Good luck on raising money!
I personally like the Kotori mat shown above. >◡<
Oh shit its back boys
btw Kotomi is there any ETA for shipping date?
This batch will get posted around August 10th and should arrive at all destinations within 1-2 weeks max.
I wish the eye catch from the most recent episode of New Game! was on that list.
>open the episode
>screencap the eye catch
>upload to yande.re
>pick the ID
You could just email me the screencap as an attachment. The resolution might be an issue but if you don’t care, I’d print it.
lol yande.re never thought i would hear that from other people. seeing you are doing custom ones i might finally order this time around.
OvO If you don’t mind me asking, how much does each size cost? And what is the payment method? 🙂
Oh and, It’s so cool that you can make mousepads! XD
Opps, just saw the rest of the post. >x< And have found the information needed. Thanks.
Anyone ever buy one of these? Don’t want to bother Kotomi with basic questions. Are these cloth, or plastic? Top layer I mean, and are they actually any good as a mousemat, not just for show?
I like the Sharkoon 1337 a lot, thin but very heavy antislip with fine cloth on top. Are these anything like that, cause then I’d stock up 🙂
The top layer is cloth, printed by dye sublimation.
The bottom layer is a couple of mm thick, made of a durable rubber. They don’t slip at all and are very durable.
I’ve still got one around from like 5 years ago and it’s still very much usable.
Thanks! Guess I’ll start looking for pictures then
Urk – first time on yande.re, not what I expected 🙂 99% H or pinup, little else. Any chance to just mail pictures with an order? That way there’s no problem cropping them too.
You can email me images, that’s fine. Just make sure their resolutions are adequate.

This image okay yet?
Go for it.
Very interested and I guess even better since I own a seedbox 😀 but now comes the hardest choice… WHAT IMAGE TO USE
Okay, I must be stupid. I don’t see where to send the payment and details;.; I read all of these posts, and the doki shop page linked above.
I shall point you in the right direction.
Look at → Procedure:
Hope that helped. :3
So I can’t seem to find Photo ID’s on Yande.re. I mean I see ID under statistics but if I paste that into search it goes nowhere.
Download the fullsize image from yande.re. Look at the filename – it should be “yandere number lots_of_tags.jpg”
Or you can email me the yande.re link to the image, I’ll find the ID myself.
So I guess when I email you if I chose Paypal you’ll reply back to me with the Email I should send it to.
That’s correct.
Also does it matter what orientation the image is?
No, doesn’t matter.
Who does the cropping? I have some images that will require cropping but done sensibly it shouldn’t matter. So a brief explanation on the email will suffice to do them right as per my preference. However if you do give us the exact dimensions (thus aspect ratio) then I much prefer to do it myself and I would think it will save much work for you (just use the images attached to the email instead of having to go to yande.re). Is this viable or should I just use the route of email explanation as to how I want the cropping?
Going by the mousemat sizes and recommended resolutions, the aspect ratios seem to be 6:5, 7:6 and 29:20
I’ll provide the exact sizes and ratios tomorrow and you can crop to your satisfaction.
Just remember that due to the printing process, a tiny bit of the borders will be lost, so allow extra room.
Exact sizes have been updated in the post.

I think Konachan would be a better source for images, not sure how copyright applies however.
Use Konachan if you want. I wouldn’t worry too much about copyright, lol.
Any rules for images, besides the obvious no loli H? Or can I just grab any piece of fanart with adequate resolution and send it in? :>
Yeah, common sense applies. You can send me any image of adequate resolution with obvious exceptions.
Hey Doki Fansubs, I just wanted to point out that raising funds using other people’s art could be considered questionable. I’ve been a long time fan of your releases, so I’m saying this with the best intentions. I’d suggest designing your own Doki-themed merch or even reaching out to some artists for permission to use their works. Then again, you’re not running a business, so your mousepad thing might be fine. Sort of a gray area, isn’t it? Anyway, just my two cents!
That’s why it’s only done very occasionally.
Last time we did this in 2014, next time will probably be 2018!
All money raised go back into paying for servers etc, so I don’t see an issue with it.
I’ve seen people do this the wrong way (not you guys), so I thought I’d leave a comment just in case. Good luck with the fundraising!
But that’s a great idea. I think I’ll design a bunch of mousemats with the Doki logo on it and add them to the shop, lol.
I’d like some… Other people might also be interested in them, so I’ll link them here for now! Got to be some other Tanuki Soft fans out there!
She has great breasts
Yup, that looks great. Their works don’t seem to get translations unfortunately…
I approve!
I was wondering what size are the cushion covers and if we can also choose whatever image from yande.re we want.
They are 40cm x 40cm and yes, you can also choose.
Your avatar is love! <3 Source?
Me? New Game! Chapter 1 page 1.
Of course I know it’s from New Game!, I love the manga, and love Aoba, I just didn’t know where that exact picture of her was from. Thanks! 🙂
no iDOLM@STER mousemats :'(
go to yandere or find any picture of idolmaster, send to doki. Now you your idolmaster mat.
That’s correct. Send me any image of your choice.
I live in not EU. Do you deliver? c:
I deliver internationally.
Ayt, thanks!
Not sure how much you pay now for the distro server, but I’d suggest taking a loot at online.net. They have served me so very well with cheap servers that are perfect for fileserving. Been using them for over a year and no issues that didn’t get resolved quickly.
Probably not as good as what we use.
Online.net are not as good for value as OVH. Where else could you get a Xeon 4TB server for 30 GBP?
Well, for raw storage they offer a new 2016 server (when it isn’t sold out). It is a Xeon 8TB for 40 euro. Slightly pricier than that, I suppose.
250 Mbps b/w?
No, it is 500Mbps, burstable up to 1Gbit. They will come to you if you go past 500 too much and ask that you do some shaping to prevent it. It does have a 60 eur setup fee, though. So unless you really need double the storage any time soon, it may or may not be a better investment. I don’t know how fast you use up the storage.
https://www.online.net/en/dedicated-server/dedibox-st8
Then again, no telling when it will be in stock.
Sounds more hassle than OVH. They have never whined about data use. Or anything for that matter.
Just a thought to throw out there; I can print designs on tshirts or hoodies. Not sure if this is something anyone would be interested in.
Well, third time’s the charm! Time to get myself some new pads.
Say, if I wanted to have an image printed on my mousemat that’s predominantly black , wouldn’t that mean it would eventually fade? Would you print the design on black cloth instead so it wouldn’t fade so much?
Having done some research on cloth printing, you can’t print a lighter colour on a darker colour without it looking weird.
But don’t worry about it fading unless you’ve got it directly in strong sunlight 24/7.
I’ve had some darker mousemats which still look great after 5 years.
“Until August 1st”
Does that mean we have to order before August 1st, or before the end of August 1st?
Extended til the end of August 3rd.
Is it too late to order some custom mats from yande.re and if not, what do I give you? The id number?
For example
Id: 98233
Id: 170857
And this one from the ones you copied over for Netoge.
351699
Normal or large would be fine depending on what the image quality suits better.
