Not a huge discount, but thumbs up just because I didn't know this product existed, but it seems awesome.

I did a little research. Here's a comparison review:
"By The GeekFreek in the United States on March 19, 2021
Bought this to help keep my parts sorted and my iFixIt mat wasn't quite enough.
The IFixIt mat is thicker, with better magnetism, but also costs over twice as much.
This one is significantly larger, the magnetism is good enough for all the small parts and springs to keep them from rolling away. It's less then 50% as thick and prone to warping but it is shipped in a flat package so it's not much of an issue.
I'll buy another one of these over the iFixIt."

Unamela: 9.8"L x 11.8"W
iFixit: 8"x10"
random mouse pad: 10.2x8.2 Inches

Price vs features, I can't decide. I have an amazon cart going now anyway so I think I'll buy the Unamela one.

I suppose you wouldn't want to set a hard drive near these while working on it? Or is the magnetism not strong enough to be a concern?

Not nearly strong enough to cause an HD issue.

Use Velcro or a small magnet glued to the marker.

Which probably has a lip around the border so that errant parts don't roll off. I'm just gonna order this [walmart.com] and supplement the magnetism with neodymium magnets from the other side.

Uh, yeah. That's actually perfect. I'm getting one of those from Walmart too. Nice find. Although how ever will we live without the grid lines? 😁

I still had the $10 best buy rewards member credit they sent out a couple weeks ago. I was able to apply that to this order to get it down to ~$5. Awesome deal, thanks OP!
