SpeedStacks G5 Speedcubing Mat — official cubing mat made exclusively for the G5 Pro Timer

The SpeedStacks G5 Speedcubing Mat is a compact, next-generation mat from Speed Stacks, designed specifically for the SpeedStacks G5 Pro Timer. It provides a soft landing for your puzzles after each solve, protecting both your cubes and your table from hard impacts. The built-in mounts let you securely clip the timer to the mat so it stays in place during fast solves.

This is the cubing-oriented Gen5 mat, optimized for speedcubing rather than large cup-stacking setups. It’s sized for a desk or competition station without taking up unnecessary space. The mat measures about 45 × 28 cm, which is enough for anything from 2×2 and 3×3 to larger cubes, yet small and portable enough to fit easily into a backpack.

The mounting points are compatible only with the G5 Pro Timer — other SpeedStacks generations and third–party timers will not clip in. The updated Gen5 mounting system eliminates the classic “torn-out holes” problem found on older StackMat designs, improving durability for frequent practice and competition use.

The surface is soft yet resilient, cushioning the cube when you drop it after a solve and reducing noise, while still being firm enough that the puzzle doesn’t sink or wobble. Many retailers and organizers reference this model as the new WCA standard for competitive cubing setups.

Who is the SpeedStacks G5 Speedcubing Mat for?

Ideal users:

• cubers of any level who already own or plan to buy a SpeedStacks G5 Pro Timer;
• anyone practicing at home who wants to protect their desk and puzzles from impacts;
• clubs and competition organizers using official G5 timers at their events;
• cubers who prefer a compact desk mat instead of a long stacking-style mat.

Best suited for:

• daily speedcubing practice at home or in clubs;
• competition stations using G5 Pro Timers;
• completing a “proper” StackMat setup with both timer and mat.

Design highlights

• Made only for the G5 Pro Timer — the mounting system is tailored to the G5; other timers will not lock into place.
• Redesigned clip system — the timer snaps into the mat via a new mounting mechanism, eliminating the ripped-out mounting holes that older StackMats suffered from.
• Compact footprint — about 45 × 28 cm, ideal for desks and travel setups, as opposed to larger stacking mats that cover most of the table.
• Cushioned surface — softens the cube’s impact and reduces noise when you drop it at the end of a solve.
• Official Gen5 styling — the Gen5 artwork matches the G5 Pro Timer and fits in visually with modern WCA-style competition setups.

Who might not like it

• users with other timers or older StackMat Gen3/Gen4 units — they will not clip onto this mat;
• people who want a very large mat covering most of the table (for stacking or multi-cube layouts);
• cubers who don’t plan to get a G5 Pro Timer — the main value is in the mat + timer combo.
