3mm Side-Glow PMMA Fiber for RGB Mouse Pad Ambient Edge Light
3mm side-glow PMMA fiber strip for RGB mouse pad and desktop ambient edge lighting, 1m pre-cut, bends around the mat, pairs with a small RGB LED engine.
The 3 mm side-glow PMMA fiber is the light-emitting strip routed around the edge of an RGB gaming mouse pad to create a continuous ambient glow border. The fiber itself is passive plastic optical fiber that lights along its whole length when fed by a small RGB LED engine.
Product Overview
This side-glow (side-emitting) PMMA fiber is 3 mm in diameter and supplied pre-cut to about 1 m, long enough to wrap the perimeter of a standard desk mat. Because it carries light rather than electricity, the glowing edge runs cool and can be bent to follow the mat’s border without hotspots. The RGB color and brightness come from a separate small LED engine; the fiber only transmits and diffuses that light along its side.
Key Features
- 3 mm side-glow PMMA fiber with even light emission along the strip.
- Flexible enough to bend around a mouse-pad edge or desk contour.
- Cool, no-voltage glowing strip — safe to touch.
- RGB when paired with a multi-color LED engine; customizable lengths.

FAQ
Does the fiber include the LED and RGB colors? No — the fiber is passive. RGB color, brightness and control come from a separate small LED engine that couples into one end of the strip.
How long a glow edge can one fiber make? A 3 mm side-glow strip is typically run 1 m for a mouse-pad border; longer decorative runs are supplied by the roll and matched to a suitable engine wattage.
Can it be cut to size? Yes, PMMA side-glow fiber cuts cleanly; seal the coupling end to your chosen engine and trim the rest to length.
