I haven't seen many people use it, I have no personal experience with it.

You can use it to practice in between rounds when you're not competing. When you solve at solving stations timers, mats and everything will already be there. I suggest watching the wca competitor's guide on youtube. but other than that if you watch competition videos you should get a hang of everything. its not that you arent allowed to bring a mat or a timer, you can but when you are going to do official solves you will use the supplied timers.

for the question about getting a timer or a mat, i suggest getting a timer first as its the most worthy thing you can buy. the mat is just to protect your puzzle from slamming down onto a hard table repeatedly for hundreds of solves at home. You can substitute the mat for a big mousepad if you have those giant ones, or even a medium sized one, as long as it covers a substantial area. You don't necessarily need to get a legit speedstacks g4 timer as well. yuxin sells a rip-off g4 timer, and any other speedstacks-style timer is functionally the same. You could get it to go comp sims or just for fun cause it feels nice.

also, for the mat i suggest getting a giant gaming mousepad for home usage so you can game with it as well as cubing. I have a medium-sized one.

I would but I never game at all. I just cube and play tennis. Also the Yuxin mat is sold out now too
