Logitech has announced their new $100 POWERPLAY wireless mouse charging system that is comprised of a wireless mouse charging pad, a hard surface pad and a soft surface pad. The proprietary mouse pad will charge the mouse anywhere on the mouse pad unlike wireless Qi chargers that usually only work in a small confined area. Of course new wireless mice are needed to take advantage of this technology, and Logitech has announced two new members to their family; the Logitech $149 G903 and $100 G703. $200 - $250 for a complete wireless charging system does seem a bit steep; but it does seem a lot more convenient. Every time that I have to plugin the cord into my Logitech G900, I wonder out loud if there isn't a better system coming.
Other manufacturers are working on similar systems using the wireless Qi system. At Computex, Corsair debuted a Concept Zeus mouse pad charging system that could charge your wireless phone in addition to your wireless mouse as it used the industry standard Qi wireless charging system. The big difference between the Corsair prototype and the Logitech POWERPLAY system is that the Corsair charger is currently relegated to only charging in a small area on the mouse pad due to the limitations of the Qi wireless charging system. Not to be outdone by Logitech, Corsair also announced that they are working hard to bring whole mouse pad charging to the system. Competition is the greatest motivator of technology progression! I hope that both system work great for so that there will be a real choice in which system a consumer chooses to go with.
The included POWERCORE module enables compatible wireless mice for POWERPLAY. It works with the all-new G903 and G703 wireless gaming mice. Easily swap in the magnetic POWERCORE module and you’re ready to wirelessly charge.
