Logitech Unveils Wireless Charger for Mice

Logitech Unveils Wireless Charger for Mice
Tanner Banks
June 15, 2017

Well now this is … um … is pretty neat. Now your wireless mouse won’t ever run out of battery. Logitech has put their brains together to make something awesome. Even if it’s not exactly… necessary. I mean, you could just have a wired mouse, but not everyone likes wires! So if you’re looking for the minimalist aesthetic, this is perfect.

The Powerplay bundle will run you $100, and it comes with a plenty of goodies. The bundle contains a wireless charging base, two mousing surfaces (both hard and soft) to switch between, and a powercore module to keep the good times rolling. According to Logitech they’ve spent the last four years developing this wireless  peripheral. Wireless charging has long been a cute novelty, but this legitimate use is a great step forward. Now it’s not just some fashion statement, like with wireless phone charging stations and the like.

Under the Hood

Logitech’s Powerplay is using a completely new proprietary technology. Right now details aren’t available, but what we do know is it’s use of magnetic resonance wireless power transfer. Essentially, it uses a coil of wire as an antenna in the powercore. In the charging mat, a second antenna will be tuned to the same frequency as the powercore. When power flows through one of the coils, it makes the other coil resonate, which is then turned into electricity. Because wireless power transfer requires the transmitter and receiver to be closely aligned, wireless charging stations often need to touch whatever they’re charging.
But that’s what’s so brilliant for the usage in a wireless mouse. It’ll always be touching the charger. So it should always be charging. Well played Logitech, well played. The charging doesn’t interfere with the functionality of the mouse either, so users can snipe, type, and click to their heart’s content.

Get Some

If this has got you hyped up enough, then get ready for some more. The Logitech G Powerplay, released in August, and Logitech has also announced the first two mice officially compatible with it. The G903, and G703. The G903 is a tiny upgrade from the G900. (Makes sense since it’s only 3 more than the G900.) And the G703 is practically identical to the G403. (Well so much for the number theory…) Either way, the G903 will run $149.99 and the G703 will be $99.99 when they go on sale later this month.

I've always been a gamer. Way back when I was sitting on the basement floor with my sister playing Spyro and Madden '99 I knew what my future was. Gaming. Now I try to squeeze as much gaming in as possible when I'm not in class at Bellarmine University.
