Powerplay is legit, and Apple should take notice.
that fell by the wayside once Samsung and Apple gave Qi the nod instead. Coonrad wouldn’t say how much credit Logitech’s partners might deserve: for instance, both the charging pad and the transmitter circuit board are labeled LG Innotek, though it’s possible it just served as manufacturer.
The other thing I find interesting about the Powerplay mousepad is that it’s not just a charger. It also doubles as the wireless receiver for the mouse, so you don’t need to leave the mouse dongle plugged into your PC anymore — I keep it inside the mouse for easy grab-and-go. The FCC filing shows there’sand a working Bluetooth antenna inside there — though Coonrad suspects the Bluetooth was never actually used.
By and large, gaming mouse battery life has significantly improved since 2017, with the recent G Pro X Superlight boasting 70 hours a charge, compared to 60 hours for the previous generation, which itself was double that of the generation before. Less feature-filled mice — like Coonrad’s G305 and mice from competitors — can easily cross the 200-hour mark now.
Says Coonrad: “If this is so awesome, why isn’t Logitech making a bigger stink about it? The war on wireless is won.”need to spend hundreds of dollars just to get a wireless mouse that doesn’t die every week. But it’s nowhere near as magical as never needing to charge at all.
