Logitech has announced its new Powerplay technology
with the launch of their first Logitech Powerplay Mouse Pad and the device has
wireless charging technology built in, so it charges your mouse whilst you are
using it. Logitech are also launching a couple of mice to work with their new
Logitech Powerplay mouse pad, the Logitech G903 and G703.
POWERPLAY creates an electromagnetic energy field
over a large surface area – so you don’t have to rest your gaming mouse on a
tiny charging target. This field is captured and transformed into charging
current by the included POWERCORE module, which attaches magnetically to the
underside of a compatible gaming mouse in place of the existing weight door.
It’s designed to keep charging even through high-speed flick shots or lifting
and repositioning, and its base is only 2mm thick – so it’s comfortable to use
as a gaming surface.
We also wanted to make sure that the wireless
connection was as reliable and easy to set up as possible, so we included a
LIGHTSPEED Wireless receiver in the POWERPLAY base for competition-level
responsiveness. And, thanks to Logitech G’s decades of wireless development
experience, LIGHTSPEED has a signal strength up to 16 times higher than the
competition, while its unique Frequency Agility Mechanism easily avoids any
interference it can’t overcome. So all you have to do is plug in POWERPLAY,
insert the POWERCORE, and turn your mouse off and back on again. You’ll be up
and running immediately, getting both wireless power and LIGHTSPEED data over a
single USB port. You’ll never need to worry about mouse cables again.
You can find out more details about the Logitech
Powerplay mouse pad over at Logitech, it will be available
for US$ 99.99.
