    I finally sprung for one of these and went wireless after many decades, really glad I did. I agree it's a luxury and down the list of worthwhile PC upgrades, but it's nice and works well.

  • downforce on 14/07/2020 - 14:05

    but just can't justify the "luxury".

    Haha, same, it's a cool gadget/gimmick but I only charge the mouse every couple weeks and even then it doesn't take long to charge enought to keep playing then leave it overnight for a full charge (plus who doesn't have two mice anyway?)

    • iori57 on 14/07/2020 - 16:38

      Me don't.. I don't consider it a gimmick as it is just plug and forget, feels really good to not bother with charging the mouse ever again and enjoy the wireless freedom. Though the price indeed kind of at the luxury side

    I just plugged my G903 into the Micro USB cable to charge it like a pleb.

    … and whilst I keep toying with the idea of the mousepad (which unfortunately won't fit on my desk), I've decided I'll save the $150.

    (that being said this is still a good deal for those who see value in the wireless charging mousepad - I did look into it before but just couldn't bring myself to spend this)

    They could have just made the mouse qi charge compatible so that you could just lay it on a $10 qi charging pad at the end of the day but no they want something costing hundreds of dollars.

      A little different though, you can just keep using the mouse on the powerplay pad and never even think about charging it.

        I was always told constantly charging devices is bad for the battery… Could it not theoretically blow up?

        • TheContact on 14/07/2020 - 17:39

          It doesn't charge it up to capacity. It lets the battery drop to a certain point then charges back up to around 90%. So better for the battery than say using it until it needs a charge then leaving it charging overbight or something.

      It's not just wireless charging. It's a premium mousepad that comes with two types of mats and it also replaces the need for the wireless dongle. Also lightsync for those that use it.

      It's pricey, but long term it's worth it. You don't realise how good it is until you use it as it soon becomes one of those things you can't do without.

    I have one of these and although I see it as a completely outlandish extravagance, I'd buy another if this failed.

    If this helps anyone, I have an extra-large desk pad (think mouse pad but goes under my keyboard too) and so I don't use any of the supplied pads; works a treat.

    • Elijha on 14/07/2020 - 14:37

      Hey I have this setup and love my large desk-pad - I thought I could not use this 'nicely' with such a existing setup.. are you saying it can slip under my existing mouse pad and charge (without you know doubling up padding)?

      • jaymzrsa on 14/07/2020 - 15:06

        Yup, so what this is, is a plastic charger and what you see in the pictures is with their own mouse mat on top (see pic)

        https://media.jw.com.au/media/catalog/product/cache/f1bef819…

        So I just didn't use their pad and instead put it under my extra-large mat, works fine and charges fine. An extra point to note, you can't always see it charging as it only charges at sub 70%. This is to stop constantly topping up the battery and shortening its life.

        @Bombdigidy You need to work on the sensitivity my dude. This is a desk mat so it's about 1m long, maybe more.

    • Bombdigidy on 14/07/2020 - 14:51

      I use just under 90% of a extra large mouse mat without a keyboard on it while playing shooters lol. I don't think it would stay in place even if I put it under my mouse matt with all the swipes that get done.

      Same. I've never used the pads that come with this. It's just hidden under my desk mat.

      Before I would have considered it more a luxury item, but now it's a necessity. Being completely wire free and never having to charge… I wish there was one for my keyboard too.

  • Dream-cast on 14/07/2020 - 14:38

    Only a luxury because of the ridiculous prices for wireless charging mice at the moment. Wireless charging should be more affordable and once people get used to it it will be. I've given up and gone back to wired because I cbf waiting for prices to drop.

    Depending on the mouse you could be needing to change batteries or plug it in anywhere from 5 days - 5 months. And when you plug it in its a wired mouse again. I use my mouse for work and gaming and batteries last 4 days tops. Every 5th day it's a wired mouse. Cbf dealing with that anymore so i've gone back to wired permanently.

    • techno2000 on 14/07/2020 - 15:07

      Mice using AA batteries last much longer than those using Lithium-ion.

      For Example Logitech G602,G603,G604 and Razer Basilisk X HyperSpeed last a long time and you can use eneloops and replace the batteries in 10 seconds.

      Among Lithium ion mice,The Mx Master 2s and 3 last a long time as well.

      • Dream-cast on 14/07/2020 - 15:31

        Yeah but AA batteries are heavy. I used my G602 for a long time until it developed a fault. Battery life is great on it but 1 or 2 AA's weigh it down.
        I'm using a Steelseries Rival 3 and Cooler Master MM711 now. At 70g weight its very hard to go back to a wireless mouse unless it's light. And they could do this by using a tiny lithium ion battery with wireless charging. But no doubt they'd charge 300 bucks for it because they can.

    • crentist on 14/07/2020 - 18:32

      ive been daily driving a $15 wireless mouse from amazon the last couple of years and i cant remember ever changing the aa battery inside
      i probably did, but evidently its rare and forgettable

      this mat seems like a luxury because the problem it solves shouldnt exist in the range of devices it works with

  • Ceejay on 14/07/2020 - 14:42

        +1 for the G703, have one right now and it's been working really well. If you're experiencing cut outs when it's connected with a wire you need to download the firmware from here. For some reason on mine both G Hub and Logitech Gaming Software wouldn't detect this update.

      The Logitech Hero wireless sensors (G pro wireless, G703, G304/5) are on-par, if not slightly better than the sensor responsiveness and accuracy on any wired mice currently on the market.

      Never had an issue. I have the G903 and the Powerplay becomes the new sensor. You are literally cm's away from the receiver so I think latency is pretty negligible.

              You have to understand the risk of MRI isn't from radiation because there is none. The risk is from the dye used and how it puts a load on your kidneys. If you use non contrast MRI you can have as many as you want provided you can afford it.

              MRIs are not cheap and actually cost a little more than CTs. But most patients don't see the true cost as Medicare subsidies it. But doctors can't keep prescribing scans without valid reasons, or they get audited by Medicare and get into all sorts of problems if they can't justify it.

              @jkim: There's no research that MF from an MRI can cause cancer. Perhaps it's an issue with the injectable contrast medium. And almost no one gets annual MRIs outside of invasive brain tumours, in which case it's the least of your problems anyway

          Its a joke… a referance to the whole "5G causes cancer/coronavirus etc…" People have been saying that consumer grade wireless technology of all types "might cause cancer" for decades at this point, bluetooth/3g/4g/5g/nfc/qi just to name a few have all had conspiracy theories surrounding them, it has never been true.

          Do you really think Logitech would be allowed to sell these mouse pads for 3 years at this point if they caused cancer?

          • jkim on 14/07/2020 - 16:07

            @Vinodra: Oh… well I distinguish between:
            1. MF for signals. i.e. 5G
            2. MF for temporary power on low power units. i.e. NFC
            3. MF powerful enough to charge battery or above. i.e. Wireless phone charger, or this mouse mat

            I don't believe 1 or 2 to have adverse health effects but 3 - with prolonged contact within 30cm…?
            Which is the typical use case for a mouse pad.

        I did very well in Physics to the university level… how about you?

        Also, I don't see what is wrong with my concerns given:
        1. All studies on induction charging to date that I have sighted were around phone chargers, with the caveat that human contact required is minimal, and hence MF effects of >~ 30cm distance were measured.
        2. Different to the phone use case, when you are using this pad, your wrist will constantly be in direct contact with the MF (< 1cm from the coils) for prolonged periods (excessive gamers may use for > 8 hrs / day - if you use it for work + play then it might be 16+ hrs / day). I have seen no studies to date covering this particular use case.

            @Blitzfx: There's plenty of papers linking cancer and electromagnetic fields.

            Even in the link azukay provided, there are numerous caveats around power level and exposure duration, with hints of a linear risk relationship at higher exposures.

            Most papers state that comms level MF is safe, although a few hint a relationship between exposure and risk.
            Most papers state that wireless charging MF is safe (as mentioned before, all that I have seen), but with a caveat around proximity and contact duration.

            Under what authority do you claim that the use case NOT covered by these studies, but is logically a higher risk category (more power, closer proximity, longer duration of contact), is absolutely non-carcinogenic?
            The use case is wireless charging with prolonged direct human contact to coils (8+ hrs / day, < 1 cm distance).
            Can you link even 1 single study that says there's no correlation?

            Do you even know what you're on about?

                @Blitzfx: No, it's not irrelevant.
                It's not anything like proving god exists.

                What numerous studies demonstrate are that a positive linear relationship between "higher exposure" to MF and cancer.
                What numerous studies also demonstrate are that at the energy levels used by comms, MF causing cancer is unlikely.

                What is NOT established is at what energy level and at what (frequency of) exposure MF is carcinogenic?

                And whether the applicable use case of this particular device would impinge on this threshold?
                Hence the question that I originally posed - i.e. outlining a POSSIBILITY.

                There are plenty of industry funded research stating that mobile phones and qi chargers are safe, with caveats around proximity and duration. All of those that I've seen explicitly mention this caveat, inferring effects are unknown - again - as we do not actually know what is the tipping point at which exposure becomes risky.

                Hence, refuting a possibility with absence of evidence is simply stupidity.

                  @jkim: You're highlighting problems with your logic by looking for things that, imo, probably don't exist.

                  It's like digging for gold in my back yard. You can't say there IS gold, I can't say there ISN'T gold without digging all the way to the core of the earth which is ridiculous, and is exactly what you're suggesting.

                  with caveats

                  I hope you realise this, since you mentioned it yourself. Researchers can't, in equivalence, claim there is NO gold in their backyard because the methodology, logical conclusions, etc. is never perfect. Everything in research cannot be claimed in 100% certainty.

                  Which brings me back to my first point, with what we know, wrist cancer from wireless charging is not real and there are 0 papers suggesting so.

                  What is NOT established

                  What or how exactly do you think anyone can establish this? Fundamentally, how do you construct your test? You can't possibly link wireless charging to wrist cancer because this would take yearsto manifest itself, by which time outside factors would play a much larger role in giving a particular patient cancer.

                    You are ignoring the whole spectrum, and drawing a strawman argument (god/etc) to make it convenient for you not to bear the burden of proof.

                    Listen. My argument is pure logic, and pretty simple if I do say so:
                    1. At higher exposure and energy level, MF = carcinogen.
                    2. At lower, MF != carcinogen.
                    3. This product = somewhere in between.
                    If we say 1. and 2. are true, and 3 is true, then logic states that it could be either to the left or the right side of the equation - i.e. there's a question to be answered on whether this product can give you cancer.

                    You claim that it is definitely one side and not the other - will definitely not give you cancer.
                    You need to bear burden of proof, given you made the claim.

                    So you need to do one of:
                    a. disprove 1 - which you won't do.
                    b. disprove 3 - if you know the exact energy level exposure this product will expose you to, and show evidence that it is lower than or equal to 2.
                    c. apologise and shut up.

                    Simple.

                    @Blitzfx: "You can't possibly link wireless charging to wrist cancer because this would take yearsto manifest itself, by which time outside factors would play a much larger role in giving a particular patient cancer."
                    Also this statement is utter BS.

                    1. Yes, if it does give you cancer, it will take years to manifest!
                      I said so in my earlier comment myself.

                    2. You want to believe outside factors would play a larger role just to add credibility to your non-argument.
                      That is a cop out argument and neither here nor there.
                      Why don't you say smoking doesn't give you cancer… or UV rays for that matter…?
                      Since outside factors would play a much larger role?

                    "It's like digging for gold in my back yard. You can't say there IS gold"
                    Strawman again…
                    I didn't say there IS gold.
                    I said there COULD BE gold, given there was gold at one of your neighbours, and not at your other neighbour.
                    YOU are the one claiming there is definitely no gold under your house, totally ignoring the gold found at one of your neighbours.

                      @jkim:

                      1. This product = somewhere in between.

                      Hmm no. 0 theory and research to support the claim that low energy can cause cancer from wireless mouse pad, same argument you used against me can be used against you in:

                      You need to bear burden of proof, given you made the claim.

                      claim being: wrist cancer

                      The gold analogy is not a strawman. You dig long and deep enough you will find something which might look like gold, just like how the anti-vax came about. You research long and hard enough, someone somewhere will have outlier data which might apparently draw links to something you want to prove.

                      given there was gold at one of your neighbours
                      Who got wrist cancer? nobody definitively got wrist cancer from using wireless mouse pad.

                      Yes, if it does give you cancer, it will take years to manifest!

                      There is 0 data to support low energy causes cancer
                      If it hypothetically does, and if it hypothetically has 1x10^-1000 % of causing it, it is a useless and impractical conclusion to use because of outside environmental factors like pollution in the air and UV sunlight.

                        @Blitzfx: You are full of strawmen.
                        Strawman 1:
                        "0 theory and research to support the claim that low energy can cause cancer from wireless mouse pad"
                        The main question, which you keep ignoring, is the definition of low energy & saturated exposure.
                        There is 0 research on the wireless mousepad use case - period.
                        HOWEVER, there is a very logical inference, as I've previously described. High exposure <—-> Low exposure.

                        Strawman 2:
                        "claim being: wrist cancer"
                        Raising a possible avenue of caution until research is conducted and making a claim that something is definitely the case are 2 different things.

                        Strawman 3:
                        "The gold anology"
                        Certainly a strawman. IT'S NOT ABOUT DEPTH. Your neighbour (high exposure to MF) GOT GOLD! Your other neighbour (low exposure to MF) got no gold. The question is "given one neighbour does, and one doesn't, does your back yard have gold?", with the implied assumption that the vein of gold is continuous from an unknown starting point upwards.

                        Strawman 4:
                        "There is 0 data to support low energy causes cancer"
                        Where's your proof that this thing is "low energy"?
                        And what's the definition of "low energy"?

                        This thing must have enough energy to charge a battery + power the mouse itself, and your wrist is sitting right in the middle of the field generating that current 100% of the time.
                        How much current is being generated in your wrist?
                        Will that do any cellular or dna damage?

                        There are questions, and there are no answers, and until there are, it's safer to acknowledge the possibility than to dismiss it.

    I would get this if it was under $60, but at $150 I might as well get 2 mice and switch them when one dies.

    • R3XNebular on 14/07/2020 - 16:07

      lol you're right. For that price I just buy another mouse…

    • Vinodra on 14/07/2020 - 16:07

      Yep, I got a g703 and a g903 for this purpose, g703 was $79, got that in 2017, g903 was also $79 when I picked it up from EB Games a few months back.

      • Void on 14/07/2020 - 16:08

        $79 for a G903! I paid $109 for a G703 :(

        • Vinodra on 14/07/2020 - 16:09

          Yeah, they were clearing them out because of the new HERO sensor model.

  • Naigrabzo on 14/07/2020 - 15:53

    Really cool idea especially for high level users!! NICE!

    So I go from wireless mouse pad and wired mouse to wireless mouse but wired mouse pad?
    Not really ditching the wire, just moving it a little

      I have no plans on buying this, but I think you're completly missing the point. You will never have to plug a cable into the actual mouse itself with this, making the mouse truly wireless.

      • jace88 on 14/07/2020 - 16:51

        Yeah. I think if I was so baller that $150 wasn't even worth picking up if I dropped it on the ground, then I'd probably get one just to complete the set up but it's a lot to spend on a proprietary mouse pad charger. The other benefit of it was around getting a second receiver and thus creating a use case where you could have it set up at home for a desktop PC, and then use the original mouse's USB dongle in a different laptop so you could use the one mouse for both… but even Logitech has both wireless and Bluetooth connectivity options in their newer mice so I suspect the G904 (or whatever the sequel to G903 is called) will have the ability to switch.

      • pwnd on 14/07/2020 - 16:55

        Not really missing the point. Was more of a tongue in cheek comment about the dumbest part of my pc setup now being wired, for the sake of losing one other wire.
        I didn't neg the deal as a result. Just thought it was a hint ironic. Just a bit

    This is why I prefer mouse uses AA batteries, quick swap and keep going.

  • Blottski on 14/07/2020 - 16:07

    geez.. these have gone up in price. I got mine off Logitech shop on Ebay for $129 a few months back. (he hasn't got any now though) Other prices are ridiculous.

    As already said, it's a fantastic luxury to have this. Would buy again.

  • botchie on 14/07/2020 - 16:12

    I'm pretty sure I paid less for my g pro wireless, takes like 15 Min to charge 20% or so and that last me few days at least
    Don't see value in this at all

      That's what we all thought initially. That changed after using one.

      Like everyone else here who owns one has said, if mine broke I would buy another one.

    Legit wtf is with the pricing of computer peripherals at the moment. I wanted to get my brother a birthday present…. theres no way i'm paying 200 bucks for a product that was 130 pre-covid?!

    • Void on 14/07/2020 - 16:36

      Supply and demand.

      • Mintee on 14/07/2020 - 16:37

        Didnt realize there was so many extra people 'gaming' now…

        • Void on 14/07/2020 - 16:38

          They have a lot of time inside, and they can't do anything, so they game.
