Logitech G POWERPLAY - Wireless Charging Technology (2024)

FAQs

What is the technology behind wireless charging? ›

Resonance, or resonant, wireless charging is similar to induction charging. Resonance or resonant chargers work by using oscillating current in a highly resonant coil combined with a capacitor. Like induction charging, this creates an electromagnetic field.

But, there's a sweet spot that charges your devices...the rest of the mat is just a mat. This one will not charge your phone or any device not specifically meant for it - but the ENTIRE pad is a charging surface for the mouse.

POWERPLAY creates an energy field above its surface that allows charging even while a mouse is in motion and delivers power without interfering with the precise measurement and data transmission of a high-performance gaming mouse.

In this article, we will discuss the potential disadvantages of wireless charging technology. Wireless charging systems generally have lower efficiency rates compared to wired charging systems. Losses during energy transfer can make the charging process slower and energy consumption higher.

Finally, Qi charging is backwards compatible. This means that older devices that don't have wireless charging capabilities can still be charged using a Qi charger. Wireless charging, on the other hand, requires that both the transmitter and receiver be compatible with the same wireless charging standard.

【For charging】: The MOSHOU Powercore module can be quickly charged with a Qi wireless charger. However, the Logitech PowerPlay Mousepad is a stand-alone wireless charging system and cannot be charged for third-party products. If you can't use it, please contact us!

Plug one end of the micro-USB cable into the charging port, and the other end into a USB port on your computer. Alternatively, you can use a USB charger providing the power output rating is no more than 5V - 500mA. The status light blinks green as the battery charges.

The PRO Wireless is also compatible with the Logitech G POWERPLAY Wireless Charging System, for infinite charging and play.

What is the dim light on Logitech Powerplay? ›

The Powerplay is designed to keep the mouse battery at levels between 85%-95%. The white charging LED will change in brightness to signify if the mouse is connected but not charging, which is shown by a dimmed light, or charging, which is shown with a bright white light.

POWERPLAY is compatible with many Logitech G mice, including G502 X PLUS, PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2, G502 LIGHTSPEED and G703.

Continuously charge your G502 while at rest and at play with the POWERPLAY wireless charging solution.

They work thanks to a process known as magnetic induction, the same method used to charge electrical toothbrushes, which employs an electromagnetic field to transfer energy between two objects.

At a basic level, wireless charging works by creating a wireless transfer of energy between two coils, tuned to resonate at the same frequency. Based on the principles of electromagnetic resonance, resonant-based chargers inject an oscillating current into a coil to create an oscillating electromagnetic field.

The secret to how wireless charging works is electromagnetic induction: A transmitter coil in the charging base sends out a signal. The signal searches for a receiver coil, like the one in your compatible smartphone. When it senses one, electromagnetic induction begins.

Wireless charging is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. When an electric current is sent through a coil (a wound-up cable), it creates a magnetic field whose action generates another electric current in a second coil that's some distance away.
