Wireless charging mice

Wireless charging

— the presence of a wireless charging function in a mouse with a built-in battery (see "Power (wireless)")

As the name suggests, this feature allows you to recharge the battery without connecting a cable — just place the mouse on a special charger. At the same time, even a special mouse pad can play the role of such a charger — using such an accessory, you can, in fact, constantly keep the manipulator on charge. Anyway, the wireless format turns out to be much more convenient and practical than the wired one, since it does not require fiddling with wires and prevents wear and tear of the connectors from the constant connection and disconnection of the plugs. However the speed of such charging is usually somewhat lower than that of a wired one — however, in this case it does not really matter (given the small capacity of batteries in modern mice). But the unequivocal disadvantage of models with this function can be called an increased cost. In addition, wireless chargers are usually not included in the kit, they must be purchased separately (although the reverse situation is also found with mats).

Note also that modern mice can use different wireless charging technologies; the charger must also support the same technology — otherwise the use of this function will be impossible. The most popular technology nowadays is Qi technology — this is a common standard used by many manufacturers. However, in addition to this, you can find other proprietary technologies; a typical example is Powerplay, used in Logitech gaming mice and created taking into account the features of such manipulators.
