11/29/2023 0 Comments Logitech lightspeed mouse pad![]() As advertised, the G903 has cycled between 80 and 95 percent battery, discharging and recharging to keep the battery healthy but otherwise staying “fully charged.” After about a week you stop thinking about it.Īnd it’s made me a believer. I’ve never gone to sleep at night and thought, “Oh crap, I need to walk back to my computer and plug in my mouse.” As I said, I’ve been using the G903 for around a month now. Seriously: You just forget it’s wireless. What Powerplay offers though is true fire-and-forget wireless. Those figures obviously pale in comparison to cable charging-you can get a full G903 charge in as little as two or three hours if plugged in. Logitech claims you’ll get 1 or 2 percent charge per hour when the mouse is in use, or a full charge in 12 or so hours if the mouse is idle. It hasn’t died on me since, nor have I ever plugged it in. When my review kit showed up, the G903 had around a 20 percent charge. I’ve been using Powerplay for almost a month now. You don’t even need to pair the mouse manually the first time-whichever one you power on and set on the mouse pad, works. The wireless receiver for the G703 or G903 is embedded in the Powerplay base, so there’s no need for a second dongle. Once the base is plugged in, your chosen mouse pad surface is applied, and Powercore is inserted, that’s it. If you have both mice on hand for some reason, changing between the two is as easy as pulling the Powercore out and transferring it to the other mouse, then using Logitech’s software to pair the preferred device. Remove the stock plastic bit, slap the magnetic Powercore in, and voila-you have a Powerplay-ready G703 or G903. Powerplay simply fills this same hole with the aforementioned Powercore, another bit of plastic with a pair of visible metal contacts. Sans-Powerplay, this plastic disc can either be left in place or, if you prefer a heavier mouse, swapped out for a similar disc with an embedded 10-gram weight. It’s a far cry from the decadent rings of RGB lighting that festoon the Razer Firefly and Corsair MM800 Polaris.īoth the G703 and G903 ship with a little plastic disc magnetically attached to the underside. ![]() ![]() Plug it in and you might say, “That’s it?” as a single Logitech “G” logo on that hub is illuminated. It looks quite a bit like Razer and Corsair’s recent RGB mousepads-a semi-stiff piece of plastic, measuring approximately 12×13 inches, with a thicker hub in the upper-left corner where the USB cable connects to your computer. The Powerplay base is the core technology, and the part you plug into your PC. There are three components, actually-four if you count the bit that plugs into the mouse. I keep referring to “the mouse pad” but I guess I should start by noting that it’s a bit more complicated than it sounds. Feel free to check out our full reviews of the right-handed G703 and ambidextrous G903 though. Thus I might mention them offhand, but for the sake of clarity I’m going to focus primarily on the mouse pad here. Those mice, the G703 and G903, can be used independent of the Powerplay mouse pad, as just your everyday lithium-ion powered wireless mice, complete with a cord you need to periodically plug in for recharging. Powerplay is a two-part system: the aforementioned mouse pad and then (at the moment) one of two compatible mice to go along with it.
