finally bought one of these to pair with my g703, and i must say, what an excellent product, you can tell theres the attention to detail in making sure there is nothing obtrusive, it looks and feels great, and oh the convenience.
Bigger pad gonna make it perfect.
A bigger pad would be more expensive and the default size is OK
4:24 someone with razer keyboard and mouse humm...
Check the computer screen, they are doing a technical comparison.
I have had three of these. One was a replacement by Logitech. The issue is that the Powerplay will generate EMF interference while in the charging state, as indicated by the White LED on the pad receiver. I have the G903 Mouse, G910 Keyboard, and the Powerplay. I also use a Logitech MX Master 3 and Performance MX for productivity most of the time. I noticed the mouse cursor while using any other wireless mouse like the MX Master 3 or Performance MX was jittering, and I could not control it while the Powerplay was in the charge state!
As soon as the charge state ended or I unplugged the Powerplay, the cursor would return to normal. As soon as the Powerplay returned to the charging state, the cursor would become erratic again! I also noticed the G903 generated a jittery mouse cursor while the Powerplay was in a charged state. It was not as bad as when using the MXM3, and I could select items, but the cursor was jittering until the charge state ended.
So Logitech sent me a replacement Powerplay, and it had the same issue! Because I use my productivity Logitech mice the most, I would unplug the Powerplay pad to prevent the problem from occurring. When I wanted to game and use the G903 mouse, I would plug the Powerplay back in.
Fast forward a few months, and I started to play Elden Ring on PC using an Xbox controller. I noticed intermittent issues with menu control. When trying to select or scroll through a menu using the Xbox controller, I could not choose anything, and it would jump around! At first, I thought this was a new game patch issue, but it continued to occur, and then I noticed the game was jittering slightly only on the monitor I was playing Elden Ring. When this issue remained after several patches, I discovered the Powerplay was causing the problem when it was in a charge state! Like the mice, the issue would disappear once I disconnected the Powerplay USB cable or stopped charging.
I connected the USB connection directly to my desktop and other USB ports, but the issue persists. All device Firmware and G-Hub software are up to date. I even purchased a third Powerplay pad from BestBuy, hoping Logitech may have changed something, but the issue continues even on the newest Powerplay. The Powerplay produces some EMF that impacts other wireless devices, speakers, and monitors. I am not sure how the Powerplay is affecting my monitor. Still, it is only occurring on the monitor I am playing Elden Ring on, leading me to conclude the interface is coming through the Xbox controller and maybe producing micro character movement, which looks like screen jittering on my monitor.
I have contacted Logitech again regarding this issue. I have not seen many reviewers reporting this, but I believe this is because most owners only use a Logitech G Mouse, so they do not know the impact on other wireless devices. However, there are a few reviewers who, like me, use different wireless devices and are experiencing the same issue.
Edit: I have noticed my Panasonic wireless home phone has had interference for some time now. This wasn't always the case, and If I move away from my desk with the Powerplay, it goes away! It occurred to me that the Powerplay might also impact this phone. Sure enough, if I unplug the Powerplay mouse pad, all my home phone interference disappears!
There is a Powerplay Charging Enable option in the G Hub Powerplay options section that will only work with Powerplay Firmware 7.1.11. G Hub will NOT update the Powerplay Firmware through the built-in update process, and you have to do this manually to update the Fireware to 7.1.11 to enable this option! With no help from Logitech support, I think I figured out a fix.
You have to use the Logitech POWERPLAY Wireless Charging System Update Tool under downloads for the Powerplay device to actually update the Powerplay Firmware to version 7.1.11 to get the option to disable. Powerplay Charging! You can now disable Powerplay Charging until required, and it will not impact other devices. I am still checking this works and will update later. Good luck.
G915 lightspeed powerplay + XXL powerplay mat = SOLD (Currently using g502 lightspeed and wont change it for anything, while being a massive ROG fan)
I want a keyboard and mouse sized chunga pad. I don’t enjoy the shape of the logitech peripherals but if they made a desk mat to fit a small child, id buy 2.
I bought a set and tried it for a bit. I loved it but for one problem. It put out an EM feild that interfeared with my PC speaker system. A logitech Z5500.
I have a question .
I have the fligth sim P3D v4.3 ..
Joystick and Throttle are Thrustmaster T16.0000M
but would like the Throttle from Saitek x56 or x52 pro.
are both compatible ( Stick T16.000M and x56// x52 pro ????
I have Flugsim P3D V4.3
Fantastic video! I really think this is the best use case I've ever seen for wireless charging tech. Its amazing to see the depth that Logitech went to make all this work.
got my power play and loving it so far
please make a extended version or xxl or 3xl version
I’ve been using my Logitech Powerplay with my G903 since they came out. It really is a revolution in gaming. I don’t even think about plugging in and take it for granted! Plus it performs amazingly well in gaming. Thank you to all the amazing engineers that worked on this. I exclusively use Logitech G for all of my systems!!
do you still use it?
Do you notice any harmful effect to your body?
@@TheBongNoise I have it now and no lol
how do you clean it?
@@antoniocarbajal5504 I just wipe with cloth I've even spilled water on it so many times had it for 4 years no complaints
Works great! Now if I could only get it to stop blinking. It ignores the settings I apply in the Gaming Software for RGB.
Tbh ill take this even if it has to plug into the wall i just need it bigger.
still loving my g810 keyboard and g303 mouse :)
I want to get the g pro mouse dont have a line
In my country the mouse arrived but no mousepad? whats the point.
God dammit I don't need a new mouse
I WANT IT
Bumper cars charge while in motion so you should be able to apply the technology to a tiny device such as a mouse pad & mouse.
if the powercore can be served across all logitech gear, e..g wireless headphone........that would make all the battery always swappable and charging.....what do u think?.....i don't need explicit hours to charge my wireless headphones......because the mouse is always charger.....>.^
Can you make an powercore coin attachment to the G915 so i can also wirelessly charge?
good work Logitech :)
0:20 Again with the teas.
Wireless G Pro when?
Reworked/new g13 and g600 pls! Just need a bit better minijoy position and better buttons layout - with symmetrical left and right hand setup, and a numeric section between the 2 pieces. Let to use one left handed and one right handed instead of a keyboard, )! Else have to buy razer stuffs after 20 years of logitech using :)
All that suffering and still no XL matt? maybe even wireless charging for a keyboard
What's plugging something in your outlet to charge everything in your room wireless?
you don't have to plug it in again
Thats why logitech is the better brand for gaming peripherals.
Aangelsk8 I think they make the best mice.
Corsair makes the best keyboards.
@@miguel92996 Corsair keyboards suck in my opinion, they all look very very identical, the switches sound weirder on them and they are Very expensive.
anybody knows how can i clean it?
I wish there was an adapter to the G900 to support the power play.
Sathish Kumar nope. You’ll need the G903.
Why not just make a mouse that could power itself on the Movement? For example with the good old sphere serving as a electric rotor with magnets do renerate variable magnetic field on movement thus genersting an electric current fo feed the electronics? Thia way the mouse is not even dependent on special mouse pads
Pedro Guedes I dont think tiny mouse movements would be enough to generate sufficient voltage to power the mouse , there is also the friction between the sphere and the mouse pad which wouldnt feel nice (ofc the old mouses werent that bad in terms of friction but still I would rather use wired mouse than one with a sphere in it )
it's theoretically possible, however the energy output of such methods is *very* low, which to work would require the energy draw of the mice to be even lower than that, which right now isn't feasible.
May be they are working on that technology already.
And we put micro usb in it instead od usbc...
You removed battery, cable but you added that huge area on top of which mouse shoud stay...I don't understand the advantages. I prefer a traditional wireless mouse.
They didn't remove the battery, the battery is still there. nor did they remove the cable. they added a wireless charging mouse pad.
Lekka guys.. but a Veeery long video
i love the powerplay mousepad and the g903 as well (sorry for my englich)
4:23 Logitech Uses Razer Mice xD
Off course, their own mice break down after about a year of use.
@@davewxc apsolutely not true, i have g903 since it was released and kts still working, dont lie to other ppl
We need 2020 version
Since I cannot reach your helpdesk, and I can't actually contact anyone via your website or phone or anywhere, any way or any how, I'll just leave this here.
I have bought an X52 HOTAS stick, and at first the display didn't light up, and showed no relevant information as it should, as advertised.
The solution to this turned out to be to install specialized drivers, which when I opened the program, turned out to be nothing but a Facebook page for Logitech, and a few links to the Logitech website, Twitter, Facebook and other things that are COMPLETELY UNNEEDED, IRRELEVANT, AND UNWANTED in drivers for a gaming flightstick.
I had to try to uninstall this piece of bloatware FOUR times, before it actually went away and stayed away. The throttle display did keep working, and that's nice, were it not that the clock on it displays the wrong time, and the only settings I am able to find for that, don't actually make any difference. No matter how often I set the time to GMT +1, it keeps on reverting to GMT.
It's not like you guys are new to the business of gaming hardware, I've used Logitech sticks, steering wheels and speakers for years now. WHY is it so hard to get stuff to ... I dunno, work? Perhaps your programmers should look for employment elsewhere, like getting a job as a farmer's assistant, or a train conductor. Perhaps taxi driver? That will most likely be something they're more suitable for, since programming apparently isn't their thing.
It's not like it's the first driver problem I ever had with Logitech, I still remember the update for my Gran Turismo racing wheel that was convinced it was a completely different model, and I had to get help from a friend to trick into getting a previous version of the drivers, which of course wasn't readily available from Logitech itself.
I know one thing, if this stick didn't feel so nice (let's hope it's gonna last longer than the very short time I was able to enjoy my previous two logitech sticks before the hardware failed and buttons simply broke or broke off entirely with normal use) I'd have rather even gone for a Trust product.
I also know this is the very very last time I ever buy anything with the Logitech logo on it.
Regards, a previously huge Logitech fan but now very unsatisfied customer.
Seriously. Fuck your shit quality.
i got two of these. The first one never charged, returned the first day and the second stop charging about 2 years.
Really nice product.... i found the problem but logitech don't have spare parts to repare. Never put my money on this again
what was the problem ?
the only issue I have is @Corsair has one that can charge your phone and mouse and is cheaper... come on @Logitech. Oh and make it RGB around the outside
What about health because your hands over it for long periods of time so is this safe?
ExonicSkull it is. Do you have electrical currents in your body? Arms, to be specific?
@@Oofu Of course you have electrical currents in your body.
But can we make this bigger? Logitech please work with me to make a mouse pad that can charge my whole desk i mean keyboard mouse and phone all in one pad
Are we going to see a replacement for the Logitech G13 or not?
I don't understand why would you leave such a gap on the market.
keypad >> gaming keyboard
Very small miniority here. I see this complaint constantly but clearly sales weren't very good, that is why they and razer both basically abandoned it.
@@Stranger242-2 I think both firm were stupid enough not to do almost simmetrical (left and right handed version) setup at the start from the keypads to replace the gamer keyboards with 2 pieces of keypad. they making 200 buck keyboards, but unable to cut it into 2 pieces and make it a bit confortable with some tilt and matrix buttons, or to take care of the males shorter point-finger?
Я об таком устройстве ещё в начале 2 курса думал))

A4Tech NB-75D. Ей лет 10 и абсолютно такая же жень ))) инновация логитек? Тупо слизали сто старья))))
ну, скорее довели до ума
Wireless G502 hero
Possible?
make a triple xl version
EPIXSTAR The video explained how hard it was to make it that size and then you ask to make it bigger.
Facepalms.
Oofu but it could be possible
Customer support is still complete garbage tho been trying to get a replacement on $150 faulty gaming headset for 2 months now
Mike Denver
weird that you guys put so much thought into this but you made the mouse pad so small that very few if any high level gamers would be able to use the mouse pad. Its a pretty major oversight given almost all high level gamers are using lower sensitivity. And unfortunately the large receiver and USB port on it dont make it possible to slide it under a bigger mouse pad either. on top of that you have the odd choice to make every product in the box a different thickness. If the 2 included mouse pads had the same thickness as the charging based they could be spread out to create a larger surface to put under a larger mouse pad. The other unusual choice was not to make a wrap around RGB ring for such an expensive mouse pad. If you were going to make a smaller mouse pad then clearly it was targeted more at casual players, and in that case more of them would have liked an RGB ring, plus it would have been very little extra to add that. Taking 4 years to overlook the most basic function of a mouse pad, the size is kinda sad really.
Please make a bigger pad for power users! Something at least big enough for a G640.
Capta Praelium this is just a start honestly
Agreed. With a Logitech keyboard, mouse, and maybe if we're lucky a keypad (see my comment below) we could really use a 150cmx50cm desk pad. Bigger the better.
I' have no shame in saying I'm a logitech fanboy. They make the best gear, simple. We need all of the logitechs.
not goin' to lie i am too but i want a clicky keyboard like razer lol
Do yourself a favour and don't try razer. It'll fall apart. I've had 5 of their products, 2 of them I had replaced 3 times each (so 11 all up) and every one was junk and physically broke.
Meanwhile here I am with an MX Revolution I bought 11 years ago - it was so good I bought two more and all three are still working great - and that's after enduring 80 hour weeks as a software developer writing code and flying around the country in airline baggage, and then coming home and abusing that one by being the 'TV mouse' and having food dropped on it and stepped on. And that's just the beginning of it. Logi earned their reputation with me.
Clicky keyboards aren't the best for gaming, they interfere with the sound, it's a disadvantage in competitive games. All your mates on chat will complain about the noise, it's bad for streaming for the same reason... Still, options are nice! I hope they make a romer-g clicky for you, it's a great switch.
I'm thinking of buying the pro keyboard from logitech. i have G710+ right now and G502
Are there any adverse health effects to having an electromagnetic field right underneath your hand lol.
No, it's perfectly safe. You have an electromagnetic field all around and inside of you all the time.
Sunrays are more damaging
Way. And heaven forbid you should breathe the air we pollute, that legitimately will give you cancer.

Amazing
не пойму что здесь нового это же старые технологии
SICKKKKK
Lol. Check a4tech NB-75D mouse. It's 10 years old and uses the same technology ))))
"same technology"
look how small that mousepad is...
It's probably using similar technology that is not very efficient.
It's a great product when it works. But mine and those of friends have all stopped working after about a year. Stay away form these things. Great while it works, but it won't work for long.
Алах акбар
Great pioneer in the field. However, there are obvious downsides as this is a new type of mice. This is basically a wireless mouse that can only work on a specific mousepad and nothing else. This is thus far more limiting than more traditional options. But there is potential in increasing the magnetic field and have a transmitter, say, under the desk rather than directly below the mouse, that would make this perfect. But we're just not there yet.
Rusty Cog nope, you can literally use whatever mouse pad u want as the charging pad is NOT the one used for the mice. Yoy need to put ANOTHER pad above the charging pad and it works with every single mouse pad i have tried (6). The only downside is that the chargin pad may be too little to some ppl so a bigger mouse pad will fall from the sides.
Pablo González Hermosilla this is a bandaid solution. you can't use a bigger mousepad the way you can with any other type of mouse. what I meant is a transmitter of much bigger size that is mounted under the desk so you can use any mousepad or no mousepad at all. could even double as a phone charger.
Rusty Cog oh, i agree with you then. Hope they adress that issue in the near future. Looks like a cool idea.
true.
however, even in the case of putting it under your desk, it simply wouldn't work depending on what your desk is made of (ie. metal).
BattousaiHBr kinda had wooden tables in mind when I wrote that. You got me.
Пиздец технологично
But that annoying noise tho

If only this shit would be available to buy in India!!! Don't you guys wana sell here?
Love chinese workers .
its nice until it stops working in less then a year
Lol Soviel Aufwand und Forschung und dann schafft ihr es nicht mal etwas so simples wie eine G502 für Linkshänder zu portieren?? Echt peinlich ...
Sure it's possible. Needed at all?! NOOOOO. Work on proper lightweight wireless mice. 80-95g mice. Scrue this tiny expensive pad. Plug your mouse into the pc every other day and itll never run out. Wasted tech
