In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the advancements in wireless gaming mice, stating that they have nearly reached peak performance comparable to their wired counterparts. The focus then shifts to the next logical step for wireless peripherals: eliminating the inconvenience of charging. The video will compare two ecosystems: the Logitech Powerplay and Corsair MM1000 with the Dark Core Mouse. It highlights that while both systems have advantages and drawbacks, Corsair’s use of the Qi charging protocol offers more flexibility and better value. Pricing and size comparisons are also made, with Corsair’s package being more cost-effective. The unique charging technologies of each mouse pad are briefly mentioned, noting that Logitech’s system, which covers the entire mouse pad, is more delicate.

In this segment, the video discusses the advantages and limitations of the Qi charging technologies in different mouse mats. The presenter compares the Corsair MM1000 and Logitech Powerplay mouse mats. The MM1000 requires precise alignment of the mouse on a specific charging area, using LED indicators for proper contact alignment, whereas the Powerplay continuously charges the mouse as long as it’s on the mat. However, the Powerplay’s proprietary circuit isn’t approved in all countries, like Canada. The Corsair setup has global approval and allows charging the mouse on any Qi charger, making it more versatile. The Dark Core mouse can last up to 24 hours without lights and lacks a precise battery percentage indicator, unlike Logitech’s mice. Lastly, Corsair’s MM1000 mat also offers additional Qi charging capabilities for other devices using an included adapter, enhancing its utility.

In this part of the video, the speaker compares features of two different wireless charging mouse mats: the MO 1000 and Powerplay. Key points include the MO 1000’s USB pass-through which reduces latency, while Powerplay can only be used with specific mice but integrates a unique puck system for signal transmission. The speaker highlights that both mice can operate in wired mode and praises Powerplay’s swappable surfaces, although they prefer fabric over hard surfaces for better control. Additionally, they discuss preferences for the Logitech G 703 mouse versus the Dark Core due to its weight and shape. The speaker appreciates Corsair’s adoption of the Qi charging protocol, which allows cross-brand compatibility for wireless charging devices, enhancing the ecosystem’s potential. Finally, they hint at an upcoming full review of the Dark Core mouse and further evaluations of the charging mats’ performance.
