Computex 2017: Corsair Concept Zeus Qi Charging Mouse and Pad

Computex 2017:  Corsair Concept Zeus Qi Charging Mouse and Pad

Okay, this actually is a fairly brilliant idea. Everybody likes wireless mouses, but hates charging them. Corsair is jumping on that. They have a concept development project that involves a mouse-pad with one to several Qi charging zones. It's the same technology on say a Galaxy S6/7/8 phone for wireless charging. 

So that Qi zone is embedded into a mouse-pad. I placed my Galaxy S7 on the mat, and it started charging. So why would Corsair make a mouse-pad with Qi charger I was wondering, and then came out the mouse. Project Zeus will be a combination of the two. When you are not using the mouse you place it on the Qi segment and it will start charging itself.

The Zeus project is very much in a concept in development. It will become a Bluetooth enabled mouse with removable magnetic grips and so on. There are no specs on the sensor / DPI available as again it's a concept. But a pretty darn nice one if you ask me. Have a peek at some of the photos. BTW that USB thingy is a dongle you can connect to your non Qi charging phone, and that way charge it on the mouse-pad.

Thats pretty cool, one of the big reasons I don't like wireless mouses, always forgetting to put them back on the damn charger!

Uhm....

It could just be me, but wouldn't it have been a lot smarter to just make the entire mouse mat charging?

That would litterally make me get one the second it's out, this is kind of defeating the purpose imo with just the little bit on the outside, meaning you still can't use it wirelessly when the battery runs flat in the middle of your work/game XD

I like the idea though, maybe V2 will be entirely charging :P
Maybe invent a way you don't need a battery at all and just let it be powered by the mousepad... :3eyes: :nerd:

Well i will said that QI connecting surface cant cover a so large surface, on second, it is maybe not so good for captor and wireless transmission to have it charging with wireless at same time.

I dont know for other recent mice, but logitech say you nicely with a notification on desktop " 30% left, please charge your mice " or 10% left, xx hours left ".. ( note i can keep the G900 more than 3 days up before get the 30% notification ) .. then i just wire the USB and continue to use it) ( 24hours of use with led cycles, 36 without it )

It is indeed just you, because that's not how Qi charging works. Qi chargers charge from a specific point, so unless you want to fill your entire mousemat with dozens of Qi chargers, that won't be possible.

Also, Qi chargers use magnetism, which means your mouse would be impossible to handle properly on a mousemat like that.

One solution could be with a fully wireless system ( who dont need a "surface" ), but honestly, i have no idea if this will not bring much trouble, ( i come back to hw of the mice and other wireless connection.. )..
