It also stops me needing cables to charge devices that are wireless for a reason. It's not quite the same but at least I can just leave them in the right spot when I walk away and know they're likely to have charge when I come back later. HyperX at least met me halfway for a little while there, with some of the brand's peripherals like the Pulsefire Dart featuring QI wireless charging. At the time I believed the future would be full of excellent mousepad and wireless mice combos, but in recent years all I've heard was crickets.
You can still get them, but they're $230 AUD for me (its a lot) and that's without a compatible mouse. I remember drooling over Logitech's PowerPlay mat that came out around the same time for its G series gaming mice. Razer wasn't the only company dipping its toes into the charging pad game once upon a time. Full-sized wireless kings at the moment are closer to the 60g mark, and though I've enjoyed the levity of some of them I still haven't switched my daily cursor-pusher thanks to the convenience of an always ready-to-go mouse. In 2023, Razer has just announced a new 49g Viper Mini, which will be the company's lightest to date.
At the time this was one of the lightest wireless mice you could get thanks to this design, at around 90 grams.
