Powerplay 2: Logitech made its magic mousepad cheaper instead of better

Summary

61% Informative

The Powerplay Wireless Charging System costs Logitech $ 120 .

The mousepad has a 15 percent wider charging area and is thinner at just 3.5mm.

There's no more wireless mouse receiver built into the Powerplay 2 , a feature I found handy with the original.

The new mousepad is cheaper, but Logitech made its mousepad more than $20 cheaper.

The original Powerplay is no longer in stock at major retailers, so I expect it will soon fetch a premium price on eBay .

Fingers crossed that come Black Friday , we’ll be able to buy a combo pack with it and Logitech ’s cheapest compatible mouse — that G309 — for under $100 in total.
