Stopping to work in the middle of a live presentation or in the middle of a game. My mouse is excellent, I love it but I have a magnetic USB cable next to the mouse pad for the times where I get a warning 10 seconds before shutting down.

What if it was powered wirelessly, with a range as big as the cable?

This is not the world we live in. It would also need to work with many such devices in proximity, such as office cubicles or university lecture halls.

The Logitech G903 mouse has a special pad that also charges it wirelessly.

Maybe I am a stupid layman but isn't that mouse pad basically a low power induction cooker? Am I superstitious to not want to keep my hand on an induction cooker for hours per day?

As far as I know, yeah, it is. No clue how strong it is but I'd be worried a bit as well.

We both use the G900 anyway. Needs charging like twice a week. Depending on usage it can even go once two weeks only.
