3 Things to Know About Charging Mousepads and Sensor Interference

Charging coils and optical sensors don’t interfere The charging coil sits in a dead zone of the sensor’s field, usually near the rear or off to one side. The sensor is tuned to ignore anything except surface texture.

The magnetic field won’t confuse the sensor The coil’s magnetic field is low-frequency, while the sensor looks for reflected light. They operate on completely different principles.

The real annoyance is the small charging zone You have to park the mouse on a specific area to charge. You can’t use the whole mousepad as a charging surface, but the sensor itself will track fine.
