Interference is minimal with modern gear.

Probably not. The wireless charger and your mouse operate on entirely different frequencies. Qi charging uses a magnetic induction field around 100-200 kHz, while wireless mice use 2.4 GHz radio. That’s a huge gap—like worrying that your microwave will mess up your WiFi. It doesn’t.

The real issue isn’t the charging coil interfering with the mouse receiver’s signal. It’s more about poor shielding on cheap chargers or receivers. Some budget mousepads have shoddy electronics that can generate electrical noise, which might cause jittery cursor movement. But that’s a quality problem, not a physics one.

If you’re gaming or need pixel-perfect tracking, I’d still be cautious. The receiver dongle sitting right next to the charging coil can pick up interference if either is poorly designed. Most Logitech or Razer gear handles it fine. Some no-name brands? YMMV.

But for desk work, social media, coding—you’ll never notice a thing. Go ahead.

Give it a quick test: hold your mouse near the charger when it’s active. If the cursor stutters, return the pad.
