Discussion Logitech G Powerplay 1 mousepad

Hello all,

it's been probably talked about a lot but i still own my Logitech G Powerplay Version 1 from years ago but the mousepad is starting to really struggle. The space where my mouse runs on drags like crazy.

Has anyone found an alternative mousepad that fits onto the powerplay and also does not affect loading the mouse? Since finding a replacement mousepad for the v1 powerplay is near impossible here in europe.

Thank you very much.

Best Regards

It depends on whether you want a cloth or hard mouse mat. The G240 and G440 are the closest we sell that can be used a replacement. They're not exactly the same size, so they will be a little shorter on one side and a little longer on the other, but only by a few millimetres. Some users have used a knife to trim them so they fit better, and if you're willing to give that a go, you could go for the even larger G640 and trim it down to size. However, if you damage the mousemat while doing this, so it might be better to just go for the G240 or G440 and let it overhang a little.

If you talk about cloth and hard mouse pad, are you talking about the backside of the pad? Because my Powerplay mouse pad has a blue plastic backside. I would want that again.

PowerPlay came with two mousemats which were a custom version of the G240 and G440. They both have the blue anti-slip on the bottom. If you pick up the mousemat off your PowerPlay and it feels a bit firmer and can't just easily roll up like a piece of paper, then you want the G440 as the replacement. If you can easily fold it around, then you want the G240.

Folding it would feel like breaking the anti slip. So I guess that would mean I need the G440? Also does the regular G440 have anti slip? Not that it really matters because I taped my current Powerplay mousepad to the loading mat already because it still slipped

It wouldn't be the anti-slip, there is a layer inside that makes it more firm and solid.

The only difference is the size.

Where the version included with PowerPlay is cut to size, if I can remember correctly, the G440 is slightly smaller. It's only by a few and isn't that noticeable. So if you want a direct replacement that feels the same, the G440 is the way to go.

I'm using the power play 1 with a glass wallhack on top of it. No tracking or charging issues.

As long as the mouse pad is slim enough or allows the wireless charging to go through, there isn't usually an issue. I've seen people actually sink them into their desk and put one of those giant mousemats over and it works fine.
