If you have a PowerPlay charging system, firmware updates would be the only reason you should ever need to plug in your G903 or G703, as updates to firmware cannot be done over the LightSpeed connection. Our PowerPlay, G703 and G903 all shipped with the latest firmware and worked right out of the box no updates were required for PowerPlay functionality. The Logitech Gaming Software will allow you to check if there are firmware updates for the G703/G903 and PowerPlay. Keep in mind that only one mouse can be paired and charged on the PowerPlay mat at a time, but changing the paired mouse only takes a few seconds.

Since the LightSpeed connection on the PowerPlay mat will act as a unifying receiver, you can use the small USB receivers included with the G903 and G703 on a laptop, so you can just grab your mouse and go without worrying about disconnecting anything from your PC.

If you want to run two different Logitech mice, say a G703 for FPS and a G903 for video editing and browsing, the PowerPlay will let you easily do this. A second later, LGS finds the mouse and it’s ready to go. You simply click the “Connect a different mouse” button in LGS and then turn on the mouse you want to pair after the PowerCore module has been inserted. The “pairing’ section of the PowerPlay charging mat allows users to pair different mice and it is about a simple a process as you could expect. The RGB Logitech logo on the PowerPlay’s LightSpeed receiver can be adjusted in Logitech Gaming Software and sync’d with your other Logitech devices. The “Lighting” section, accessed by clicking on the lightbulb in the GUI, allows the user to set lighting modes and sync the RGB between other compatible Logitech G-series products, such as keyboards and headsets. The “Home” section of the PowerPlay menu gives a simple overhead view of the mat, but doesn’t seem to have any function beyond visual representation of the product.

There are three sections in the LGS for controlling and monitoring the PowerPlay wireless charging system. The current version is very stable and worked well during my testing, with no issues or crashes to report. The Logitech Gaming Software gives users one program to control settings and sync the RGB lighting on all of their Logitech G-series products. Upon initially pairing the G703 with the PowerPlay and launching Logitech Gaming Software, the screen above is what we are presented with. The latest version of the Logitech Gaming Software (LGS) as of this writing is 8.96.81 and it has full support for the PowerPlay mat, along with full support for the G903 and G703 wireless gaming mice.
