We have wireless charging pads. We have wireless mice. It doesn't seem like rocket surgery to put the two things together.

That's what Corsair has finally done with the new Concept Zeus mousepad, shown off for the first time at Computex in Taipei.

The Concept Zeus mousepad features a inductive charging circle in the top right corner of the pad, allowing you to charge your wireless mouse (using the Qi inductive charging standard). That means it will also work for any Qi-enabled devices, such as the new Samsung Galaxy S8.

Don't have an Android phone? Corsair has also knocked up a lightning-connected dongle that will plug into your iPhone and sit on the charging zone to charge your phone.

Here are the key features we've seen on the early Concept Zeus prototype:

Qi charging

Seven-button mouse with RGB lighting

Mouse connects via Bluetooth or 2.4Ghz

USB port at the back to plug in your mouse's wireless receiver

Connects to PC via 2 USB cables

Charging zone charges mouse, Qi-enabled phones or iPhone dongle.

It's early days for Concept Zeus so details are still thin -- for example, we don't yet know if the mouse and pad will be sold together or separately. But Corsair says we can expect a release in the second half of 2017 or, at the latest, January 2018.
