Raycon‘s US$59.99 Magic Mat Professional is a cool desktop product that helps cut back litter whereas charging an iPhone.
The Magic Mat Professional is spacious (extra on that in a minute) and sturdy, and sports activities one 15W wi-fi charging spot. Be aware the “one spot” element, which suggests, after all, that you simply an solely cost one gadget at a time. And because it’s “solely” 15W, it might take a few hours to totally cost your iPhone.
In fact, the Magic Mat Professional isn’t made for quick charging. It’s designed to cost your iPhone whereas it “rests” on the mat as you’re employed.
(To quick cost, you want an iPhone 15 mannequin with a USB-C cable just like the one which got here within the field or an earlier iPhone mannequin with a USB-C to Lightning cable and an adapter.)
The Magic Mat Professional isn’t actually magical. That’s, it may well’t magically cost your iPhone with out receiving its personal juice. Alas, the USB cable it comes with ISN’T USB-C, so that you’ll want an adapter to plug it into most up-to-date Macs. Or else you’ll must spring for a hub, which might solely add to the desktop litter the Raycon product is designed to eradicate.
I discussed spacious and the Magic Mat Professional is. It is available in an XL measurement (32.15” x 15.25”) offering loads of area for the charging pad, defending your desk, and serving as a really efficient mouse pad.
The Magic Mat Professional is manufactured from waterproof PU leather-based so can shield your desk from scratches, spills and warmth. It’s additionally straightforward to scrub.

General, the Magic Mat Professional is a well-designed, cheap accent for turning your desktop in a flexible workspace.
