IKEA’s new wireless charging pad is here and you really want it. We have the first images and the reason why you also go for this charger.
Everyone is now used to working from home. All day long behind your laptop with your smartphone at hand. Wouldn’t it be handy to charge your smartphone without all those annoying cables? Yes of course! And IKEA thought exactly the same and now comes with a new gadget.
IKEA’s new wireless charging pad
The company has just shown the ‘Sjömärke’. This is a $40 wireless charging pad designed to work with almost any desk or table, as The Verge reported. The gadget is brilliant in simplicity. IKEA is often known for this. Sjömärke is a Wireless Qi charging pad, but you don’t place it on your desk. No, you can easily install it underneath.
The device is held in place by double-sided tape (included) or 18mm x 6mm screws (not included). Your desktop must meet some requirements. It must be made of, for example, wood or plastic that does not block the magnetic field. In addition, it must have a minimum thickness of 8 mm (5/16 inch) and maximum 22.2 mm (7/8 inch). inch), according to the manual.

Once you’ve installed the pad, connect it with the 6-foot power cable and mark the charging point on your table with the included “X”-shaped sticker. You have to put your phone on it just right, that’s why. With Qi 1.2.4 charging, it should deliver about 5 watts for decent, but not super-fast, charging. IKEA notes that it also comes with temperature and power monitoring so it doesn’t overheat – important, since it’s placed against wooden surfaces.
The device can be bought in October in many countries. Hopefully, the Netherlands will also be part of this. Check out the images here!
