The problem with wireless chargers is you have to keep a thing sitting around vs a cable you can shove off to the side. I too bought a bunch but lost interest in using them as they were in the way.
- WWLink 4y agoI have a nice charging pad on my desk under my monitor. I have a few phones that I use right now (one for work, one personal, one is a gadget), and it's really nice to just plop them on there when they're at like 50%. The slow charging is fine by me. Fast charging wears the battery out faster. With this, I don't have to worry about lightning vs usb-c or whatever. I don't have to worry about my work phone trying to share data with my computer. I don't have to worry about annoying programs trying to sync with my personal phones lol.
- Bluestrike2 4y agoPersonally, I have the opposite problem: whenever I push a cable off to the side, it'll inevitably fall down behind the desk/cabinet/side table/whatever. Clips can help, but it can still be a minor nuisance. That said, your complaint isn't uncommon. I build furniture on the side, and have built a couple desks and night stands with built-in wireless chargers for people who wanted everything hidden and out of the way. The charger gets mounted from the underside so that nothing is visible, and I inlay a marker--something like a ring or bowtie inlay--on the surface so you know where to align your phone. I've also seen chargers on the market that can be mounted into a hole you drill or are sized to fit standard wire grommet holes common on most desks for sale. That's way less fun (IMO), but anyone can install them with a few minutes and a hole saw (or an existing grommet hole, if it fits). No clue if you can find Magsafe ones, but I'd assume so.
