Journey has launched the Alti Play, a wireless charging desk mat, which is now available to pre-order in the US. It follows the original Alti desktop accessory and offers a similar detachable wireless charging panel that allows you to charge two devices simultaneously. However, this version also offers a range of RGB lighting effects.

The Journey Alti Play Performance Desk Mat is now available to pre-order in the US. This desktop charging accessory builds on the original Alti, with the addition of RGB lighting to bring some ambient lighting to your space. On the left-hand side of the larger mat is the charging area. It is powered by USB-C and enables you to wirelessly charge up to two devices; there is a 15W Qi2-enabled charging pad for a phone and a second 5W charger for earbuds.

This detachable magnetic charging panel is surrounded by RGB lighting, which can be controlled via the two integrated buttons. You can cycle through nine colors, including a rainbow option, and six modes like snake, rainbow pulse and breathing. Plus, the brightness can be set to your choice of four levels. According to Journey, the color temperature ranges between 1,200 and 6,500K, and the LED is expected to last for around 50,000 hours.

The pad is said to be made with a textured micro-weave Lycra, which should be comfortable while offering a smooth surface for your mouse. The underside is coated with rubber to stop it from slipping. The total surface measures 900 x 400 x 4 mm (~35.4 x 15.7 x 0.2 inches), and the charging panel measures 400 x 100 x 7 mm (~15.7 x 3.9 x 0.3 inches). You can now pre-order the Journey Alti Play Performance Desk Mat for $149.99, making it $20 more expensive than the original Alti Wireless Charging Desk Mat. The accessory will ship here on February 12th, though it is unclear whether it will launch in other markets.
