Razer unveils potential solution to eliminate wireless gaming mouse charging hassles, potentially achieving success with the latest attempt.
In the year of 2018, gaming giants Razer gave us a unique combo- a wireless charging mouse-mousepad duo, but it was limited and pricey. Fast-forward to today, Razer is back with the HyperFlux V2, aiming to set the bar higher.
Unlike its predecessor, the HyperFlux V2 isn't crafted just for the Mamba mouse. Instead, it's designed to expand compatibility, making it more suitable for a wide array of mice. For this test, I'm rocking the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro 35K, and the set up was a piece of cake.
To integrate the charging puck with the Basilisk V3 Pro, you simply remove the round panel from the mouse's underbelly and place the puck in its stead. Now, you can slip this bad boy onto the HyperFlux V2 and keep it charged as long as it's in use. Razer's Basilisk V3 Pro, Cobra Pro, and Naga V2 Pro are currently compatible, with hopes that future releases will follow suit.
Razer has put thought into enhancing the user experience with the HyperFlux V2. Instead of the mousepad itself charging the mouse, they've made the pad the receiver, requiring only a drop to connect with your PC. No dongles needed! Plus, the HyperFlux V2 can also act as a receiver for compatible Razer HyperSpeed keyboards, freeing up a USB port on your PC.
Priced at $119.99, the HyperFlux V2 is significantly cheaper than its initial iteration. Both hard and cloth surface versions have been rolled out, but only the former is available starting from June 3, with the cloth version following suit on August 7. Stay tuned for my detailed thoughts on the HyperFlux V2 in the upcoming days! Early impressions are positive, and I'm optimistic that this time Razer might have a winner on their hands.
