Razer Mamba Hyperflux will change the way you think about wireless mice
You may be wondering why, of all the things announced at CES 2018, I'm writing about a new gaming mouse. It's not just a mouse: it's the latest Razer PC device, and it's a revolution in technical design and proficiency.
In fact, Razer Mamba Hyperflux and its companion - Firefly Hyperflux matrix matrix - could potentially change how ALL wireless peripherals work. Thanks to Hyperflux Firefly, Mamba Hyperflux is a completely battery-free wireless mouse.
Instead of pulling rechargeable or replaceable batteries that are clumsy, the system uses a coil around Firefly Hyperflux mats to provide direct wireless power to the mouse. Do not confuse this with wireless charging; Not that at all. If you disconnect your mouse from a mat for more than ten seconds or more, it will lose costs and switch off. The Firefly Pad turns on the mouse directly.
By removing the battery, Razer manages to overcome the main problem that many players have with wireless gaming mouse. While the Razer wireless Mamba mouse currently weighs about 125g Hyperflux comes under 100g. That may not sound like much, but for pro level gamers, this is a big difference. Razer has also made significant efforts to ensure no less in terms of accuracy, equipping Mamba with the same optical sensor as Razer Deathadder.
This is not the end of the Razer plan line for battery-free peripherals; "Hyperflux" is set to be first in the new range. No word yet on the details, but I hope the Hyperflux keyboard arrives in time and may also be a way to send the wireless charge to the Razer headset or game controller even further. I also expect many other manufacturers to follow suit.
