Razer HyperFlux V2 Wireless Charging System review: $120 mouse pad


The HyperFlux V2 mouse pad is only compatible with five of Razer’s gaming mice at this time: Razer Basilisk V3 Pro 35K, Razer Basilisk V3 Pro, Razer Cobra Pro, Razer Cobra HyperSpeedand Razer Naga V2 Pro. Place any of them on top of the panel and it will automatically recharge.

The biggest problem was occasional warmth from the charging elements. The heat wasn’t strong enough to cause any concern, and it only happened intermittently when his energy was low (most likely) and he needed a boost, but it was warm enough to distract me. It’s worth noting that Razer does not recommend placing the HyperFlux V2 on metal surfaces (sorry to anyone who has Secretlab Magnus office).

The second ability of this mouse pad is to work like a wireless dongle. The HyperFlux can connect to both Razer mice and keyboards, which may help free up some USB ports if they run dry. It’s similar to having multiple Logitech peripherals connected to one device Logibolt receiver. But there’s a trade-off: many Razer mice are capable of 8,000Hz polling rates, the highest spec for gaming peripherals. This additional polling – the number of times the mouse contacts the computer per second – can be unlocked using HyperPolling donglebut it is not available here. This should be included in a mouse pad that costs this much.

Infinite life

Battery life is a fickle thing. The longevity of your mouse’s charge depends not only on usage, but also on settings. Increasing the polling rate or turning on RGB can significantly reduce battery life. However, mouse batteries have become so power-dense that even the battery in a lightweight mouse, like the Cobra HyperSpeed, is rated for up to 110 hours of use. Even with maximum settings, you probably won’t have to charge your mouse more than once a month unless you spend several hours gaming each day or work from home on a desktop.

My biggest concern was keeping a device with a 100 percent battery charged for too long. It’s a A surprisingly common issue With wireless mechanical keyboards at the moment, since some of them don’t have a way to differentiate between charging and using wired. In a worst-case scenario, this can cause the battery to swell over time. Keeping the battery fully charged and plugged in can also significantly reduce the battery’s maximum capacity over time. Fortunately, HyperFlux explains this: The battery can be limited to a certain capacity (I chose 80 percent for my testing), and after that point, the mouse pad will disable charging.
