Razer HyperFlux V2 Wireless Charging System Review: A $120 Mousepad

The HyperFlux V2 mousepad is currently compatible with five of Razer’s gaming mice: Razer Basilisk V3 Pro 35K, Razer Basilisk V3 Pro, Razer Cobra Pro, Razor Cobra HyperspeedAnd Razer Naga V2 Pro. Pop any of these onto the pad and they’ll automatically recharge.

The biggest issue was the occasional warmth from the charging element. The heat wasn’t strong enough to cause any concern, and it only happened occasionally when the mouse was low on power (probably) and needed a boost, but it was warm enough to distract me. It’s worth noting that Razer doesn’t recommend placing the HyperFlux V2 on metal surfaces (sorry to anyone Secretlab Magnus desk)

The second capability of this mousepad is to act as a wireless dongle. The Hyperflux Razer can connect to both a mouse and keyboard, which can help free up some USB ports if you’re short. This is similar to having multiple Logitech peripherals connected to one Logie bolt receiver. But there’s a tradeoff: Many of Razer’s mice are capable of 8,000-Hz polling rates, a top-of-the-line feature for gaming peripherals. This extra polling—the number of times per second the mouse interacts with the computer—can be unlocked Hyperpoling dongleBut it is not available here. This should be included in a mousepad that costs this much.

Battery life is a fickle thing. The longevity of your mouse charge depends not only on usage but also on settings. Increasing the polling rate or cranking up the RGB can significantly reduce battery life. However, mouse batteries have become so energy-dense that even lightweight mouse batteries like the Cobra HyperSpeed ​​are rated for up to 110 hours of use. Even with the highest settings, you probably won’t need to charge your mouse more than once a month unless you’re gaming multiple hours per day or working from home on your desktop.

My biggest concern was keeping a device with a battery at 100 percent charge for long periods of time. This is one Surprisingly common problem Right now with wireless mechanical keyboards, since some of them don’t have a way to differentiate between charging and wired use. In the worst case scenario, it can cause the battery to swell over time. Leaving a battery fully charged and plugged in can significantly reduce the battery’s maximum capacity over time. Fortunately, HyperFlux accounts for this: the battery can be limited to a certain capacity (I chose 80 percent for my tests), and after that point, the mousepad will disable charging.
