Razer recently announced the Razer Mamba HyperFlux, the world’s first battery-less gaming mouse, together with the Razer FireFly HyperFlux power mat. Both devices are built with what the company calls “HyperFlux Wireless Power Technology” that allows for seamless uninterrupted power transfer from a HyperFlux-enabled mouse mat to its companion mouse. Both are really interesting gaming peripherals, I just hope they live up to their expectations and will endure the test of time. Both the Razer Mamba HyperFlux and FireFly HyperFlux will become available this Q1 2018 and will have a retail price of $250 for the HyperFlux combo. Check out more details below.
Razer Announces HyperFlux Wireless Power Technology
Unlike other attempts to create wireless power for a mouse, the new Razer HyperFlux technology allows the mouse mat to create a magnetic field that efficiently transfers power directly to its companion mouse instead of charging a heavy battery. The technology is the world’s first to provide power directly to the mouse and eliminates the need for a battery. The result is an ultra-lightweight wireless gaming mouse with a weight that’s traditionally only achieved by wired mice. The Razer Mamba HyperFlux and the Razer Firefly HyperFlux are Razer’s first products to be equipped with this revolutionary technology.
According to Min-Liang Tan, Razer co-founder and CEO: “While other companies have attempted to do wireless charging for mice, they have been unable to achieve true wireless power as their mice still need a battery to be charged. HyperFlux Wireless Power Technology is a game changer in the world of wireless gaming,”. “Gamers are no longer held at the mercy of a battery or cable. Instead, there will be true wireless freedom with a cordless gaming mouse that’s the same weight as a wired mouse.”
The Razer Mamba HyperFlux is also equipped with Razer’s proprietary Adaptive Frequency Technology (AFT) for superior signal strength. This ensures industry-leading wireless signal stability between the mouse and computer by adaptively scanning and switching to the strongest signal within the 2.4 GHz frequency band. Combined with a 16,000 dots-per-inch (DPI) 5G optical sensor, the Razer Mamba HyperFlux is a top-tier wireless gaming mouse with swift and precise movements, that never needs charging.
The Razer Firefly HyperFlux is the latest evolution in Razer’s award-winning RGB mouse mat line. It features a dual-sided hard and cloth surface that allows for flexible playstyles. Gamers can opt to use the hard side for speedy mouse actions or the cloth side for control and precision aiming. When connected, the mat supplies indefinite power to the mouse, allowing for smooth, unceasing gameplay.
Powered by Razer ChromaTM lighting technology, both devices have access to 16.8 million color options and are capable of unique customizable lighting profiles and in-game effects.
