Razer Enhances Existing Gaming Mice Lineup With 8000 Hz Wireless Polling

In the world of gaming, staying stagnant at the same level is never an option.At Razer, our focus has always been on continuous improvement, pushing the boundaries of what's possible, and delivering the best for our loyal community. Today, we're sharing the latest advancement we've made to our line of gaming mice, reinforcing our commitment to technological leadership.

Razer's Legacy of Technological Dominance
From the beginning, Razer has been at the forefront of technology and innovation. In recent years, we've introduced groundbreaking features like the Razer Focus Pro 30K Optical Sensor, Optical Mouse Switches Gen-3, and the Razer HyperPolling Wireless technology. While we always have an eye on the future and the next new products, we are equally passionate about refining our existing lineup, ensuring that our users always have the best in their hands.
Razer's Unwavering Commitment to Innovation
In 2021, we introduced the fastest wired technology with the Razer Viper 8 KHz, featuring a true 8000 Hz polling rate. In 2022, we innovated further with the introduction of HyperPolling Wireless. This technology achieved a true 4000 Hz wireless rate, coupled with the Razer HyperPolling Wireless Dongle and Razer Mouse Dock Pro.

In April 2023, we set a new benchmark with the 8000 Hz HyperPolling Wireless update for the Viper Mini Signature Edition.

As a testament to this commitment, we're thrilled to announce our latest upgrade: the extension of the true 8000 Hz wireless polling rate to an even wider selection of our gaming mice, further reinforcing our reputation as pioneers in the gaming tech industry.

True 8000 Hz Wireless Polling Technology Extends to More Razer Gaming Mice
In layman's terms, Razer's HyperPolling gear with an 8000 Hz polling rate can transmit up to 8 times more data every second from the mouse to your PC. This translates to drastically reduced input delays, from the typical 1 ms down to just 0.125 ms.

Coupled with the ultra-low latency of our Razer HyperSpeed Wireless technology, this ensures that you have the most responsive and reliable connection ever experienced in gaming. In practice, this results in smoother cursor movements, impeccable accuracy, and the elimination of any micro-stutters. And for those who love tweaking settings, our Razer Synapse software lets you adjust the polling rate to your liking, from 125 Hz all the way to 8000 Hz, allowing you to tailor your mouse's performance to individual games.

To upgrade a Razer HyperPolling compatible gaming mouse, users must ensure they have the latest version of Razer Synapse installed.

Once updated, within the main Synapse dashboard, users will notice a link under their HyperPolling compatible device indicating "Firmware update available". By clicking on this link, they'll be redirected to Razer.com where the firmware updater can be downloaded.

This update applies to owners of the Viper V2 Pro, DeathAdder V3 Pro, Cobra Pro, Basilisk V3 Pro, and Viper V3 HyperSpeed and is rolling out starting from today, 6th November 2023, 8am PT.

Its such a marketing gimmick. If you aren't playing on 350+hz you won't even notice 1k to 2k difference, let alone 2k to 4k and to 8k.

I don't know anyone that has ever had that issue with a mouse, unless there's some kind of wireless interference or the sensor is covered up by crud/cat hair/dust/chewing gum/etc or you use it some weird surface the mouse can't track properly on.

ahahahahah ¿1000hz microstutter? hahahahah

it's all nice that they got the technical achievement of 8000hz.... focus on that instead on ridiculous bullshit wanketing...

Also, ¿does razer know that you can also get microstutters at 8000hz?, ¿do they even know that stuttering is caused by jitter and not by the refresh rate?

no no no, at 8000Hz there are no microstutters, they are called nanostutters.
