The Return of Wireless Charging for Gamers

Gamers rejoice! If you were a fan of Logitech's PowerPlay wireless charging, Razer has just unveiled its own game-changing alternative: the HyperFlux V2 Wireless Charging System. This innovative setup brings wireless charging capabilities to four of Razer's top-tier mice, including the Basilisk V3 Pro 35K, Basilisk V3 Pro, Cobra Pro, and Naga V2 Pro.

Convenience Meets Performance

The HyperFlux V2 not only simplifies charging but also enhances connectivity with HyperSpeed technology, allowing you to seamlessly connect both a mouse and a keyboard. Pairing is effortless; just place your compatible mouse on the charging mat, and voilà—it connects automatically! With two mat options available—hard or cloth—you can choose between a smooth glide or precision control.

Hands-On Experience: Smooth Sailing with Razer's Pro Mice

I had the pleasure of testing the hard surface version with the Basilisk V3 Pro 35K, and let me tell you, it glided effortlessly. However, my experience with the Razer Viper V3 Pro was slightly less impressive, and the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 also felt less smooth in comparison. Interestingly, even though the HyperFlux V2 charges the Logitech mouse successfully, it cannot establish a connection.

How It Works: Pucks and Pairing

Razer’s charging system features a unique puck setup—four mini dots at the bottom of the puck, compared to Logitech's side contacts. Both models boast a compact design, though swapping pucks isn't an option. There's also a handy storage compartment for the USB-A dongle in both mice, but with Razer’s system, you won’t even need the dongle since the mat handles it all.

Customization at Your Fingertips

Thanks to the Razer Synapse app, configuring your mouse is a breeze once it's paired. Just a heads-up: if your mouse appears offline, simply plug in the USB-A dongle to get it back up and running. The app allows for complete customization—from adjusting LED effects to fine-tuning DPI settings.

Charging Specifics and User Experience

The mat features an LED indicator to show charging status, but be mindful—colorblind users may struggle to interpret it under certain conditions. An added bonus is the charging limit option; you can set it to charge only up to 80% to extend your mouse’s battery lifespan.

Final Thoughts: A Competitive Edge for Gamers

Much like the Logitech PowerPlay, the Razer HyperFlux V2 keeps your mouse charged and ready for action, so you can game endlessly without the hassle of plugging in. Priced at S$179, it's just a tad more expensive than Logitech’s offering and includes a built-in dongle, but do note that it's compatible with only four Razer mice compared to the broader Logitech compatibility. Here’s hoping Razer expands the HyperFlux lineup in future models. Grab yours now from Razer, Shopee, Lazada, or Amazon SG!
