Razer’s latest gaming mouse, the Viper 8KHz, will ping your PC 8,000 times per second in an effort to deliver a truly lag-free experience.

Is this a gimmick, or something that will make a real difference?

Razer’s patented HyperPolling Technology is what enables this level of control precision. At 8,000Hz, the Razer Viper 8KHz surpasses the response frequency of an average gaming mouse by a factor of eight. Razer claims this will translate to an eightfold improvement in terms of input delay, down to one-eighth of a millisecond (0.125ms). Granted, that might not make a huge difference at the Silver IV tier of CS: GO. But that shouldn’t matter, since the Viper 8KHz is targeted at the highest echelons of competitive gaming where even the smallest advantages can mean the difference between victory and defeat.

U.S. consumers can already purchase the Razer Viper 8KHz – either directly from the company or one of its authorized resellers. The cutting-edge gaming mouse is priced at $79.99. You’ll be able to fine-tune its performance and RGB profiles via the Razer Synapse 3 app, as is the case with every other contemporary Razer peripheral. Assuming this product launch is a success, the Viper 8KHz likely won’t be the last mouse with HyperPolling support that Razer releases.

The Razer Blade 17 is how Razer is calling its latest high-performance Windows laptop, officially unveiled for the United States earlier today. This is a new edition of the most popular laptop lineup from Razer to date, which refers to the 17-inch display category.

As that tends to be the most popular combination of screen real estate and portability among consumers interested in no-compromise ultrabooks, highly compact computers that are still suitable for carrying around without much effort. The Razer Blade 17 uses Intel’s 8-core i7 processor line up to the 10th-generation i7-10875H CPU.

It pairs this processor powerhouse with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Super graphics card in its most expensive configuration, as well as a 17.3-inch display offering an insane, 300Hz refresh rate, also courtesy of the said NVIDIA tech. Of course, don’t expect a 300Hz refresh rate from any 4K mode, but 4K 120Hz functionality isn’t anything to scoff at – we are still talking about a laptop, after all.

Now, for the worst part – the fact that this thing, in all its high-tech glory, will indeed cost an arm and a leg to acquire. Razer already confirmed U.S. pricing starts at $2,599.99, and that is before any sales tax you might be required to pay.

Razer launched its latest gaming mouse in the form of the Razer Naga Pro earlier today. The company is well-known for its high-end gaming accessories and PC peripherals, and the Naga Pro definitely fits quite nicely into both of those categories.

Meaning you can expect a high-quality build with some unique selling points, the most notable of which is a new modular design which allows users to switch in and out of certain hardware setups, depending on their current requirements on a case-by-case basis. Pun intended, because the Razer Naga Pro will be launching alongside three cases for specific in-game use cases and setups.

All three of these side plates are magnetic, which should make adding and removing them as simple as possible. The plates offer a choice between two, six, and 12 programmable buttons. The first option is said to have been designed with FPS games in mind, whereas the six-button one should be ideal for MOBA and Battle Royale players.

Finally, the 12-button setup exists to cater to RTS and MMO games with a large number of custom action possibilities and shortcuts any given playstyle requires. The Naga Pro is compatible with Razer Hypershift customization software and can be purchased in the U.S. as of today, priced at $149.99 plus applicable sales tax.
