Razer Announces HyperFlux Wireless Power Technology
Razer debuts world’s first battery-less wireless gaming mouse with the Razer Mamba HyperFlux and Razer Firefly HyperFlux power mat, allowing for seamless uninterrupted power transfer from a HyperFlux-enabled mouse mat to its companion mouse.
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.
“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,” says Min-Liang Tan, Razer co-founder and CEO. “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.
The Razer HyperFlux wireless hardware combo is available on RazerStore.com and select retailers in Q1 2018.

Wow, you'd have to be pretty stupid to buy one of those mice. Is Razer serious right now? $250 for a mouse that you can only use with their mouse pad. Let that sink in.
If you have your own large mouse mat, as a lot of us do, this mouse won't work with that because it won't receive power because apparently $250 is not enough to cover the cost of a battery.
I don't understand why anyone with a brain would buy this razer mouse when there are options like the G603, 703, and 903 from logitech. Those mice are significantly cheaper, track just as good if not better, and they include batteries.
Take the G703 for example. This is the mouse I own. I can use this with Logitech's powerplay mouse mat OR I can use it with my own mousepad, because it includes a battery. I got it for $80 new. I can buy 3 Logitech G703 mice for the price of one of these Razer's...

@AngelOfHavoc
for the same reasons why ppl drive to work in a 1M$ lambo/porsche.
cause they can (and have the money).
ever played a fps on high sensitivity with a wireless mouse using aa/aaa vs a wired one?
just switching from a rechargeable 2500mAh to a 1000mAh saved me almost half its weight, which means i have less mass to move (around)
and less mass to put in "motion".
a little cheaper and the mousepad 2-3 times larger, and im interested..

I just bought one when they had it in stock. So far...I'm loving it.
I previously had the Mamba Chroma and Firefly, and I honestly got tired of having to charge the mouse all the time. Sometimes I'd forget and it would flash red and I'd have to plug it in or set it on the charger. It would take hours to charge fully. I'm sure all that charging isn't good on the electric bill either.
The Hyperflux doesn't need to charge and has no battery. It's very light weight and basically comes with a mouse mat. I had to switch over to Snyapse 3.0 to use it, and it has some new cool features like turning off the lights when idle, and not just when the screen turns off. I ended up getting the Blackwidow Chroma V2 as well and will pass on my Blackwidow Chroma + Mamba +Firefly to my mom.
It's not for everyone and is pretty pricey, but NEVER having to charge a wireless mouse again, especially a Razer mouse makes my life a little easier. And you know what they say...it's the little things.

Looks interesting, I like the idea of no battery but the price is ridiculous for a mouse even if it includes the mousepad.
