Razer has just unveiled the latest addition to their popular Cobra line: the Razer Cobra HyperSpeed. Designed specifically for right-handed gamers, this new mouse aims to deliver a potent combination of performance, customisation, and immersive features, all wrapped up in a neatly compact package.
Tipping the scales at a mere 62 grammes, the Cobra HyperSpeed is built for fluid movement, accommodating a wide range of grip styles. It comes equipped with nine programmable controls and Razer’s AI Prompt Master, giving users the power to craft game-specific macros and shortcuts with ease. Plus, with onboard memory for up to five profiles, switching between different game setups and playstyles is a doddle.
Barrie Ooi, Head of Razer’s PC Gaming Division, weighed in on the new launch, stating: “Cobra HyperSpeed is the feature-packed, lightweight wireless mouse we’ve always envisioned for gamers—it’s loaded with optical technology across the sensor, scroll wheel, and mouse switches, along with Chroma RGB lighting, and delivers the perfect balance of performance and immersion.”
Under the hood, this mouse packs a punch. It’s powered by the Razer Focus X 26K Optical Sensor, offering a blistering 26,000 DPI and a superb 99.6% accuracy for consistently precise tracking. For those who love a bit of flair, the 4-zone Razer Chroma RGB lighting supports a staggering 16.8 million colours and dynamic effects that can even sync with over 300 games for a truly immersive experience.
Razer has also kitted out the Cobra HyperSpeed with their Optical Scroll Wheel, which boasts three times the durability of traditional mechanical designs, promising more precise and tactile control even during the most frantic gaming sessions. The upgraded Optical Mouse Switches Gen-4 have been meticulously redesigned to provide a crisp, enhanced click feel and are rated for an industry-leading 100 million clicks, guaranteeing unmatched longevity and reliability.
Versatile Connectivity
When it comes to connectivity, the Cobra HyperSpeed offers plenty of options. You’ve got Razer HyperSpeed Wireless (2.4 GHz) for ultra-low latency gaming, Bluetooth for broader compatibility, and a good old-fashioned wired USB Type-C mode. Battery life is impressive too, offering up to 110 hours on HyperSpeed and a whopping 170 hours on Bluetooth.
For those looking to go fully wireless with their charging, the Cobra HyperSpeed is also compatible with a range of optional upgrades, including:
- Razer HyperFlux V2 Wireless Charging System: For continuous wireless charging.
- Mouse Dock Pro: Enables a true 8000 Hz polling rate and enhanced RGB immersion.
- Wireless Charging Puck: Unlocks wireless charging on other compatible wireless chargers.
The Complete Cobra Line-up
The introduction of the Cobra HyperSpeed means Razer’s Cobra line is now fully fleshed out, offering a solution for every type of gamer, from casual users to serious competitive players. The HyperSpeed variant strikes a fine balance between a lightweight design, high-performance features, and versatile wireless connectivity.
For the enthusiasts who crave every last detail and maximum customisation, the Cobra Pro remains the top-tier option, offering advanced features and extensive Chroma RGB lighting. And for those who prefer a straightforward, no-fuss plug-and-play experience, the original wired Cobra is still available.
What We Think
Razer has a habit of delivering solid gaming peripherals, and the Cobra HyperSpeed looks to be no exception. The focus on a lightweight design while still packing in their latest optical tech for the sensor, scroll wheel, and switches is a smart move. The sheer number of programmable controls and onboard profiles is fantastic for serious gamers who switch between titles frequently. Plus, that 100-million-click rating on the switches is pretty much bomb-proof longevity. The versatile connectivity options are a massive bonus, making this mouse adaptable to almost any setup, and the potential for wireless charging upgrades is a nice touch for those who want to invest further into the Razer ecosystem.
