"As far as all-around wireless gaming mice go, you can't ask for more than what the Razer Cobra HyperSpeed has to offer. With a lightweight frame, clicky switches, three extra programmable buttons, support for both 2.4-GHz and Bluetooth connectivity, 1,000-Hz polling (optional 8,000-Hz), and a sensor with a max resolution of 26,000 dpi, this mouse can handle any game you throw at it. The only thing you have to get past is Razer's gamer-focused styling, which may not mesh well with every desk setup."
"One of the main differentiators and selling points of the Cobra HyperSpeed is the use of optical components throughout, including the sensor, switches, and even the scroll wheel. Razer claims optical sensors are more accurate and longer-lasting than mechanical ones, while reducing latency when registering an input. In my experience, the optical equipment will feel just as responsive as standard mechanical switches, but with fewer anomalies. The difference is very minor, but can be noticeable if you're looking for it."
"While $100 is steep for a mouse, I'm disappointed to say that it's becoming more common. Mice with top-of-the-line performance are priced upwards of $150 in both the ultra-lightweight gaming space and the world of productivity-oriented peripherals. Because of that, the Cobra HyperSpeed's price doesn't seem that bad. It's expensive, but it's a much better deal than higher-end models with diminishing returns."
The Razer Cobra HyperSpeed pairs a lightweight frame with a precise sensor and clicky optical switches to deliver responsive wireless gaming performance. The mouse supports 2.4-GHz and Bluetooth connectivity, offers 1,000-Hz polling with an optional 8,000-Hz upgrade, and reaches up to 26,000 dpi. Optical components are used across the sensor, switches, and scroll wheel for reduced latency and fewer anomalies. The design includes three extra programmable buttons, a small USB dongle, and accurate RGB colors, but customization is limited and the model is only available in black. Pricing sits around $100, positioned as competitive against higher-priced alternatives.
