Razer has announced that its 4000Hz Hyperpolling Wireless tech which is only previously available to the BlackWidow V4 Pro 75%, can now be experienced in another 3 keyboards thanks to the latest update.
The handpicked models are the BlackWidow V4 TKL HyperSpeed, BlackWidow V4 Low-Profile HyperSpeed, and BlackWidow V4 Low-Profile TKL HyperSpeed, and as long as you rock the HyperPolling Wireless Dongle in your setup (for your existing Razer mouse or something), then just update the keyboard firmware via Synapse 4.
Here are the steps provided by the folks:
- How to Update Keyboard Firmware
- Launch Razer Synapse 4.
- Look for a prompt in the top-right corner or through a “Firmware update available” link under the keyboard tab.
- Follow the link to the Razer Support site “Software and Firmware Updates for Razer Peripherals” to download and install the necessary updates for your supported keyboard model.
- Pair with HyperPolling Wireless Dongle
- Ensure Synapse 4 is updated to the latest.
- Navigate to the HyperPolling Wireless Dongle tab, initiate the pairing process.
- Select “compatible keyboard” in the new interface.
- Synapse will check and update the dongle’s firmware where necessary.
- Once updated, follow the guided steps to complete the pairing process.
With all the hype surrounding the absolute king of 8K polling, 4K on the other hand, will be more than sufficient for most people that comes from 1K polling while keeping up with the competitive advantage, and since the device runs off their internal battery, choosing 4K over 8K provides an astounding extension to the battery life, which can be a worthwhile trade.
