“Haha, Razer likes in an effort to add RGB lights to stuff.” It’s a straightforward shaggy dog epic to salvage for a tech reporter, and I confess that I’ve indulged in it extra than once. But to give an clarification for the truth, Razer’s products are on the whole very aesthetic and distinctive, and lately they’ve been the usage of RGB lighting as refined accents somewhat than an up-front selling point. However the Firefly V2 Pro mouse pad is all-RGB, the whole time.
Razer has made USB-connected, RGB-infused mousepads sooner than, to the purpose that that it’s seemingly you’ll now fetch imitators on Amazon for handsome a couple of bucks. On the whole they handsome embed a strip of lights around the fringe of a material mousepad, enjoy the long-established Firefly. The fresh Firefly V2 Pro replaces the cloth with a exhausting, frosted flooring (presumably some extra or less plastic), permitting the fifteen LEDs within the head to raise darkness out of your whole aspect.
Does it add any functionality? Unnecessary to claim no longer. Does it glance chilly? Yeah, I if truth be told ought to grudgingly admit that it does. I wouldn’t be shocked to study it in some TV sci-fi sets, which love to stay Razer equipment in a “hacker battlestation” to give it that futuristic touch.
And to be handsome to Razer, they’re doing a little extra than the minimum with that connection, adding an constructed-in USB 2.0 port and making the USB-C energy cable detachable. The promotional textual boom material says that the lights obtained’t intervene with laser or optical mice due to the the textured flooring of the pad. Naturally that it’s seemingly you’ll alter and program the lights within the Razer Chroma tool.
Razer needs $99.99 for the Firefly V2 Pro. That’s rather a couple of dosh for a mousepad, in particular one which’s on the smaller aspect at 10.95 by 14.17 inches (278 by 360mm). But perchance it’s a little build to pay to flip a couple of heads for your favourite subreddit.
