Razer says its wireless Lancehead mouse is reliable enough for esports

Razer claims that its new mouse outperforms “every other wireless gaming mouse” on the market, and it is positioning this new device at the high end of the price spectrum as well as a viable option for pro gamers.

The company is launching the Lancehead and Lancehead Tournament Edition gaming mice today for $140 and $80, respectively. The Lancehead is a wireless mouse that uses what Razer is calling “Adaptive Frequency Technology,” where the radio receiver jumps from channel to channel depending on interference. The company claims this is different from other wireless mice because it does this channel switching without lag or information loss. It also uses a laser sensor. The Tournament Edition is the wired variation of this mouse that uses an optical sensor. Both devices, however, use the same body and the mechanical mouse switches that Razer designed in cooperation with Omron.
