Razer's new Lancehead aims to be your go-to wireless mouse for gaming

Razer's latest Chroma-infused gaming mouse is here, and it's seeking to take the wireless mouse market by storm. Called the Lancehead, the new mouse is geared towards solving any potential connectivity problems posed by typical wireless mice, all in an effort to give gamers a solid wireless option.

The big draw with the Lancehead is what Razer is calling Adaptive Frequency Technology (AFT). Razer is promising "100% transmission stability" with AFT by constantly scanning frequency channels for any form of interference. If interference is detected, AFT automatically switches frequency on the fly to keep the signal clear.

Aside from AFT, the Lancehead packs a 16,000 DPI laser sensor that can track 210 inches per second. Razer's own mechanical mouse switches are also on board for a tactile feel with the mouse's nine buttons, and adjustable Chroma lighting accents are featured throughout to match the rest of your Razer setup. All of your settings can, of course, be synced through Razer's Synapse software.

We'll have to wait and see if Razer's AFT tech lives up to its promises, but the Lancehead is already looking tempting if you're into the company's typically aggressive design. The Lancehead will start shipping in May for $140 and a wired version will be available for $80. You can learn more and sign up for availability notifications at Razer's website now.
