Razer Expands Wireless 4000Hz HyperPolling to Three More Keyboards
Razer has expanded the availability of its wireless 4000 Hz HyperPolling technology to three additional keyboards, further enhancing input speeds for competitive gaming. Originally introduced with the BlackWidow V4 Pro 75%, the feature is now supported on the BlackWidow V4 Tenkeyless HyperSpeed, the BlackWidow V4 Low-Profile HyperSpeed, and the BlackWidow V4 Low-Profile Tenkeyless HyperSpeed.
The company emphasized that its True 4000 Hz wireless polling brings near-instant responsiveness to gaming keyboards, reducing latency to just 0.25 ms compared to the standard 1 ms at 1000 Hz via conventional 2.4 GHz wireless connections. While high polling rates such as 4000 Hz and 8000 Hz have traditionally only been possible in wired setups, Razer’s implementation of 4K wireless delivers a significant competitive advantage, offering four times the data transmission per second without the need for cables.
However, Razer does acknowledge that higher polling rates can have a noticeable impact on battery life, which will be the trade-off for players who prioritize maximum speed.
For existing owners of the supported keyboards, the upgrade to 4000 Hz is available via a firmware update through Razer Synapse 4 when paired with the HyperPolling Wireless Dongle. The 8K HyperPolling dongle, priced at $39 on the Razer Store, is compatible with a wide range of Razer mice and keyboards.
The update process is straightforward:
Ensure Razer Synapse 4 is updated to the latest version.
Navigate to the HyperPolling Wireless Dongle tab and begin pairing.
Select “compatible keyboard” in the interface.
Synapse will verify and update dongle firmware if required.
Complete the guided steps to finish the pairing process.
By extending 4000 Hz wireless support to more of its flagship keyboards, Razer continues to push competitive-grade wireless technology forward, closing the performance gap with wired peripherals while giving players the freedom of a wireless setup.
Do you think higher polling rates like 4000 Hz make a noticeable difference in real gameplay, or are they mostly for esports-level performance?
