Razer Atheris Wireless Mouse
Kicking off our list of gadgets is the Razer Atheris Wireless mouse. As the name says, the Razer Atheris is a wireless mouse. What we found interesting about the Razer Atheris is that it has inbuilt Bluetooth so you can just pair it with a laptop with no additional adapters. However, if you have a laptop or desktop with no Bluetooth, you can also use the included 2.4Ghz Adapter which has adaptive frequency technology. This keeps the device from being interrupted by any other device on the same wavelength.
Razer states that the Atheris has a continuous usage time of 350 hours via Bluetooth on a piar of AA batteries. This can and will vary based on your usage. If you’re a gamer on the go, you’ll be happy to note that the Atheris has an ambidextrous design with a 7,200 DPI optical sensor. It also has 5 independently programmable buttons and comes with support for Razer Synapse. This means you can save your settings to the mouse and then plug it to any device and you’re good to go.
