Razer brings 4000 Hz HyperPolling wireless performance to more BlackWidow keyboards, pushing competitive gaming responsiveness beyond the usual 1000 Hz limit found on most 2.4 GHz setups. Originally introduced on the BlackWidow V4 Pro, the company’s True 4000 Hz wireless polling is now rolling out to three additional models: BlackWidow V4 Tenkeyless (TKL) HyperSpeed, BlackWidow V4 Low-Profile HyperSpeed, and BlackWidow V4 Low-Profile Tenkeyless (TKL) HyperSpeed.
What this means for gamers is simple: faster, more consistent input with dramatically reduced latency. A typical wireless polling rate of 1000 Hz translates to around 1 ms of input delay. At 4000 Hz, the keyboard reports four times as often, cutting that latency to approximately 0.25 ms. For fast-paced shooters and esports titles where every millisecond matters, that added responsiveness can be a real advantage—all without tethering to a cable.
There is one trade-off: higher polling rates draw more power, so expect a greater impact on battery life when running at 4000 Hz. For those who want the option, this upgrade can be enabled through firmware and the right accessory.
How to enable 4000 Hz HyperPolling on supported BlackWidow V4 keyboards
– Make sure you have the HyperPolling Wireless Dongle. It’s sold separately and supports a wide range of the brand’s mice and keyboards.
– Update to the latest version of Razer Synapse 4.
– Open Synapse and go to the HyperPolling Wireless Dongle tab to start pairing.
– Select your compatible keyboard when prompted.
– If needed, Synapse will update the dongle’s firmware automatically.
– Follow the on-screen steps to complete pairing and enable 4000 Hz wireless polling.
With this expansion to the BlackWidow V4 TKL HyperSpeed, BlackWidow V4 Low-Profile HyperSpeed, and BlackWidow V4 Low-Profile TKL HyperSpeed, more players can experience ultra-low-latency, high-performance wireless typing that rivals wired setups—ideal for competitive gaming, fast reactions, and precise inputs.
