It also boasts a new wireless transmitter for reduced latency.

Razer just announced the pending availability of the DeathAdder V4 Pro gaming mouse, an upgrade to one of our favorite peripherals. The big news here is that this mouse ships with an optical scrolling wheel, and this is the first time Razer has used this tech.

The company says the wheel has been "purpose-built for esports." Just like optical switches on keyboards, optical scrolling wheels allow for more precision and durability when compared to their mechanical counterparts. Razer says it offers "triple the durability and consistent, tactile control even under intense gameplay."

This gadget also features newly-designed optical mouse switches, which feature a "crisp, enhanced click feel" along with a rating for 100 million clicks. The upgraded wireless transmitter should improve power efficiency by 63 percent and decrease latency by 37 percent, both of which are useful during intense competitive gaming sessions.

Razer says this mouse offers "flawless tracking across a wide range of surfaces," thanks to larger polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) feet. It boasts sensor accuracy of up to 45,000 DPI and tracking speeds up to 900 IPS. It's also incredibly light, with the black model weighing 56 grams and the white version weighing 57 grams.

The battery life has improved. We were impressed by the 90 hours that the V3 offered, but the company claims this one can go for 150 hours before requiring a charge. The Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro is available for preorder right now, with shipments going out on July 24. It costs $170.
