Fan favourite Razer gaming mouse could be getting an upgrade, new leak suggests

Rumors of a brand new Razer gaming mouse are hotting up, thanks to a brand new leak. While the company hasn't confirmed anything so far, new images have appeared online that seemingly show off a brand new Razer Blackadder V4 Pro, an upgrade to the original Blackadder that's a popular choice for gamers.

If Razer is working on a new Blackadder, it isn't a total surprise. We reported on a potential Razer Blackadder V4 Pro sighting when it was being used by Counter-Strike 2 pro NiKo during a tournament just a few months ago, with the company declining to comment at the time. Razer might not have made its plans clear yet, but this latest leak shows off a mouse that could be a strong contender as one of the best gaming mouse options out there, especially for fans of its no-frills design, if it can improve enough on the original.

The leaked images, originally shared on X (formerly Twitter) by hitoshi_1107, show off a black Razer mouse with a design very reminiscent of the Blackadder V3, the most recent model, while also eschewing the more dramatic black and white pattern spotted on RiKo's esports model.

The post was later shared by regular hardware leaker harukaze5719, alongside the caption "Blackadder V4 Pro leaked," with the product name also spotted on the underside of the mouse itself in the leaked images.

A new Blackadder could be a strong entry into the market. In our Razer Blackadder V3 review, we gave it high marks for its hugely lightweight, ergonomic design, with Razer boosting its specs further with the newer Blackadder V3 Pro, even if the price wasn't hugely competitive.

These images appear to show that Razer isn't tweaking with what works on the design front, but we'll have to wait for the company to officially announce this mouse before we get a clear idea of how its specs (and price) line up to the V3 Pro.
