The Elite picks up where the Chroma left off with the same user controlled custom lighting options comprised of up to 16.8 millions colors to illuminate both the logo and scroll wheel edges. Also the same are the 1000Hz ultrapolling, a seven foot braided cable, and the familiar shape and size that’s made it so popular. The updates start with resolution accuracy being upped to 99.4% via the eSports-grade 5G optical sensitivity where DPI sensitivity jump from 10,000 on the Chroma to 16,000 plus an inch per second tracking speed increase from 200 to 450. Razer dubs this as the world’s most advanced optical sensor with true 16,000 DPI resolution – not software interpolated. The addition of two more ‘hyperesponse’ buttons that align directly behind the scroll wheel up the total to seven and all are programmable, though by default these adjust the DPI sensitivity on the fly up and down by using the front and rear buttons respectively, so no need to jump over to software to make adjustments.
