Technical questions about Razer wireless mice

Which use the proprietary "Hyperspeed" wireless protocol and the newest sensor? Are there any in this category that can also use Bluetooth?

I'm looking for a really high quality mouse to carry around in my my backpack. It would be nice if it could be charged with USB-C or Micro-USB. And, of course, it has to work reasonably well with my Linux-only laptop, though I don't expect that will be a problem unless I want to customize things.

But, I want the wireless protocol to be encrypted. Proprietary is not encrypted. If Razer has put some thought into security then I might be willing to risk a non-published proprietary wireless protocol as I've found Bluetooth to be very disappointing for a variety of reasons.

If Razer hasn't, I hope someone reverse engineers the protocol and uses it to cheat in subtle ways by reading opponents' mouse movements.

The only mouse that fits into your main 2 requirements in this question is the Basilisk X HyperSpeed currently.
