Razer revealed that they'd be pre-loading Windows 11 to two laptop computers starting today. The "new Razer Book" and Razer Blade 15 will be available from Razer online with Windows 11 pre-loaded from this point forward. The newest editions of the Razer Book and Razer Blade 15 will be available for purchase from the Razer store online starting this afternoon.
Razer has a rather massive catalog of gaming accessories across all device types, from keyboards to mice to controllers to headsets. For that last segment, its new Kaira family has become its headlining headset brand for both PCs and consoles. So far, however, those headsets leaned more towards the more expensive end of the spectrum, at least as far as their kind goes. Razer is now fixing that with the Razer Kaira X for the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, though it can really be used for any device because of its signature feature.
Razer today announced a new lineup of Huntsman keyboards. Appropriately named "Huntsman V2," the new lineup is comprised of both a full-sized keyboard and a tenkeyless model. Razer says that the Huntsman V2 is the "world's fastest keyboard," thanks to its optical switches and the inclusion of the company's HyperPolling technology, but the Huntsman V2 also seems to make some improvements to acoustics as well.
The Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma was revealed this week in preparation for launch for Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, and PC. This newest version of the original Wolverine works with a new design, a whole bunch of buttons, interchangeable thumbstick caps, and Chroma RGB lights aplenty. This new version of the controller will be made available direct rom Razer, at RazerStores, and at authorized retailers around the world.
Mobile gaming is a booming industry these days, and everyone and anyone wants to make a buck one way or another. From gaming smartphones to games themselves to accessories, the market is teeming with products aimed at capitalizing on that lucrative business. Not all of those products always make sense, though, even ones from renowned brands. From the company that brought you the triple-screen Project Valerie laptop concept and the Zephyr RGB face mask comes the Razer Gaming Finger Sleeve, promising to bring you victory by not letting your fingers slip up, quite literally too.
Razer today introduced the next gaming mouse in the Basilisk line. Aptly named the Razer Basilisk V3, this new entry keeps the features seen in its predecessors and offers a few upgrades alongside them. First and foremost, Razer is still targeting this at PC gamers who want to have a larger-than-usual selection of programmable buttons without necessarily going whole-hog and shelling out for a button-laden MMO mouse.
This week the folks at Razer are celebrating the release of Halo Infinite with a collection of new peripherals. These products are similar to their non-Halo iterations, here rolling with Mjolnir Powered Assault Armor aplenty. Each of these products comes with Halo Infinite "bonus in-game content" as well. Appearing today are the Kaira Pro, BlackWidow V3, DeathAdder V2, and a Goliathus for good measure.
The chair game at Razer ramped up once again with a couple of new versions of original models. Now there are six - with a few different iterations of each. There's the Razer Iskur, Iskur X, and Iskur Fabric. There's a Razer Iskur XL, Iskur X XL, and Iskur Fabric XL. That makes 6 base models - and there are color options in Dark Gray, Black, and Green, depending on which model you're looking at.
Microsoft today dropped a bomb at Gamescom 2021's Opening Night Live event by announcing Halo Infinite's release date, but as it turns out, that wasn't the only major announcement the company had up its sleeve. Microsoft also confirmed that the Xbox Series X will be getting a limited edition makeover to celebrate Halo's 20th anniversary. For those who don't want to spend quite so much but still want to commemorate the occasion, there will also be a limited edition Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller.
Although Microsoft has been working tirelessly to remove that stigma, Windows still retains the image of an operating system that is almost too easy to compromise. Many such exploits occur on the remote end when people click on suspicious links or download software from unofficial sources. There comes a time, however, that an exploit happens almost too easily, like when you plug in a Razer mouse that, in turn, starts a process that will let almost anyone with physical access to the computer get system-level administrator control.
There's a lot of money to be made in mobile gaming, but most of the media attention tends to focus on esports titles like MOBAs and battle royales. There are, of course, dozens if not hundreds of other mobile games in the market that may be just as addictive even while categorized as casual. Razer, however, wants to turn those casual games into something just as aggressive and exciting with its Cortex Instant Games Tournaments that turns these casual or "hyper-casual" games into a kind of competitive esport.
Razer took things up a notch with a pair of earbuds today, adding Razer Chroma RGB lighting and ANC to the mix. This is the second generation of the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless earbuds, bringing the pair up to modernity with "feed forward ANC" with dual environmental noise cancelling (ENC) microphones. And they have lights. Little RGB lights in your ears, so you can be sure everyone around you knows you absolutely cannot hear what they are saying and do not want to be disturbed.
