You may have already heard of optical mice, which have been around for decades. You may have even heard of optical keyboards, which have also been around for quite a while, at least on desktops. Razer, however, claims to have one-upped its rivals and, by extension, allows its users to gain an "unfair" advantage over their competition.

Razer calls their Razer Raion controller a "fightpad" because it's aimed primarily for games that aim for the KO.

Documents pointing toward Apple's use of LED lights on an iPhone suggest that Apple may take a page out of gaming company Razer's playbook for smartphones.

And for real, this time, not just in a DIY mod sort of sense.

When it comes to high-end laptops, there's no shortage of notebooks with 4K UHD resolutions. When it comes to gaming laptops, 120 Hz is almost the bare minimum gamers expect. Often, however, these come as separate features and ne'er the twain shall meet. Defying the status quo and beating its competitors to the punch, Razer is giving its 2019 Blade Pro 17 laptop exactly that, putting its CPU and GPU to the test by pushing pixels on a 4K 120 Hz screen.

In the computing industry, power and size are often proportional. That's why there's no small amount of fuss when device makers are able to deliver the same level of performance at a smaller size or, better yet, even more power in the same size. That's true for smartphones and is especially true for gaming computers, particularly laptops. At the start of IFA 2019, away from the gaming conferences and press, Razer promises to deliver exactly that in the new Razer Blade Stealth 13, what it bills to be the world's first gaming ultrabook.

Razer Customs works with a range of phones, includes iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, and even a Huawei phone, but not Razer's own Razer Phone.

The company has seemingly finally heard those cries and has started rolling out Android 9 Pie for the Razer Phone 1. Unfortunately, despite the long wait, it seems that Razer may have still let a major bug through, forcing it to halt what should have been good news for the phone's owners.

Razer can be credited for having carved out the niche gaming smartphone market but if rumors are correct, it is also the first one to silently bow out. We are nearing the point that a Razer Phone 3 should be announced but there is not even a shadow of a rumor about it. What we,re getting instead is an odd sighting of a Razer Phone 2 but one with rather considerable differences that it could, perhaps, be called the Razer Phone 2.5.

In competitive gaming, the difference between victory and defeat is a matter of speed. Not just in the speed of the computer or the speed of reaction. It's also about the speed of the input. That's especially true in PC gaming where mouse clicks need to be fast and precise. It's exactly for that purpose that Razer is launching the Viper mouse, touting its first optical switches for mice to reduce latency and increase precision.
