Together To The Top

SOPA may be shelved for now, but the fight to protect our online freedom is far from over. And right now it is more important than ever to have a strong community. We need you to rally together and enforce our message to one of the strongest lobbies in America.

We’re building an army here, and we WILL rise. Together To The Top.

Here’s our stance on SOPA.

Now that we’ve got your attention, we want to draw your attention to a threat that threatens the very core of the gaming community.
The “Stop Online Piracy Act”, aka SOPA, is a proposed bill in the United States Congress that, if enacted, would effectively end the internet as we know it. In a ham-fisted attempt to combat piracy, Congress has opted for the “Nuke from Orbit” approach, hurting both the community from whom they benefit and developers they seek to protect. We cannot allow this to happen.

If this is the first you are hearing of SOPA, take a moment to read the bill itself ( http://judiciary.house.gov/hearings/pdf/112%20HR%203261.pdf ) by visiting the Electronic Frontier Foundation ( https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2011/10/sopa-hollywood-finally-gets-chance-break-internet ) for more information.

Allow us to stress, Razer does not condone piracy in any way. We feel it damages the industry and we will stand against anything that hurts either the gaming community or the developers. However, we firmly believe that SOPA is the absolute wrong way to combat this problem and we are not alone in thinking this. Other gaming companies like Red 5, Riot Games and Mojang stand with us in opposition. However, this bill does not only affect software and game developers and we hope our actions will lead other gaming hardware vendors to join our protest against SOPA.

So please join us in a day of protest. We will be taking down our site for one day, January 18th, to give you taste of what the future may hold if we fail to put an end to SOPA and similar ill-conceived legislation. In its place, we will upload the image above as a placeholder for our site. While this may have an impact on our business, we believe this is a small price to pay to show how the Internet could become if this bill was to be supported.

For Gamers. By Gamers. It is not just a motto, it is our way of life. We work hard to do right by our community. We’ll be damned if we’re going to let an attack like this go unanswered.

-Team Razer

*We apologize in advance to anyone offended by the image but it sums up our perspective to this draconian bill.

Because of YOU, we took Best of CES People’s Voice for Project Fiona. Awesome guys, thanks for all the cool support and feedback.

Project Fiona – PC Gaming On an All-New Form Factor

 

While the PC Giants have stopped innovating for the PC – we intend to continue doing so for you –  the PC gamer.

Introducing Project Fiona, the only tablet concept design in the world designed for PC gaming, powered by Intel Core i7 and a hybrid user interface for PC games. It’s not Angry Birds. It’s hardcore PC gaming.

It’s a concept device today, but we would like to hear what you think. We estimate that if enough people want it, we can build it by the end of the year at less than US$1,000 but it’s up to you to make it happen – so share this and tell us what you think.

 

 

Razer Naga Hex

When you’re in the middle of a fight that could mean losing a barracks or downing one of your opponent’s, there’s only room for one mistake: the one the loser makes.

So we give you the Razer Naga Hex, a weapon designed specifically for the Multiplayer Online Battle Arena and Action RPG genres.

The Naga Hex has dropped six buttons from the side and has been laid out in a hexagonal pattern in order to ensure that you cast the correct spell at the exact moment needed to carry your team to victory. Whether you are defending your tower in Dominion, laying siege to a melee barracks in DotA, or slaying the unending torrent of Hell-spawned undead, the Naga Hex will provide you with instant access to the skills that you require.

And it stays updated seamlessly with Razer Synapse 2.0.

Razer Synapse 2.0 is out of Beta – and available to everyone with supported devices.

Now you can keep your customized keybinds, macros, lighting, and profiles on the Cloud, and sync them to your Razer hardware by logging in wherever you happen to be getting your game on.

It automatically downloads all the latest firmware updates, game add-ons, and drivers so you’re the one waiting on the laggers to get their gear up to speed. We suggest you recommend Razer Synapse 2.0 to them – as your time is best spent winning, not waiting.
