Put on your party hats – we’ve reached the 100,000 fan mark

We at Razer are an obsessive bunch. We collect stamps, arrange all our office mugs in order of its weight to capacity ratio and most importantly, we are Facebook hoggers. Yes, every time we publish a new Facebook post we stay at our desks for a good 3 hours looking at the comments that roll up once it goes live.

For the past few months we’ve also been constantly eyeing our Facebook page like a wild hawk, just counting the numbers until it hits the big 100,000.

What number is it, you say? It’s the 100,000 fan count of course! It seems that someone didn’t read this post’s title.

Today officially marks the moment that our Facebook page hits 100k fan mark and we know that calls for a mega celebration. All those years that you gaming brethren have stuck with us have not been overlooked. From tributes from our fans inking our triple-headed snake logo on their bottoms to the massive fan love for Moon and Nada’s APM on our recent Hax Life movie, we thank you for your heart felt support.

To commemorate this day, we made a deal with Santa for Christmas to come early for you guys. We’ve been working hard to give our community an exclusive new product. This one is just for you guys. With 10 days of giveaways only on our Facebook page you know what you gotta do.

Introducing the Razer Orca, our new gaming and music headphones that look and sound so good that it will make the most hardcore audiophile grow out a third leg. Designed also for comfort and performance, the Razer Orca can be used for non-stop hours of gaming and for head banging MP3 tracks with its enhanced bass and positional audio working overtime to complement both activities.

Technical Specifications

- Frequency Response: 15 – 21,000 Hz

- Impedance: 32 O at 1kHz

- Input Power: 200 mW

- Drivers: 40 mm, with Neodymium Magnets

- Cable: 1.2m braided fiber + 2 meter braided extension cable

- Connector: 3.5 mm headphone jack

Hardware Requirements

- Audio device with 3.5mm headphone jack

Throughout the 10 days of celebrations, we will be setting out 1 question for each day. To win the Razer Orca, all you have to do is comment on our post when the question comes up. We will choose from the fastest bunch to answer correctly to win the prize. Don’t worry, we will be releasing the questions at random times for the benefit of people who live in different time zones – we haven’t forgotten you Oceanic mates down under ;)

To qualify you also need to have the Razer logo in your Facebook profile picture just so we know you’re one of us.

The bigger news is that the number of prizes increases with the day. 1 prize for Day 1, 2 prizes for grabs on Day 2 and so forth until we reach Day 10 where there will be 10 winners for that day. Altogether, there will be 55 Razer Orcas for the win (heh we had to sneak this in) over the next 10 days.

So keep a look out for the questions and a possible Facebook message from one of our Community guys to see if you have won!

A little confused? Here is the contest in 4 steps:

  1. Change your profile picture to the Razer logo
  2. Wait for each day’s trivia question post on Facebook (this will be at a random time each day)
  3. Post the correct answer within the first hour of the question being posted (you snooze you lose)
  4. We’ll pick the winners from the pool of correct answers

Easy.

Now let the celebrations begin!

The new Razer Orca will be coming to stores near you soon

Happy Birthday dear mouse …

Next week on December 9th the mouse will celebrate its 38th birthday. No I’m not referring to that precocious rodent named Mickey; I’m talking about the little guy cradled in your right hand (at least most of us). Since I’m a bit of a history buff I thought it might be interesting to share a little bit of the past with you all.

On that day in 1968 Dr. Douglas C. Engelbart and a group of 17 researchers working with him in the Augmentation Research Center at Stanford Research Institute in Menlo Park, CA, presented a 90-minute live public demonstration of the online system, NLS, they had been working on since 1962. The public presentation was a session in the of the Fall Joint Computer Conference held at the Convention Center in San Francisco, and it was attended by about 1,000 computer professionals.

This was the public debut of the computer mouse. But the mouse was only one of many innovations demonstrated that day, including hypertext, object addressing and dynamic file linking, as well as shared-screen collaboration involving two persons at different sites communicating over a network with audio and video interface.

The original 90-minute video of this event is part of the Engelbart Collection in Special Collections of Stanford University. This original video has been edited into 35 segments and reformatted as RealVideo streaming video clips.

To access any or all of these clips visit http://sloan.stanford.edu/mousesite/1968Demo.html.

What we saw in the late 60s has progressed to become a commonly used ball mouse. This was the defacto standard for navigating computer operating systems, at least until the late 90s with the emergence of optical sensors, when accuracy and tracking was taken to the next level. Laser sensor technology made their consumer debut in 2004.

Razer introduced the first high performing mouse in 1999. It clocked at 2000 dots-per-inch and established a new category of mice, Gaming Mice, and a new benchmark for mouse performance, DPI. Razer has always believed in hardware solutions and that performance features such as resolution and speed must be built into the firmware and not interpolated through software or through the magnifying of lenses.

Today we all owe a lot of our enjoyment and gaming pleasure to Dr. Engelbart, who incidentally is the proud owner of one of the original Boomslang and most recently Copperhead mice.
