There appears to be a faction of hardcore PC gamers within the Microsoft Windows software engineering team—as evidenced in a developer blog post from late May. The section relating to "Reduced game stutter with high report rate mice" provided an early preview for improvements recently rolled out in a Windows 11 update (KB5028185 issued on July 11th). This week's fix "improves your computer's performance when you use a mouse that has a high report rate for gaming." Gamers running PCs on Windows 10 (or earlier) are—unfortunately—missing out on this latest and greatest feature.

Microsoft's blog stated: We know gamers hate stutter, and we're fixing issues throughout Windows so that an untimely frame-freeze won't take gamers out of their immersive experiences. Gamers love to push their systems to the limit in search of the best experiences in-game. Many also use sensitive, high DPI, high report rate mice to shave milliseconds off their response times and increase precision. At the same time, the world of gaming is more connected than ever with gamers relying on an increasing number of background apps while playing, like voice chat, streaming, apps for configuring your keyboard, mouse, or graphics card, and more. The Windows input stack was being pushed to its limits with high report rate mice and their input being delivered to not just the game, but also multiple background processes. In turn, that caused a significant amount of time processing input rather than providing as many cycles as possible for rendering the game experience."

Hello Razer Community, we've come a long way together and 2023 is no exception. Over the last year, we've unveiled four top-tier Razer mice - Viper V2 Pro, DeathAdder V3 Pro, Basilisk V3 Pro, and Naga V2 Pro. Each of these stellar mice were meticulously crafted to cater to unique preferences and gaming styles, such as our MMO-tailored Naga V2 Pro renowned for its multi-button swappable side plate design.

Last week marked another exciting milestone in our ongoing journey - the completion of our full mouse lineup with the launch of the Razer Cobra line. These innovative additions have already sparked a wave of discussion and received multiple accolades including the Editors Choice award from CGMag, and awarded "The Best" from WindowsCentral.

Razer, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers, in partnership with KRAFTON, Inc., a collective of independent game development studios and the publisher of popular PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, announced a highly anticipated collection of PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS-themed gaming gear.

"Razer is thrilled to partner with KRAFTON on this exciting collection," said Addie Tan, Associate Director of Business Development at Razer. "When you combine our expertise in gaming peripherals with their innovative approach to immersive gaming, you get a cool new collection that resonates with gamers worldwide and captivates gamers and enthusiasts alike."

Built with customizability, connectivity and cutting-edge technology at the forefront, the Razer Cobra Pro invites gamers to a kaleidoscopic gaming experience brimming with freedom and immersion.

"There was a clear gap in the market for a mouse that offered a well-balanced, immersive gaming experience. Driven by that realization, we created the all-new Cobra line," said Barrie Ooi, Head of Razer's PC Gaming Division. "The Cobra Pro stands unrivaled as the most immersive, feature-rich wireless and symmetrical mouse available today, and we can't wait for our community to try it out for themselves."

And we're proud to announce this product has earned the coveted global gold standard mark of audio fidelity, THX Certification."

Razer, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers, today announced the next step in device customization - Razer Skins. Offered in a range of designs and precision cuts for a factory-like fit, Razer Skins are easy to apply and safe to remove, making them the ultimate way for users to personalize and accessorize their devices.

A brave soul has listed an unreleased Razer Viper V3 HyperSpeed wireless gaming mouse on Ebay and included some close-up shots of the unboxed peripheral—a MouseReview subreddit post brought attention to this product leak yesterday. The seller is located in Springfield, Virginia and was charging $169.00 (buy it now) for an "open box" product. The Ebay listing seems to have attracted a buyer, but the mouse has likely passed through a couple of hands prior to the online exchange.

One of the subreddit commenters claims that they know the buyer and backstory behind their acquiring of a pre-launch Razer gaming accessory—they allege that a sponsored player participating in a Blast CS:GO tournament was willing to part ways with a sample/preview unit (presumably a stealthy transaction). Specifications and features have not been divulged, but leaked photos indicate that the Viper V3 HyperSpeed sports an outer shell aesthetic similar to the DeathAdder V3 PRO's design. HyperSpeed models tend to offer better value for money - when compared to top-flight PRO gaming mice - with more mid-range specifications. The photos from the Ebay listing suggest that this particular Viper continues the series tradition of featuring a removable battery compartment.

Razer today launched the 2023 Razer Blade 14. This segment-disruptive 14-inch notebook packs gaming performance comparable to much thicker enthusiast-class notebooks; in a thin-and-light form-factor comparable to business/commercial notebooks. Across the market landscape, the Razer Blade 14 is designed to compete with the Apple MacBook Pro of a comparable screen size. Razer is timing launch of this notebook with that of the AMD Ryzen 7040HS "Phoenix" processor, because it's based on one. The notebook measures 31 cm x 22.8 cm x 1.79 cm (WxDxH with lid closed), and is 11.5% thinner than the 2022 Razer Blade 14. It's also 9% lighter, at 1.83 kg. Despite its size, the notebook packs a 68.1 Wh battery, which when paired with the rather high-end hardware, offers up to 10 hours of productivity.

Under the hood, the Razer Blade 14 (2023) rocks an AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS "Phoenix" processor, with an 8-core/16-thread "Zen 4" CPU, Ryzen AI accelerator, and Radeon 780M (12 CU) integrated graphics. The main graphics muscle, though, is the GeForce RTX 4070 Ada with 140 W TGP. The notebook provides the ability to switch between the discrete- and integrated graphics. The notebook also comes with two DDR5 SO-DIMM slots for up to 64 GB of socketed DDR5 memory; and an M.2-2280 Gen 4 NVMe slot for the main storage, a Gen 4 SSD. The WLAN module is also socketed, and offers Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2. The display is a 14-inch, 16:10 aspect-ratio QHD+ (2560 x 1600 pixels) unit, with 240 Hz refresh rate, and 3 ms response time. The display has 500 nits maximum brightness.

Razer looks to be preparing a pair of Viper Mini gaming mouse successors according to information shared on Reddit recently—but the peripheral specialist has decided to relabel these upcoming offerings under a new product family, albeit still sticking with a serpent naming scheme. Photos of boxed examples appeared online a few weeks ago, and this weekend two listings have turned up (before any official announcement) on Amazon.ca for a higher-end $179.99 "Cobra Pro Wireless" and a more budget friendly $54.99 "Cobra Wired" sibling. Pre-order information indicates that these units will be out on June 29, although Amazon Canada has quickly removed the product pages from their site. Gaming mouse purists have immediately jumped on this leak with criticism leveled at Razer for bumping up the number of Chroma RGB zones on these new models (when compared to predecessors), but the company is likely targeting a more mainstream crowd this time round.

The Razer Cobra Pro Wireless looks to be a slightly cheaper alternative to the extremely expensive Viper Mini Signature Edition (VMSE), thanks to sharing similar core specifications including the company's flagship Focus Pro 30K Optical Sensor and 90 million click-rated Optical Mouse Switches Gen-3. The Cobra Pro makes do with a plastic shell (no weight specified), which likely saves on material costs when contrasted with the magnesium alloy body featured on the 49 gram limited edition Viper Mini SE. Compatibility with Razer's 8000 Hz HyperPolling Wireless dongle was not outlined in the now removed listing. Razer's 58 gram Cobra Wired seems to be a true follow-up to the original (2020) Viper Mini—with Amazon's leaked spec sheet pointing to a fitting of the same previous generation 8500 DPI optical sensor, although the new entry level model has been updated with Razer's third-gen optical switches.

Our commitment to consistently delivering game-changing innovations to elevate your gaming experience is one of the top priorities at Razer. Today, I'm excited to share an update specifically for the Razer Huntsman V2 Analog and Razer Huntsman Mini Analog via Razer Synapse - Rapid Trigger Mode!

I am steeped in the culture of fighting games so it feels like destiny that I get to introduce you to a project that I'm so incredibly fortunate to have helped create.My journey with fighting games started with Street Fighter 2 and Mortal Kombat 1 back in the 90s, and my love for the genre has been a relentless engine in my life ever since.

Over the years, this passion led me to the frontlines of the fighting game community (FGC)/esports scene. Traveling to tournaments such as EVO, Combo Breaker, CEO, Tokyo Game Show, and more, I've been fortunate to make a career of it as well as developing peripherals for major players in the FGC community near and far. It's in this spirit that I'm thrilled to finally unveil a project that we at Razer have been passionately crafting the arcade controller that's poised to redefine the world of fighting games: the Razer Kitsune.
