Razer Unleashes a Fleet of Wireless Flagship Gaming Peripherals

Razer, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers, today announced the launch of the new Razer BlackShark V2 Pro, DeathAdder V2 Pro and BlackWidow V3 Pro, creating a fleet of flagship wireless peripherals with state-of-the-art gaming performance and total freedom of movement. Gamers can now enjoy their favorite games unhindered by cords, with the Razer HyperSpeed Wireless Technology maintaining a stable, fast connection.

"Every time we launch a new product, a lot of fans ask for a wireless version", said Alvin Cheung, Senior Vice President of Razer's Peripherals Business Unit. "By bringing the industry-leading Razer HyperSpeed Wireless technology to three of our most popular gaming peripherals, we are answering the community's call for a completely cable-free setup - with no compromise on gameplay performance."
Razer's HyperSpeed Wireless uses optimized data protocols, and an Adaptive Frequency Technology to increase transmission speeds and stability, delivering the lowest wireless latency of just 195μs, 25% faster than other wireless technologies. With Razer HyperSpeed enabled mice tested and trusted by esports players around the world, Razer HyperSpeed is now also being implemented into Razer's flagship esports headset and most popular gaming keyboard.
Razer BlackShark V2 Pro
The Razer BlackShark V2 Pro takes the game-changing advances in audio and microphone technology found in the recently released Razer BlackShark V2 and improves upon them with a new microphone housing and additional speaker chamber. Powered by Razer HyperSpeed Wireless technology, the headset delivers lossless immersive audio for low-latency wireless gaming, with up to 24 hours of battery life and 12 meters of wireless range.

The Razer BlackShark V2 Pro uses the same Razer TriForce Titanium 50 mm Drivers that debuted in the multi-award-winning Razer BlackShark V2. Now with an additional speaker chamber, the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro delivers even brighter, clearer audio, with individually tuned high, mid and low range frequencies for clearer trebles, a rich midrange and powerful bass. Complemented by THX Spatial Audio with Game Profiles, bringing 360-degree immersive audio that delivers a competitive edge to gamers, the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro is the definitive wireless esports headset.

Featuring the all-new 9.9 mm Razer HyperClear Supercardioid Mic​, the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro delivers ultra-clear voice quality for team comms, even in the heat of battle. With improved voice isolation, rejecting more ambient noise from the back and sides, increased sensitivity for greater low frequency response, and an optimized housing for added clarity and accurate voice pick-up, your teammates are sure to hear every word you say.

For long play sessions and uninterrupted immersion, the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro is lightweight yet durable at just 320 g and has a closed earcup design with plush leatherette-lined ear cushions for excellent passive noise cancellation​ to block out unwanted external sounds. Equipped with ultra-soft memory foam ear cushions to greatly reduce the headset's clamping force, the ear cushions and headband use FlowKnit fabric, a breathable weave that reduces sweat and heat build-up at the contact points. This winning combination makes the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro the ultimate wireless gaming headset.

Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro
First released in 2006, with over 10 million mice shipped worldwide, the acclaimed DeathAdder is Razer's most popular gaming mouse line, trusted by world-class esports athletes. Retaining the unique ergonomic shape of the DeathAdder, the king of mice finally sees the much-anticipated upgrade to Razer HyperSpeed Wireless.

The DeathAdder V2 Pro offers 3 modes of connection with up to 120 hours battery life via Bluetooth, 70 hours via Razer HyperSpeed Wireless for ultra-low latency, or plugged in via its Razer Speedflex cable so users can continue to game while charging. All this is achieved within an 88 g mid-weight design, without the need for a honeycomb shell.

Housed within the DeathAdder V2 Pro are the newly upgraded 2nd Gen Razer Optical Mouse Switches for crisper, tactile clicks with no risk of unintended double-clicks. Ultra-fast and reliable, these optical switches are rated for 70 million clicks, the highest of any gaming mouse on the market.

Each of the DeathAdder V2 Pros 8 programmable buttons can be customized though Razer Synapse 3, with storage space for up to 5 on-board memory profiles for instant access anywhere. The DeathAdder V2 Pro is also charge-compatible with the Razer Mouse Dock Chroma (sold separately), the perfect upgrade to your RGB battlestation. Combined with the intelligent Razer Focus+ 20K DPI Optical Sensor, injection-molded side grips and 100% PTFE mouse feet, the DeathAdder V2 Pro is the undisputed choice for the serious gamer.

Razer BlackWidow V3 Pro
The BlackWidow V3 Pro is the latest addition to the world-renowned BlackWidow family, and Razers first wireless gaming keyboard. Now weaponized with Razer HyperSpeed Wireless Technology, the Razer BlackWidow V3 Pro brings the legacy of the BlackWidow family to a cable-free gaming set-up with a battery life of up to 200 hours, improved Razer Mechanical Switches and Doubleshot ABS keycaps, making the BlackWidow V3 Pro the keyboard of choice for an uncluttered gaming desktop.

The BlackWidow V3 Pro features improved Razer Mechanical Switches, with a new transparent switch housing for brighter Razer Chroma RGB. Razer Yellow Mechanical Switches are now quieter, with silicon sound dampeners in every key for a silent gaming experience. With upgraded Doubleshot ABS Keycaps, extremely resistant to wear from continuous use, each switch is rated for an 80 million keystroke lifespan, providing reliable, responsive action in the fiercest battles.

The BlackWidow V3 Pro comes with a solid, durable aluminum frame and features dedicated media keys with a multi-function digital dial and a plush wrist rest for long term gaming and typing comfort. With three connection modes accessible via a side switch, the BlackWidow V3 Pro can be connected to multiple devices either over Razer HyperSpeed Wireless, via the detachable USB-C cable, or paired though Bluetooth with up to 3 devices - making it the most versatile BlackWidow ever.

Yeah these are really overpriced, but that new Blackwidow looks like it can take on the G915 since it supports three modes of connectivity.

I would rather buy (another) Viper Ultimate over this Deathadder just because of the price. At least the Viper has gone through a year without any major reports, aside from the mushy (but still functional/accurate) primary buttons.

Anyone willing to pay those prices are fooling themselves. You can acquire far better sensor based and built quality unit for less, decent audiophile cans, custom pre-build enthusiast mech with all the features and build quality these greedy rebrand bastards can't boast about.

Please list the competing better priced products. Especially if you know of any wireless mechanical keyboards with similar specs and double shot scandic keycaps.
It is completely fine if you don’t feel the need for wireless stuff, but don’t go around making baseless claims about the ’price gauging’.

The only reason people pay extra for this stuff is the compatible branded products... at least razers software isn't bloated like some others (icue, cough).

Synced RGB is a pretty popular feature people will pay extra for, i've just got one razer peripheral but its linked to my room lights for shits n gigs.

I can't say for any of their recent software versions, but Razer Synapse from 5-6 years ago was a POS. Perhaps paired with proper hardware that wasn't shitty, maybe their Synapse software wouldn't have been so crappy as well.

Nothing like having software that mucked with hardware. I had to actually scrub my registry of the synapse software because it was causing havoc with my Naga 2014...once all the software was absent of my system, the mouse functioned properly....but that was just the start of my issues with Razer's mouse and software.

I have issues with the current synapse needing to be logged in and online, but performance isn't the issue with it: unlike icue, who i will trash talk until they fix it.

Hardware companies need software people too, not lowest bidder garbage.
