The Razer brand incorporates laptops, mobile devices, software, and a wide range of accessories all designed and optimized with the specific needs of the gamer in mind.

Gaming is a serious business. If you want to know just how serious Razer is about gaming, you just need to look at the figures.

93% of Razer peripheral owners play mobile games compared to just 59% of the general online population. Of these Razer mobile gamers, 59% spend money on games compared to just 26% of mobile gamers using other devices.
