Exclusive: How Razer’s renewed commitment to excellence is elevating esports
Living on the edge of eminence.
Razer, a global leader in gaming peripherals and hardware, is renowned for its dedication to the esports industry.
In an exclusive interview, ONE Esports spoke with Jeff Chau, Razer’s Global Esports Director, to uncover the company’s multifaceted approach to elevating the esports landscape.
How Razer is fueling the future of esports with their collaborations and shared passion for greatness
“This alignment is reflected in the cohesive efforts between Razer and these teams to enhance the overall esports ecosystem,” said Chau.
“By actively listening to the feedback from the teams, we continuously strive to improve our products, ensuring that esports professionals and the broader community benefit from the cutting-edge technology available in the market.”
This collaborative spirit isn’t just lip service. Take Bleed Esports, for example. Together, they’ve begun hosting watch parties, complete with Razer setups, allowing fans to experience the games with the same gear wielded by the pros.
This creates a deeper connection between fans and players, fostering an immersive esports experience. Razer recently welcomed Bleed Esports to its headquarters, solidifying this partnership while fostering a valuable exchange of ideas.
How Razer is leveling up everyone’s game
Razer continues to be a driving force in esports. The recently released Razer Viper V3 Pro is a prime example.
Developed closely with professional esports athletes, this mouse boasts a redesigned shape, enhanced build quality, and feather-light weight, ensuring players execute lightning-fast movements with unmatched precision.
“One of our most exciting recent endeavors is the Razer Viper V3 Pro, developed in collaboration with professional esports athletes,” said Chau. “By incorporating their feedback, we redesigned the mouse’s shape and enhanced its build quality and weight, enabling athletes to execute swift, precise movements that match their every intention.”
But Razer’s vision goes beyond just milliseconds and headshots. Inclusivity is another cornerstone of their mission — they’re constantly striving to make their gear more accessible, ensuring everyone can experience the thrill of competition regardless of physical limitations.
Team Razer looks to empower the esports ecosystem and beyond
This input plays a crucial role in shaping Razer products, guaranteeing they stay ahead of the curve and meet the ever-changing needs of pro gamers.
Simultaneously, they also help esports organizations create exciting content for fans.
“Their feedback directly influences the development of our gear, ensuring it meets the highest standards required by professional esports athletes,” he added.
Team Razer provides top-of-the-line peripherals to ensure peak performance in competitions and stylish apparel for players to represent the brand confidently.
“Our athletes are prominently featured in our marketing efforts and activated at relevant events, ensuring they receive maximum visibility and engagement,” said Chau. “This focus spans all genres, including FPS, MOBA, and FGC, emphasizing our commitment to supporting diverse esports disciplines.”
Aspiring esports athletes can hone their skills at cutting-edge Razer facilities like the recently unveiled MOUZ HQ in Germany. These state-of-the-art training grounds are equipped with the latest Razer gear, providing the perfect environment to prepare for the biggest tournaments.
This well-rounded approach equips their teams with the tools and resources they need to succeed as gamers, content creators, and esports stars.
