Razer gets into the Tron spirit with new keyboard and mouse

Posted in Keyboards by Shane McGlaun on June 24th, 2010

I know that many of the geeks out there who grew up in the 80′s are fans of Tron. It was hard not to be with all the arcade games that were around with mini games from the original movie. I always liked the Light Bike game. I vaguely recall there being Tron toys when I was a kid too.

With the new Tron movie hitting theaters soon, there is resurgence in Tron merchandise with toys and game controllers. Razer has announced that it has a couple of Tron peripherals coming to celebrate the movie and geek up your gaming rig.

Razer’s new Starcraft II series of gaming peripherals look hot. They include the Razer Spectre gaming mouse, the Razer Marauder gaming keyboard, and the Razer Banshee gaming headset. All feature Starcraft-themed designs, with blue LEDs, and lots of gamer-friendly features.

Some of those features include 1000Hz Ultrapolling / 1ms response on the keyboard, 5600 dpi resolution and button force adjustment on the mouse, and a detachable mic on the headset. Since these are full of nice features and Starcraft II good looks, you can also expect to pay a premium price. The Spectre mouse is $80, and the Marauder keyboard and Banshee headset will each cost $120 when they arrive in the third quarter of this year.

Being right-handed, I will never know the lament of the lefty. You guys need the special scissors and even your own special mouse. And since most of us are right-handed, you are often left out in the cold. It might be easier to just conform to the “right” way, but if you choose not to, then Razer has a mouse for you.

The Razer DeathAdder Left Hand Edition. It’s a mirrored version of the DeathAdder, with the same 3500dpi sensor with 1000hz polling, braided cabling, and five programmable buttons.

I have been playing computer games since I was a kid and have always preferred computer gaming to consoles. If you are a dedicated Mac user, you can still be a gamer. However, Mac game software and peripherals are not nearly as prolific as gear for the PC.

Gamine peripheral maker Razer has announced at GDC that it will increase its support for Mac gamers. Razer states that it will be offering a new line of drivers for Mac users for all of its upcoming products.
