Razer expands its streaming ecosystem with new $209 Stream Controller X

Razer has launched its new Stream Controller X all-in-one streaming hub in Canada. Along with other major regions, Canadians can get their hands on this fully customizable controller deck, featuring 15 programmable LCD buttons, now available for $209.99.

Razer has expanded its streamer support by continuously launching streaming gear within its ecosystem. The Stream Controller X enhances the streamer’s control of their broadcast by supporting 15 Switchblade Buttons, which users can customize to their preference.

Razer’s Controller X supports most high-profile streaming software, and features plugins to enable the use of several apps. For instance, users can set shortcuts to Twitch, OBS Studio, Philips Hue, Spotify, Razer Key Light Control, Razer Audio Mixer Control, Voicemod and more.

All programmable shortcuts are built into a series of 15 LCD buttons featuring their own icons. The Stream Controller X is built into a magnetic stand with a 50-degree angle. The stand itself also has a grip to avoid sliding on a desk or table.

Razer has a long lineage of offering gaming gear across accessories, gaming PCs and even apparel. The Stream Controller X is another example of the company gaining a foothold in the streaming world, targeting a market Elgato largely dominates. The Elgato Stream Deck MK2 is the company’s most comparable device to the Stream Controller X as it provides similar features.

Razer’s Stream Controller X appears to have a smaller footprint compared to competitive devices. This could help reduce clutter within a streaming setup. Additionally, this will likely speak to those currently in the Razer ecosystem — especially if they’re using the likes of Razer Key Lights and Seiren microphones.

Here’s what Razer announced at RazerCon 2022 today

During Razer’s RazerCon event earlier today, the Irvine, California-based company announced new gadgets, accessories and software, alongside updates to existing fan favourites, including the Razer Kraken Kitty, Razer Barracuda wireless gaming headset and the Razer Huntsman V2 TKL optical gaming keyboard.

Let’s start off with the new releases:

Razer Edge

The Razer Edge is the company’s new 5G Android handheld gaming device that has “thousands of compatible AAA games from day one.”

The handheld features a 6.8-inch AMOLED display with a 144hz refresh rate at 2400 x 1080 FHD+ pixel resolution. It’s currently unknown if the refresh rate is adaptive or stable at 144. It’s built on Snapdragon’s G3x Gen 1 Gaming Platform, and runs on a 5,000mAh battery for extended gaming sessions.

The handheld can take advantage of all android gaming from the Play Store, while also being able to stream games on the cloud through Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) and Nvidia GeForce Now. Further, games can be played via touchscreen or through the Razer Edge’s tactile controls

The handheld will be available in 5G (powered by Verizon) and Wi-Fi versions.

“With the Razer Edge 5G and Verizon Ultra Wideband you’ll have, in your hands, a full mobile gaming system with a reliable connection that can push ultra-fast speeds, with low lag,” said Brian Higgins, SVP, device and consumer product marketing at Verizon. “In other words, you’ll soon be able to smash the competition, all while giving your favourite gaming chair a bit of a break for the day.”

The handheld has Wi-Fi 6E support for when you want to game at home, alongside a webcam, allowing you to stream directly from the device.

The device comes bundled with the Razer Kishi V2 Pro, though, unfortunately for Canadians, the device is launching in the U.S. only. Canadians would either have to cross the border to pick one up, or wait until the handheld releases in Canada.

The Razer Edge 5G will be available exclusively from Verizon, and the Razer Edge Wi-Fi will be available exclusively at Razer.com and RazerStore locations in January 2023.

The Razer Edge Wi-Fi will cost $399.99 USD (roughly $555 CAD), while the 5G model’s pricing is yet to be decided.

Kraken Kitty V2 Pro

The Kraken Kitty V2 Pro is a direct upgrade of the Kraken Kitty edition headphones, now with interchangeable ears.

The Kraken Kitty V2 Pro is a wired headset with support for Razer’s Chroma RGB lights, that now comes with extra bear and bunny ears, in addition to the original cat ears. Directed at streamers, the Kraken Kitty V2 Pro comes with all three ear types in the box, so you don’t have to spend any extra money to customize your headphones.

Further, with support for Chroma RGB, the ears can react and light up in real-time to whatever is happening on your stream, be it emotes, alerts, and new subscriptions and more.

The headphones feature a detachable cardioid mic, and come with Razer’s TriForce Titanium 50mm drivers for 7.1 digital surround sound support.

The Razer Kraken Kitty V2 Pro will be available for preorder in Q4 2022, starting at $199.99 USD (roughly $277 CAD) at Razer.com, RazerStores, and select retailers. Razer is yet to provide Canadian pricing.

Razer Blue Screen

Razer says the green in its products is similar to the green used in regular green screens, which cause its products to become invisible in stream and videos, thus, the company has released a Blue Screen that functions just like a regular green screen would. “Crafted with premium fibers, the Razer Blue Screen allows streamers to create their own worlds and display the most seamless and immersive backgrounds on a wrinkle-free backdrop,” says the company.

Razer’s Bluescreen is completely height adjustable and can stand as tall as 94-inches, which is more than enough for a home streaming setup. Additionally, it is collapsable, can be quickly deployed and has a carrying handle for easy portability.

Razer’s Bluescreen is available now for $149.99 USD (roughly $208 CAD) at Razer.com and Razer Stores.

Razer Kaira Series headsets

At RazerCon, Razer unveiled three new Kaira series headsets designed for the PlayStation 5.

“The new Razer Kaira X, a wired headset, as well as the new Kaira HyperSpeed and Kaira Pro HyperSpeed, which are wireless multi-platform gaming headsets, deliver immersion and untethered freedom,” wrote the company in its news release about the new products.

The new wireless headsets can connect to your console over a 2.4GHz wireless connection to ensure seamless and low-latency audio with a 30-hour battery life on a full charge. Whereas the Razer Kaira Pro HyperSpeed exclusively features haptic feedback powered by Razer HyperSense, “allowing gamers to feel what they hear.”

All three new Kaira headphones feature Razer’s TriForce 50mm drivers for 7.1 digital surround sound support, added clarity and rich, full-range audio, alongside a detachable cardioid microphone.

The Razer Kaira Pro HyperSpeed is available now starting at $199.99 USD (roughly $277 CAD)  at Razer.com and at select retailers. Razer is yet to provide Canadian pricing.

The Razer Kaira HyperSpeed is available now starting at $129.99 USD (roughly $180 CAD) at Razer.com and at select retailers. Razer is yet to provide Canadian pricing.

The Razer Kaira X is available now starting at $59.99 USD (roughly $83) at Razer.com and at select retailers. Razer is yet to provide Canadian pricing.

Razer Axon PC Wallpaper app

Razer Axon is the company’s new PC wallpaper application that works hand-in-hand with Chroma RGB-compatible devices. The application offers a range of animated and static wallpapers that react in real time with the company’s Chrom RGB devices. The wallpapers comprise but aren’t limited to, images from video game franchises, Razer wallpapers, specially curated photos and more.

The app is compatible with user-added wallpapers, so you can add whatever you’d like to be displayed on your monitor, and the app will sync it with the RGB on your Razer-owned devices and manage it for you. “Gamers with multiple monitors can enjoy Razer Axon too, with its multi-monitor support, letting gamers truly customize their set-ups like never before,” wrote Razer in its release about the new products.

The app is available to download now. 

Upgrades to pre-existing devices

A range of older Razer devices are now available in new colourways.

Razer’s Barracuda wireless multi-platform gaming headset and the Razer Huntsman V2 TKL optical gaming keyboard are now available in Quartz colourway. Additionally, the Razer BlackShark V2 X wired headset, Razer Orochi V2 mobile wireless gaming mouse, and Razer Strider Hybrid mouse mat in large size are also available in Quartz colourway.

The Razer Barracuda Quartz Edition is $159.99 USD (roughly $222 CAD) and will be available in October 2022 at Razer.com and at select retailers. The headset in its original colourway is available for $229.99 CAD.

The Razer Huntsman V2 TKL Quartz Edition is $159.99 USD (roughly $222 CAD) and will be available in October 2022 at Razer.com and at select retailers. The keyboard in its original colourway is available for $199.99 CAD.

The Razer BlackShark V2 X Quartz Edition is $59.99 USD (roughly $83 CAD)  and will be available in October 2022 at Razer.com and at select retailers. The headset in its original colourway is available for $79.99 CAD.

The Razer Orochi V2 Quartz Edition is $69.99 USD (roughly $97 CAD) and will be available in October 2022 at Razer.com and at select retailers. The mouse in its original colourway is available for $89.99 CAD.

The Razer Strider Quartz Edition in Large is $29.99 USD (roughly $41 CAD) and will be available in October 2022 at Razer.com and at select retailers. The large-size mat in its original colourway is available for $39.99 CAD.

The Razer Basilisk V3 Pro might be my new favourite mouse

Earlier this month, I wrote about Razer’s DeathAdder V3 Pro. It’s a great wireless mouse, but those looking for the ultimate gaming mouse experience should consider Razer’s latest mouse, the Basilisk V3 Pro.

Although it was released on August 23rd, I’ve been using one for a little longer and am quite impressed with it so far. It sports everything I liked about the DeathAdder V3 Pro, but with a more ergonomic shape. Plus, I really like the fancy wireless charger / wireless dongle combo, the Razer Mouse Dock Pro.

First, let’s run through the specs: the Basilisk V3 Pro sports a HyperScroll Tilt Wheel, Optical Mouse Switches Gen-3, a ton of programmable buttons, Focus Pro 30K Optical Sensor, and all the RGB lighting you could want in a gaming mouse.

Even better, if you get Razer’s Mouse Dock Pro (more on this below), the RGB lights on the dock and mouse can sync up, and when charging, they show the battery level too.

Although the Basilisk V3 Pro is a gaming mouse, I primarily used it while working during the testing period. I gamed with it too, of course, but these days the majority of my time at my computer is spent working. Regardless, the Basilisk V3 Pro worked great for both.

Wireless charging is sick until you need to use the mouse while charging

Still, the Basilisk V3 Pro isn’t perfect. It’s heavier than the DeathAdder (112g to 64g, respectively), and in my experience, the battery life isn’t as good. Razer claims up to 90 hours when using the HyperSpeed wireless dongle, but I found the mouse on the charger every few days. To be fair, that was in part due to using the higher 4,000Hz polling rate, but even after going back to 1,000Hz, I found the Basilisk V3 Pro didn’t last that long. (As an aside, I personally didn’t notice a significant difference between 1,000 and 4,000Hz polling, but at least the feature is there for those who want it.)

Depending on your set-up, however, the battery life may range from mildly annoying to downright inconvenient. I was testing Razer’s Mouse Dock Pro alongside the Basilisk. The Mouse Dock effectively replaces the need to use the included wireless dongle, as it includes a built-in HyperSense transceiver with support for up to 4,000Hz polling (the HyperSense dongle included with the Basilisk V3 Pro only does up to 1,000Hz). The Mouse Dock Pro lets you wirelessly charge the Basilisk, which is honestly really cool, and I loved it. The downside, however, is if your mouse dies when you need to use it, you can’t charge it on the Mouse Dock.

The Basilisk V3 Pro sports a USB-C port on the front so you can plug it in and use it while charging, which means you can keep using it when the battery’s dead if you forgo the wireless charging. The only real complaint here is that the cable included with the Mouse Dock Pro isn’t ideal for use when plugged into the mouse (the cable that comes with the Basilisk V3 Pro is lighter and more flexible). Either way, these are nitpicking in the grand scheme — if you keep an eye on your battery level and put the mouse on the Mouse Dock Pro when you’re not using it, keeping the battery topped off isn’t a problem.

One other thing worth noting about the Basilisk V3 Pro is it relies on a ‘wireless charging puck’ to use the Mouse Dock Pro or other wireless chargers. You get one with the Mouse Dock Pro, or you can buy one separately for $24.99 — either way, you’ll need to swap out the plastic placeholder puck on the bottom of the mouse with the wireless charging puck before you can use wireless charging.

A few software goodies and other nice features

Before I wrap up, there were a few other small things I appreciated about the Basilisk V3 Pro during my time with it. First, and not really specific to the Basilisk, is the ease of remapping certain keys.

I don’t often remap keys on mice, but the Basilisk V3 Pro sports a thumb button for activating the ‘Sensitivity Clutch,’ a feature to temporarily reduce mouse sensitivity. It’s handy for certain games, like first-person shooters, when you’re trying to line up that perfect snipe. However, it’s something I’ve never really used, and the Sensitivity Clutch button’s placement felt more accessible than the other thumb buttons, which I often use to activate abilities in games like Destiny 2 or Apex Legends. So, I remapped it, and it’s been great.

Another feature that stood out to me was the ‘Smart-Reel’ option, which lets the scroll wheel flip between tactile and free-spin modes on the fly. I thought I’d be a fan of this since I generally prefer tactile scroll but occasionally appreciate free-spin scrolling when I’m working and need to zip around a long article on MobileSyrup. However, in practice, I found Smart-Reel easily flipped between the two, and it felt really weird when I was using it. I’d love to see an option to customize the activation threshold for Smart-Reel in the future. Still, it’s great to have both options available on the Basilisk since the DeathAdder only had tactile scroll.

Finally, the Basilisk V3 Pro sports a button to cycle through different DPI settings. That’s a fairly common inclusion on mice these days, but what I appreciated with the Basilisk V3 is it would show the DPI on my computer screen when I cycled through. This is much more accessible than showing a little LED light with a different colour for each DPI setting, especially since I could never remember which LED colour was for the setting I actually wanted.

The Basilisk V3 Pro is overall great, but it’s pricey too

After my time with the Basilisk V3 Pro, I’m a fan and will likely keep using it as my daily driver. Ultimately, I’d like something just a tad lighter, but the ergonomics of the Basilisk will keep it on my desk over other, lighter options.

Unfortunately, the Basilisk V3 Pro doesn’t come cheap. There are a few options to pick from, which I’ll highlight below:

  • Basilisk V3 Pro – $219.99
  • Basilisk V3 Pro with Wireless Charging Puck – $231.99 (regular $244.98)
  • Basilisk V3 Pro with Mouse Dock Pro – $268.99 (regular $309.98)

Again, the wireless charging puck costs $24.99 on its own, and works with Qi charging pads, while the Mouse Dock Pro costs $89.99 and comes with a charging puck.

You can learn more about Basilisk V3 Pro, or buy one, on Razer’s website.

Razer’s DeathAdder V3 Pro is a modern refresh of an old classic

Razer released its newest mouse, a revamp of the popular DeathAdder, on August 11th. I’ve had the opportunity to try the DeathAdder V3 Pro for a few days and, so far, I’m impressed.

First, lets take a look at what’s new with the DeathAdder V3 Pro, then dive into my experience with the mouse. Razer says the DeathAdder V3 Pro sports its ‘HyperPolling’ technology and a “new, ultra-lightweight ergonomic design” to boost gaming performance.

Make no mistake, the DeathAdder V3 Pro is very much a gaming mouse, although the keen-eyed among you might notice it’s lacking that classic gamer RGB glow. Yes, surprisingly, there’s not a single gaudy LED on the DeathAdder (the only LED is a functional one: the status indicator). While some may be disappointed in the lack of RGB, I appreciated the more toned-down aesthetic. I primarily work from home, but it’s nice to know that if I used this in an office, it’d likely fly under the radar as a normal wireless mouse.

The mouse also now comes in black and white (weighing 63g and 64g, respectively) and clocks in at about 25 percent lighter than previous DeathAdders. It also boasts a battery life of up to 90 hours, and comes with what Razer calls a ‘Speedflex’ charging cable (it’s actually just a USB-A to USB-C cable with a light, flexible material that works great when connected to the mouse). That means you can easily use the DeathAdder V3 Pro wirelessly or wired, or just plug it in when you need a charge without having to stop your game session.

Other improvements include a ‘Focus Pro 30K Optical Sensor’ and wider compatibility with different desk surfaces – Razer says the sensor will track on clear glass at least 2mm thick. The sensor also boasts AI functions like Smart Tracking, Motion Sync, and Asymmetric Cut-off. The mouse uses Razer’s Optical Mouse Switches Gen-3 for “absolutely zero unintended double-clicking and no debounce delay” and are rated for 90 million clicks.

Additionally, the DeathAdder V3 Pro supports a polling rate of 1,000Hz at 1ms intervals, although those seeking extra performance can expand this to 1,000Hz at 0.25ms intervals (4x increase) with Razer’s HyperPolling Wireless Dongle. It’s worth noting that dongle is a separate purchase, and I didn’t have an opportunity to test it.

Gaming, unplugged

I’ve long relied on wired peripherals for my desktop because I found there were too many drawbacks with wireless alternatives. My position on that has steadily changed, and thanks to the DeathAdder V3 Pro, now only my keyboard is wired (mostly because I love my current mechanical keyboard and have little desire to swap it for a wireless alternative until I need to).

However, my issues with wireless mice were a little different than other peripherals. For example, I avoided wireless headphones for a long time due to audio delays and other weird issues, but after testing Razer’s Kaira Pro headset, I found a wireless option that didn’t have noticeable delays or latency, sounded great, and was comfortable to use.

With mice, I’ve never had an issue with wireless performance. My problem was weight, with past wireless mice I’ve tried feeling heavier than wired options. Until I started testing the DeathAdder V3 Pro, I was daily driving the Cooler Master MM720, which clocked in at a light 49g. Prior to that, I used the wired Glorious Model D at 68g.

While the DeathAdder is heavier than the MM720, I found it was comfortable enough to use and I was willing to take a little extra weight for the bonus of wireless. As an aside, I did enjoy using Razer’s 60g wireless Orochi V2 mouse, but the ergonomics made it a no-go for long-term use and it’s become my go-to on-the-go mouse instead.

My only other real concern was battery life and having to stop using my mouse to charge it. That’s not a concern with the DeathAdder – I’ve been using it for over a week and I’m only at 54 percent battery after fully charging it when I first took it out of the box. And when the time comes that I do need to charge it, I can just plug in the cable and keep using it.

Speaking of cables…

The DeathAdder V3 Pro comes with an interesting couple of dongles that I wanted to take a minute to highlight, in part because I’m dumb and didn’t use it properly.

The DeathAdder comes with a charging cable, a USB-A wireless dongle, and a weird little trapezoidal prism with a USB-C input and a USB-A input. What I came to learn about a day later, after more troubleshooting than I’d like to admit, is that you’re supposed to plug the charging cable into your computer, then use the trapezoidal prism to connect the USB-A dongle to the USB-C cable.

Setting up the cable and dongle that way provides two benefits. First, you can place the wireless dongle basically wherever you want (within reach of the cable, of course). The second benefit is that if you need to charge the DeathAdder, you’ve already got the cable plugged in, just pop the trapezoidal prism off the end and plug the cable into the mouse instead.

Being as smart as I am, I set aside the trapezoid, plugged the USB-A dongle into my computer and used the cable with a power brick to charge the mouse. Once it was powered up, I set up the wireless connection with my PC. However, over the next day I kept running into weird signal issues where it seemed the DeathAdder would briefly lose connection to the wireless dongle for a second or so, resulting in my on-screen cursor not moving with my mouse.

I spent a lot of time troubleshooting the issue and have no idea what caused it. After properly setting up the cable, trapezoid, and dongle, the issue went away. But even if I go back to using the wireless dongle connected directly to my PC, it still doesn’t have the signal issue. I cannot recreate it for the life of me, which leads me to think it was entirely a fluke that it happened in the first place.

Beyond that one minor, brief issue, I haven’t had any issues with the DeathAdder V3 Pro. Frankly, I chose to include the issue primarily to highlight the proper cable setup since, had I not encountered the problem, I likely would have missed the benefits of it.

Anyway, if you’re in the market for a new, comfortable wireless mouse with high performance and no flashy RGB, the DeathAdder V3 Pro is for you. It does cost a pretty penny at $189.99 in Canada (plus another $39.99 if you want the HyperPolling Wireless Dongle, which I don’t really think most people need).

You can learn more about the DeathAdder V3 Pro and/or buy it on Razer’s website.

The next evolution of Razer’s Kishi Mobile controller is here

Razer has launched its new Razer Kishi V2 mobile controller for Android devices.

The Kishi V2 features tactile microswitch controls, dual multifunction buttons, a newly added share button and the ability to access the Razer Nexus app at the push of a button. Razer says the gamepad is compatible with all Android devices running 9.0 Pie or later.

Just like Razer’s award-winning Wolverine V2 console controllers, the Kishi v2 features high-quality input and tactile microswitch controls.

It’s also worth noting that the gamepad features a new Share button that quickly captures video, making it easier to send in-game footage to your friends via the integrated Razer Nexus App.

For a more comfortable gaming experience, Razer also revamped the mobile controller’s structural design by adding a simplified bridge and ergonomic grips.

The Razer Kishi V2 will release in Fall 2022 for $99.99 USD (roughly $125 CAD).

Razer announces Barracuda Pro gaming headset, featuring dual connectivity

Razer has announced two new models in the Barracuda headset lineup. The company revealed that the expansion includes the standard Barracuda and the premium Barracuda Pro, both built for PC. The accessory maker also announced a refresh to the Barracuda X headset.

The trio forms a lineup of “street-styled gaming headsets” made by Razer. When looking at the premium Barracuda Pro, Razer includes a number of great features. For instance, the Barracuda Pro offers active noise cancellation, soft leather ear pads and a built-in THX Achromatic audio amplifier.

The Barracuda Pro and Barracuda both support 50mm drivers. This is opposed to the 40mm drivers the Barracuda X and other Razer headsets support. Additionally, the two new headsets offer beamforming mics, supporting noise cancellation.

A core feature the Barracuda Pro offers is the ability to connect to two devices at once. Thanks to Razer’s SmartSwitch Dual Wireless feature, the headset can swap between audio sources with a double-tap of a dedicated button. This offers a unique user experience when compared to headsets that offer the ability to play audio from two connections simultaneously.

According to Razer, the Barracuda Pro and Barracuda both feature a battery life of 40 hours on a single charge. The two headsets can connect via USB-C but feature Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity. The Barracuda X, on the other hand, has a battery life of 50 hours on a single charge.

All three headsets are currently available through Razer. The Barracuda Pro is available for $249.99 USD (roughly $316 CAD). The Barracuda costs $159.99 USD (roughly $202 CAD). Finally, the entry-level Barracuda X is $99.99 USD (around $126 CAD).
