Razer, the world leader in high-performance gaming hardware, software and systems, along with Evil Geniuses, one of the world's premier eSports organizations, today announced a plan to develop a line of custom-branded peripherals for Evil Geniuses.
The limited edition Evil Geniuses eSports line by Razer includes a Razer Taipan gaming mouse, Razer Goliathus gaming mouse mat and a Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Stealth Edition mechanical gaming keyboard. Each of these peripherals is designed with tournament-ready hardware, including a high-precision 8200 dpi laser sensor in the mouse, a glide-attuned surface for slick movement on the mouse mat and fast-actuating mechanical switches in the keyboard.
During the design process, Evil Geniuses contributed extensively to the visual detailing of these exclusive peripherals, which embraces the team's blue and silver color scheme across all three products. The Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Stealth Edition keyboard and Razer Taipan mouse also feature unique white backlighting.
"This new line of peripherals is a real testament to the team's dominance on the circuit and recognition of Evil Geniuses as a worldwide eSports organization," says Min-Liang Tan, Razer co-founder, CEO and creative director. "These products are great banners for both the players and fans to rally behind. There couldn't be a better time to be a fan of Evil Geniuses, given their versatility, performance and all-star lineup."
U.S.-based Evil Geniuses is widely considered the home of some of the world's most distinguished and reputable cyber-athletes. The team has already racked-up 16 podium placements in 2013 at events such as the StarCraft II World Championship Series, DreamHack, Intel Extreme Masters and The Premier League.
"We wanted to create a full line of gaming peripherals for many years now," says Alex Garfield, Evil Geniuses CEO. "Razer's enthusiasm for a custom line of Evil Geniuses products was a major factor in our decision to partner with them in the first place. It shows that there was an internal commitment at Razer to help us grow as a business."
The limited edition Evil Geniuses Razer Goliathus and Razer Taipan are now available for pre-order on Razerzone.com and evilgeniuses.gg, while the Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Stealth Edition will be available in December.
