10 Years of Memories |
| July 18th, 2007 |
LOL … I can’t believe that 10 years of Razer fun and frolic have passed. It seems like only yesterday that we started dreaming about gaming mice and enhancing the gaming experience. The year was 1997 and there was this cool encoding technology that we owned and we were trying to figure out how best showcase our maiden product to the world. Since I was an old-time gamer from the late 70’s – Atari 2600, Mattel Intellivision, Coleco whatever – I naturally wanted to go the gaming direction.
Over the years I have had the distinct honor and privilege to travel the globe and meet gamers, fans, friends, competitors and the press and talk about Razer and our products. This has led us to believing in the power of the gaming community and just how important it is to not only listen to the users but to actively and purposely encourage and embrace outside innovation.
This blog post is not intended to blow smoke up anyone’s arse (I think those of you who know me understand this); what I’m hoping to accomplish is to thank all of the many fans who have written, phoned, come to events, IM’d, ICQ’d and sent messages in bottles by sea over the past decade. Your comments have always been appreciated, both good and critical. We have used your feedback to help create better hardware, firmware and drivers and in truth we could have never been the company we are today without you and your innovative suggestions.
Two weeks ago I became a member of three popular social networking websites, MySpace, Facebook and Friendster. Besides my blog and my direct email razerguy@razerzone.com you can now contact me through these three social communities with pictures, stories and other fun stuff. As always I will attempt to respond honestly and as fast as my stubby fingers will allow.
My personal pledge to you all is that no matter how fast and big Razer grows as a company there will always be the close and direct connection to the gaming community. We know who put us on top and will NEVER forget our roots.
Keepin’ it real

Wow. I think you and your entire staff are truly gaming gods. You all play games and you listen to the gamers to truly make the best product you can make and make sure that product fits us and our needs. Thank you so much for these 10 years of awesome products and I hope to use your products for the next 50.

Although the Razer products seem great, the staff is horrible. If you can do something about this, it would be good. First of all, I bought a Razer mouse and was charged immediately and was wondering why I hadn’t received anything after 6 days when the delivery time on the website said 1-3 days. I called on the phone about this on the 6′th day, asked about it and I wasn’t helped. Then when I said that I would never buy from Razer again, I was told “Thats ok with me.” I sent in a ticket which In which I said id be getting a full refund if I wasn’t helped and funny on that day I received an email telling me that the item was just sent. Sadly I had to wait even longer because of a weekend, which extended my wait to 6 more days (14 total).
Good job on your products but you should be able to control a business.

I have a 2 razer boomslangs, 1 razer dimondback, 1 razer copperhead, 1 razer turanula, 1 razor mantis, and i just recieved a razer barracuda headset. I love all of them! I have never had a problem with support, my barracuda headset broke, i set it back and recieved a new one within 1 week from the time i sent the broke one in till i got the new one. 7 day turn around… Razer is by far the best gaming products out there, i have tried logitech and a few others and they all suck in comparison. Anyways i just wanted to say THANKS TO RAZER FOR EVERYTHING!!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!!!!
