For three years running, CeBIT visitors always look forward to seeing Razer at the Hannover Messe. And they have very good reasons to in 2008. In case you weren’t aware, CeBIT (Centrum der Büro- und Informations technik; German for “Centre of Office and Information technology”) is the world’s largest computer expo. It is held each spring on the world’s largest fairground in Hannover, Germany, and is a barometer of the state of the art in information technology. With an exhibition area of roughly 5 million square feet and up to 700,000 visitors, it is larger than the Consumer Electronics expo in Las Vegas or Computex in Taiwan.

The official launch of the new Razer gaming mouse, the Razer Salmosa, set the stage for the show at CeBIT this year (4-9 Mar 2008). The Razer Salmosa, equipped with the Razer 3G Infrared sensor (rated as the fastest tracking optical mouse sensor in the world) and ultra-light form factor, was well-received by the public and media.

Team Razer brought home the highest glory with Fnatic and Meet Your Makers (MYM) winning the top sweet spots of the World Cyber Games CounterStrike tournament – Germany Qualifiers. Top Team Razer pro-gamers from Fnatic, MYM, Grubby, Lucifer, Team Dignitas, Spirit of Amiga (SoA), Amazing Gaming and The Elder Gods (TEG) demonstrated their skills with daily show matches and met up with their fans at the Razer booth.

As usual, we had our fair share of enthusiastic Razer fans, giving all they’ve got to get our attention and lay their hands on a Razer tee-shirt and some Razer swag. Each show drew overwhelming crowds and escalating excitement. Crowds were queuing outside the booth for more than 2 hours before show time just to get into the Razerzone! The crowds were so fanatical that they almost brought the hall down.

It had been a crazy 6 days of never-ending action, much like a tornado that swept through CeBIT and left everyone unconsciously chanting “RAZER” in its wake. This was my 11th CeBIT and I loved it! We hope to see you all again at Games Convention later this year in Leipzig.
