During RazerCon 2023, the gaming giant Razer unveiled a slew of new products and refreshes, showcasing their technical prowess. However, as the presentation unfolded, a disconcerting issue became increasingly apparent: the exorbitant prices attached to their hardware.
A Pricey Proposition
Razer’s product announcements included a range of items that left many scratching their heads due to their staggering price tags. For instance, the Razer Blade 16 x Automobili Lamborghini Edition gaming laptop came in at a jaw-dropping $4,999, well beyond the cost of most high-end gaming PCs. The new Razer Huntsman V3 Pro gaming keyboard was priced at $249, with a TKL version at $219.99 and a Mini at $179.99—each notably higher than the V2 version.
The gaming chairs under the Fujin line, namely the Razer Fujin and Fujin Pro, were priced at $649 and $1,049, respectively, with an additional $129 cost for the headrest. Razer’s collaborations with luxury fashion brand Dolce&Gabbana led to even more stratospheric prices for gaming chairs and headsets. Notably, Razer also introduced a clothing line as part of this collaboration.
