Has Razer fixed its fingerprint problem?

Razer has announced new Mercury Editions of its flagship Blade 16 and Blade 18 gaming laptops. These look similar to the Razer Blades we know and love, but they swap out the standard black for a whiteish-grayish color.

A complaint I always have about the black Razer Blade models is that they pick up fingerprints very easily, and often end up looking a bit gross. Lighter-colored laptops are better about this, and if I were buying a Blade, this is the color I would go for.

For some reason I thought Mercury was red? I Googled and it turns out that’s Mars. The more you know?

If you remember these old Razer products then it’s time to buy a wrinkle cream.

Razer has uploaded a 90-minute-long Twitter video showcasing the brand’s entire collection of product trailers, starting from the 2012 Razer BlackShark headset. I dipped at around six minutes when my beloved Sabertooth controller appeared.

You obviously can’t buy some of the older products anymore, but it’s interesting to see how Razer’s RGB-plastered peripherals have developed over the last decade.

April Fools’ 2023: The Razer Razer.

A bit obvious, and I’m surprised if they hadn’t done this one already.

The only gaming mouse with both Chroma RGB and 360 fps (follicles per second), etc.

From Razer’s FAQ:

The performance buff of the Razer Razer will gradually fade as your hair regrows. However, if you’d like to immediately perform worse, we recommend temporarily switching to non-Razer products.
