3 comments

With every big PC game release, Razer releases a branded peripheral line-up. With the upcoming release of Blizzard Entertainment's StarCraft 2: Heart of the Swarm, Razer announced that it is re-releasing its peripheral lineup for the expansion. That means you're getting the Razer Spectre StarCraft 2 Gaming Mouse, the Razer Marauder StarCraft 2 Gaming Keyboard and the Razer Banshee StarCraft 2 Gaming Headset -- all designed specifically for one of the best RTS games ever made.

The peripherals feature custom-backlighting through an APM (Actions-Per-Minute) Lighting System. It offers a fully integrated experience that responds to a player's maneuvers and speed. Each of the peripherals are also designed with elements from the StarCraft universe. If you're in the market for one of these peripherals, it's hard to look further than Razer, but only StarCraft fans will really be interested in branded products.
