Kode5 today announced that Razer, maker of high-end computer gaming peripherals, has joined the Kode5 Global Gaming Revolution as a Global Supporter, and the company promised to supply enhanced gaming peripherals for use at Kode5 events which take place in over 20 countries worldwide.

Kode5 gathers most of the best gamers in tournaments, which take place in more than 16 countries all over the world. The winners then fly to an undisclosed location to compete against the world's gaming elite. As all the competitions are broadcasted on popular TV stations, and as the number of attendants is rising every year, the Kode5 Global Finals promises to amass the best in the gaming world. But this remains to be seen in this year's event.

"Razer, who has been active since 1999 in the sponsoring of major computer gaming tournaments, is proud to be one of the main global sponsors of KODE5," said Robert "Razerguy" Krakoff, President, Razer Group. "The mouse, mousepad, keyboard, headphones and audio card are the most important weapons in a gamer's arsenal and with Razer providing the official suite of gaming peripherals and prizes for all KODE5 tournaments worldwide, it is an endorsement of Razer as the world's leading designer of high performance gaming peripherals. We are confident that Razer's sponsorship will allow gamers to achieve their optimum performance during the games!"

Razer's jackpot was, in fact, a gaming mouse, which has been chosen by numerous gamers as their 'sword' - the Razer Boomslang. Moreover, the Boomslang is a winner of numerous industry awards. From that moment on, Razer has improved both the designs and technology, and over time has developed numerous other gaming mice, including the Razer Viper 1000 dpi optical mouse, the 1600 dpi Razer Diamondback optical mouse and the manufacturer's latest gaming mouse - the Razer Copperhead, which is said to boast laser technology that delivers 2000 dpi tracking precision, on-board memory, and a full-speed USB bus.

But the company hasn't developed only mice, but also other gaming peripherals such as Razer eXactMat and Razer Mantis gaming surfaces, the Razer Tarantula gaming keyboard, the Razer Armadillo cable management system, and the all-new Razer Barracuda Integrated Audio system.

"Choosing the right supporters for Kode5 is essential in bringing the absolute best gaming experience to gamers around the world," notes Kode5 Revolutionary-in-Command Lester Lau. "Supporting the Global Gaming Revolution is another fine example of Razer actively supporting the gaming community in a big way. We are proud to have them aboard."
