Razer is one of the world's best-known manufacturers of gaming-dedicated peripherals, the company's products enjoying quite a high level of success among most gamers out there. And in order to keep its customers happy and satisfy all their gaming needs, the company has just announced the release of two hot peripherals, the Razer Lycosa keyboard and Razer Piranha headset, which will surely entice users with their advanced features, as well as very cool looks.

The Razer Lycosa is designed for fast, efficient gameplay and superior actions-per-minute thanks to its 1000Hz Ultrapolling/1ms response time. By offering illuminated, non-slip rubber keys and Hyperesponse technology, gamers can operate under any conditions and at professional gaming speed. Durable and ultra-portable, the Razer Lycosa is fit for the most heated LAN gaming sessions by offering immediately accessible USB, earphone and microphone jacks.

Moreover, each key on the Razer Lycosa is fully programmable to accept a large number of complex gaming commands and button combinations. The TouchPanel ensures that gamers always have control over all functions of the chosen media player. With the ability to save up to 10 different profiles, gamers can customize thousands of keystrokes for their favorite Real Time Strategy, First Person Shooter, Massively Multiplayer Online or virtually any other genre defining game.

The second product launched by Razer, namely the Piranha set of headphones, delivers realistic in-game stereo audio with superior clarity and deep bass tones for discerning gamers requiring superior audio fidelity. Featuring plug-and-play functionality, the Razer Piranha also sports an adjustable noise-canceling microphone enabling gamers to communicate with teammates in the noisiest of gaming situations. The ergonomically designed and cushioned earphones also offer hours of comfort and functionality for extended gaming sessions.

With its in-line remote control, the volume on the Razer Piranha can be easily adjusted at a moment's notice. A microphone mute button is also conveniently located on the remote, so gamers have the option to select which commands are sent out to those listening in. The Razer Piranha's sleek design is further accented by the glowing Razer logos located on either side of the headset, ensuring that gamers are seen as well as heard at their next LAN party.

"This year is particularly sweet as we have been selected for three years as the official mouse of the WCG Finals, and are also 2007's official keyboard and headset at the Grand Final. Additionally, we are proud to announce the Razer Lycosa Keyboard and the Razer Piranha Headset in Seattle. These are both expected to be instant classic Razer products offering PC gamers a distinct advantage in their game of choice," said Robert "Razerguy" Krakoff, president of Razer.

Both the Razer Lycosa gaming keyboard and the Piranha headset will retail for around $79.99, which is not exactly a very small sum, but it's worth it, taking into consideration the advanced features these things can offer.
