About Razer

Razer Inc. was founded in 2005 by Min-Liang Tan, who is still its CEO, and Robert Krakoff, after the two bought the rights to the Razer brand. The name dates back to a gaming mouse business started in San Diego in 1998. Razer is dual-headquartered in Singapore and Irvine, California, with regional offices in Hamburg and Shanghai. It was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2017 and went private again in 2022. Razer makes gaming mice, keyboards, headsets, controllers and Blade laptops, along with its Synapse and Chroma RGB software and the Razer Gold payment service. Its logo is a green triple-headed snake.
