Sadly didn't watch it. 10 hours time difference with Greece and had work that day. Reading through the impressions here now. Let's see what exciting stuff I missed. Thanks for the feedback gamers!

I am forgetting an important health safety note, I would like to share a tip for covid masks, I hope you will share with all of your partners and Razer company employee.
Because the influencers kept putting their hands on their masks during the show.

After installing the protective mask on your face, you should not touch it with your hands except when you take it off, this is really important to avoid the spread of contamination and if it does not have a nose rest for to prevent it from slipping, use a piece of tape or sparadrag between the nose and the mask so that it does not slip.

I hope you find my advice helpful.

Take care of yourself, your family and friends, :)

❤ This is lovely advice and very politely phrased. Lovely. :-)

I thought it was pretty cool. There were some unexpected announcements, there were some expected announcements. I really liked most of the products and partnerships that were announced. It was really cool to see chroma expanded and supported by third parties, the motherboard partnership was awesome and cannot wait to see what other manufactures can do by partnering / supporting chroma in their hardware.

Deep down I do wish there was an announcement for the Razer Phone 3, but it's not a huge deal. Overall it was a super fun stream and event to take part in.

Very nice
I was riveted! I logged on about 10 mins after the start, and watched right up until the end of the after show. I very much liked the keynote presentation, the trailer for the "documentary" for sneki snake had me in stitches (and I love the conservation partnership), I very much enjoyed PCMR Pedro's presentation and his building of the new rig (and wished very much that I had won it, or the grand prize for that matter :smile_:). The after show was great, all performers were good, but Deadmau5 was my favourite, with Dragonforce and the request for emojis a close 2nd. As a side note, about 3/4s way through the event (first time I have sat so long in a very long time) I realized that I REALLY needed a new chair, so the Iskur is on pre-order. All in all, it was a good day, and I really appreciated being able to participate in the event.

I think most of us were expecting toaster, and as far as i know no news about it yet?

Yeah, my hopes were going down as the con was going on.

Would've been even better if I had Chroma

I've watched all of it except for 20 min of the keynote for family emergency and that was maybe the most important ones for me.
It was the announcement of the partnership with Conservation International (which I don't deny how much it represents), but I've been hyped as never before when I saw, with a recap between 2 events, the launch of the Chroma motherboards.
I'll soon change my whole setup, and one thing that has always bothered me since the growing popularity of RGB is the almost impossible task of reunite all components under the same software control.
I've been longing for the day where Razer would make some internal components like mobo, GPU and fans (especially the fans) so i could sync them with my peripherals.

And the Razercon granted me of the first step toward this dream.
Can't wait to see something like Chroma backplates for GPU, fans, RAM cooling...
There's an endless ideas that comes in my mind and this post would be infinite too.

As for my global feelings about the con itself, it was awesome.
I didn't have the chance to follow such a big event live (streamed or being there) for years and few were so fascinating.
It made me go through a sleepless night (form 5PM to 8AM, sunday has been hard to keep up^^) but it was worth it.

It's great to see how things are done behind the scene, and the interview of godlike people as John Romero reminds me my firsts gaming years playing Wolfenstein and Doom.

Ending such a great night with a live from Herman Li followed by Sabaton made it unforgettable.

It will be a very long year waiting for the next episode.

PS : my children all want a Sneki Snek for Christmas

Wait a second, can you get the "nice" achievement multiple times? Oh well, I tried to be on for most of the razer-con and it was really cool! Would have thought that Razer would give out a small amount of silver to everyone watching the stream at some point, or release the toaster, that would be something they would do. I think the plushie is a bit too expensive for a plushie, but I see why. Since first of all, it's Razer, and second of all, they are planting 10 trees for each plush sold. I'm probably not getting anything released on razer-con, but I might. I also feel like Razer's partnership with Amazon on prime-day should have had more deals. I just saw that they were selling stuff on Amazon, didn't see any deals on Prime day. I feel like Razer should open more Razer stores because none of them are even close to where I live. I know this is supposed to be about Razer-con and that I went off-topic, but that's just what I think.
Userlevel 7
Now that's a plushie i'd really like to have, its so cute. The rumors came eventually true about it. I'm glad.
Userlevel 7
personally, i like the Iskur best. but i'm going to hold on to my money a bit longer to check out the actual usage reviews and abuse of the Iskur first. pleasantly surprised by the pricing... definitely in my plans to get one soon.
Basically, I'm from India and I have to Watch the program from 9:30 PM to 1:00 AM. I can't even sleep because of the on going party done by #RAZER. It was wonderful. Overall a very well-done presentation. I really hope this becomes a thing, when the world is allowed to come back together again. It would be really cool to go (or) wherever the convention is and attend in person. But watching it from home was enjoyable as well. Regardless, can't wait for #Razercon2021 in all its glory and #THANK YOU RAZER for all those giveaways.
Userlevel 7
The best I think is that in some sections, my Razer keyboard's chroma was synergy with the theme of the current event. That is none of the company could do nor Apple's con or other crappy gaming peripheral company imitaters

I stayed for the most part, only had to go away for the afterparty, but the event was awesome. The keynote given by Min-Liang was superb, he really brings out the best in the Razer community. And SNEKIIIII, mine arrived yesterday and I'm sooo happy with it, definitely the best Razer product out there (besides the eventual Toaster)!

I logged in at 8:30 Am for the start of the show and popped in on and off to see different segments of the program. I thought that the idea to check in with the store in LV was a great idea as they were genuinely interested in the different panelists and announcements throughout the day and could provide raw reactions and opinions as the show progressed.

The keynote at 9 am was amazing; I missed that style of presentation since covid hit with a presenter on a huge stage ready to dish what they've got in store. Plus the integration of the RGB and the global chats onstage was very well done. The Iskur looked very comfortable, Wireless kitten headset looks fashionable as always (sidenote: the TikTok dance challenge was slightly cringey but fun), Seiren mini looks very functionally versatile, Tomahawk is clean and sleek, and all the chroma stuff looked very cool. But I'm a poor college kid who can't afford any of these and just enjoy looking at them.

Love the environmental initiative with the Sneki Snek. Cute plush with the 10 trees planted ambition to boot, well done Razer.

I think some more versatility with the chroma would be appreciated. From what I observed the chroma functionality has to be licensed out to different companies. I think the option to integrate chroma with smart lights would help people make their setups even better. Yes, the Christmas lights looked cool, and I can already imagine people doing non-Christmas stuff with them. But even just a generic light strip with RGB would make a world of difference, and maybe inspire people to make those toasters that they've begged razer for years.

Question about the giveaways: is the #razercon2020 grand raffle still ongoing? I heard that they were extended to a week after the show but I can't find conclusive evidence. I won the 5 gold/500 silver giveaway so that was well appreciated.

After party was pretty lit too. The acts all did a fantastic job and their setups with the RGB were very slick. I can only imagine what it must have looked like with an RGB setup synced to the music.

Overall a very well-done presentation. I really hope this becomes a thing IRL when the world is allowed to come back together again. It would be really cool to go out to vegas or wherever the convention is and attend in person. But watching it from home was enjoyable as well. Regardless, can't wait for Razercon2021 in all its glory.

Hello friends,

I have to admit that I was surprised by the Razercon, it was the best event of 2020 for me.
Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan made a perfect presentation, in order of preference:

- The new Razer Kraken BT kitty edition headset thanks to its ultra light weight is great news, as I often find the headphones too bulky and heavy to compare to airpods, but here we have the advantage of quartz chroma kitty ears and lightness, perfect.
The Tick Tock dance challenge "#Razerlearntomeow was also great fun well done for the initiative.

- The partnership with the Conservation International association, the Razer company proves once again that it is a responsible company in favor of ecology, it gives me great pleasure because our planet is really in danger if we do not protect the trees , we destroy the protective atmosphere of the planet and all forms of life, I am proud of Razer, Thank you Min-liang Tan for creating Sneki Snek every purchase saves 10 trees, Besides, he's so cute, ^ _ ^

- The Razer Viper Ultimate Cyberpunk 2077 Edition mouse.

- Razer Iskur Gaming Chair, I hope you will also do a Quartz version.

- Finally, PC case, Asrock chroma motherboard, Blade laptop
Show was pretty cool👍
It was really good event, i was looking primery for new products, the chair is very nice, hope someday it will available in Europe. The Tomahawk is another product very intersting for me. The disappointment for me was the time, it was during the night, so i have to skip alot of it, but thats my problem 🙂

I enjoyed it, this con was long over due

I liked the interviews and panels. Watching product managers showcasing products was nice, and I do hope that seeing these guys doing demo's becomes a regular thing

I do hope one day for things to return to normal in the world, and this become a thing IRL

At one point, I even contemplated making the drive out to the vegas store to say "hello" to those on camera 🙂
