Razer's Tron gear - really?

Verdict:
Might actually be good...

We got a crate-load of Razer gear over Xmas, and here's the first lot to grab our interest - a set of Tron-themed gaming gear.

Okay, first up, we're not even going to comment on the film. Mainly because we've not seen it. Might be a bit behind the times on that one.

However, one thing I am sure we can all agree on is that Olivia Wilde is hotness itself. We're not sure, however, if that hotness translates into matched pair of Tron gaming peripherals - a mouse and a mouse mat from Razer.

Both feature designs inspired by the film, in terms of form and colour, and... glowiness. The mat features luminescent strips, the mouse is of course lit to hell and back, and the PR bumpf even suggests your mouse actions leave a light trail across the mat as you move.

Only, we've not actually gotten that to work just yet. But we'll keep trying, and we'll be including a full review of this kit in the next issue - for now, check out our gallery. If you want some more info, click through to Razer's official page.

Also, quiz time: as I said, we've a mess of new Razer gear, so what do you folks want to see next on the photo table? Some Starcraft 2 gear... or the new Black Widow mechanical keyboard?

I own a BlackWidow, been using it for a fair while. Imagine having sex on a water-bed with silk covers and it's somewhat similar to typing on the BW.

bring on photos of the Black widow, might finally be enough to displace my gen 1 G15.

Honestly, I don't like Razer gear as much as I used to. It feels like, in an effort to appeal to a larger customer base, they've started to spend too much time worrying about the 'bling' factor of their products.

Vote: TRON Keyboard

(I know its not for sale yet but maybe you guys got a review sample??)

Ive seen videos of the Mouse Pad "light trail" and while it looks fun it also looks like it would get old real fast.
Kind of like a diabetic (like me) getting a tattoo of a crosshairs on their stomach. Sounds like a great idea for the first 5 minutes...

How about showing me some SC2 gear? I bought the BW to use in SC2. I wanna know if I made the right choice over the Marauder!
