(Undisclosed Location) - June 26, 2006 - From the very
beginning, KODE5 has sought to spread the message of
competitive gaming to the world. Since the KODE5 Global Launch
at CeBIT 2006, global supporters Foxconn and Corsair Memory
were the first to step up and join our cause. Today, KODE5 is
proud to announce that Razer, maker of high-end computer gaming
peripherals, has joined the KODE5 Global Gaming Revolution as a
Global Supporter. As a Global Supporter, Razer will be
supplying their cutting-edge gaming peripherals for use at
KODE5 events in over 20+ countries worldwide. In cooperation
with KODE5, gamers around the world will be able to experience
first hand the difference Razer gaming peripherals make.
Razer's claim to fame came with the development of the world's
first gaming mouse - the Razer Boomslang. Winner of
numerous industry awards, the Boomslang was the weapon of
choice for many gamers, and established Razer as a world leader
in high-performance gaming peripherals. Since then, Razer has
constantly improved both their 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. Its latest gaming mouse the
Razer Copperhead, boasts laser technology that delivers
2000 dpi tracking precision, on-board memory, and a full-speed
USB bus. Not content with only developing mice, Razer has since
launched an entire lineup of performance gaming peripherals,
including 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. "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!" "Foxconn is excited to be working with such a
veteran of the gaming industry," says Foxconn Global Marketing
Manager Christin Wang. "By working with all of the KODE5
supporters, we can show to the world how Foxconn products
synergize with the best gaming products on the planet to
produce an incredible gaming experience." "Known for their
commitment to the gaming community, Corsair is glad to be in
good company with Razer joining KODE5," notes Scott Thirlwell,
Corsair APAC Sales Director. "Corsair looks forward to
increased cooperation with Razer at KODE5 events worldwide."
"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." For more
