Tan became a trained technology attorney working in the areas of intellectual property and technology. Tan told the story in a MEGamers.
The two were sharing a small office in San Diego, California with a few other gamers at the time. That explains the unique spelling of the company name. Tan said that the founders knew that their product was going to dominate others.
They considered what dominates mice, and knew it was snakes- who easily eat mice. They thought their product looked like it had just eaten a Logitech mouse for lunch. They decided to name their amazing new product after the South African Boomslang snake. After that, Tan and his team thought it was funny to name their all their mice products after poisonous snakes. The first Razer mouse used the same green color as the Boomslang snakes.
Now some Razer mice are named Mamba, DeathAdder, Lancehead, and more Since their mice are named for snakes, it followed logically that their logo should, too. Today, gamers all over the world automatically recognize the Razer logo with its triple-headed, acid green snakes.
He also asks people to just call him Min. That also goes for his employees, who regularly refer to him as just Min. But Chief Gamer is for his gaming fans. The news that the coupon was online spread like wildfire through Facebook, Twitter, and social media and thousands of orders were placed within just one hour.
But the Razer team discussed the issue and decided that they wanted to bring the customer the very best possible experience. In the end, the decision was made to honor most of those fake coupons. Razer has a goal of demanding perfection. Min describes this as necessary for reaching the perfect intersection between technology and human ergonomics. Fargo responded that he was indeed grateful for the donation and that it certainly made up for the past, and more.
Tan had contributed to the highest possible donation tier. Log in or Sign up. Log in Razer Insider. Why does razer name products with snake names and mythological names Discussion in ' General Discussion ' started by idkwhatnametochoose , Feb 15, Elfreid , Feb 15, I guess it start by joke and become huge thing. Razer 1st product was Diamondback. So they go with the flow.
Haksunen , Feb 16, The Huntsman family is descriptively named because they run and chase their prey like a conventional predator instead of weaving trap webs. The largest, the giant huntsman spider of Laos , can be nearly a foot long. Its laptops are generally among the best in the gaming niche and have appeal even beyond for their stealth fighter looks.
The Firefly series was its first with built-in LEDs. It fits pretty perfectly. They often manifest as humans with the head of a cobra, or as multi-headed snakes. The latter might have been the inspiration for the mouse, as its signature feature has up to 12 thumb buttons, the better to bind for complex attacks in online RPGs, MOBAs, or RTS games.
The mamba family of African snakes is among the most dangerous in the world, and the black mamba in particular might be the most dangerous, thanks to a combination of territorial aggression and fast-acting neurotoxic venom. Probably best known now for that bit in Harry Potter , the basilisk is a monster with a lot of mythological weight behind it. Famously, the basilisk turns you to stone with its gaze. At the time of writing, Razer has only one monitor, the stylish but somewhat overpriced inch Raptor.
Alternately, it could name them after dinosaurs, a decision I will preemptively endorse. The Kraken is a giant sea monster of Norse myth, generally represented as a giant squid or octopus. Big squid, big drivers… yeah, it works. I suppose snakes are ambidextrous, in that they are equally inept at using either right or left hands. The Viper is on the lower end of the snake-mouse scale for lack of distinctive branding. A bonus factor is association with a series of long-range missiles.
Even so, naming a controller after a legendary lightning beast of Japanese folklore is pretty metal.
