We take a look at Razer's venture into the realm of audio by checking out the Razer Barracuda HP-1 headsets. Does it stack well against the likes of other gaming headphones?

Have you ever wanted a really good optical gaming mouse, but see no need for "professional" mice with multiple side buttons? If so, the Razer Krait might just be the answer to your prayers. The Krait boasts a 1600 dpi optical sensor with a frame rate of 6400 fps, a 16-bit data channel and a gold USB connector for bling bling.

The card itself is a built on a nice black PCB that should look good installed on many motherboards. The Passive EMI shield has a nice graphic on it, not that you'll ever see it once it is installed. But if you do have a windowed case, Razer has a nice little surprise designed to add a little style. The familiar neon green usually associated with Razer, and missing with the HP-1 headset, is well represented here. A small piece of black plexi with green lettering is placed at the top of the card. Behind it is a double row of green LED's positioned to illuminate the Razer logo. Nice touch.

The Razer DeathAdder is an exceptionally well-designed mouse with an 1800DPI 3G infrared sensor, five buttons, 16-bit data channel, and a variety of other features. In this review, we have our thoughts on this new Razer mouse after having experimented with it for several weeks.

With the Tarantula Razer has created a keyboard that is designed to suit the needs of gamers. The keyboard offers programmable macro keys and lets you also reorganize your keyboard layout by swapping keys. As always, Razer's software is intuitive to use and offers a lot of features. Unfortunately with a $129.99 price tag the keyboard is fairly expensive.

Razer has always been known to produce some of the best mice and sensors on the market. They established their reputation with the Razer Diamondback which has now found a worthy successor. The Razer DeathAdder is the best mouse we ever tested, in both low sensitivity and high sensitivity. The bundled control panel is a breeze to work with and boasts a huge number of features. With a price of $59.95 this mouse also offers an excellent price/performance ratio.

Rollerballs, optical and even laser mice are now old school, making way for Razer's latest mouse; the Death Adder which features an infra red optical sensor. It's wide, ergonomic and looks a lot like Microsoft's Intelli mice. Has Razer changed? Read on to find out?

Razer are well known for their mice; including the Copperhead and Krait. What most people don't realize is that the surface that you play on makes a huge difference to the mouse's accuracy. Today we test the Razer Mantis; designed for control.

Razer has been known for their array of professional gaming mice while recently we had looked at their Barracuda AC-1 and HP-1 audio products, but how well is this company able produce a professional gaming keyboard? After months of anticipation the Razer Tarantula Keyboard is finally shipping to retailers, and we happen to have our hands on this keyboard to see whether it is worth using under Linux.

The Razer Barracuda HP-1 is a unique headset which offers true surround sound. A number of small speakers in the headphone are placed at different positions and are driven by a small amplifier included with the headphones. Now you can enjoy positional sound effects while using a headset. In our testing we found out that this makes quite a difference in games like Counter-Strike or Battlefield, where you can locate enemies based on the sounds they make.

Razer are known the world over for their high DPI gaming mice and awesome precision mouse mats. Their Copperhead and Boomslang mice are legendary and I am sure there are literally millions of frags that can be acredited to these gaming periperhals. The only down side with Razer products is the price. That's where the Krait comes in; high DPI, lower price. Sounds like a perfect combination? That's because it is.

Razer have been producing some of the world's top gaming peripherals for years. From the Boomslang to the Copperhead, and the Exact Mat to the Mantis, Razer have made their mark. However now Razer are branching out a little and trying to make a name for themselves in the world of audio, specifically gaming headsets. Bringing their traditional standards of aesthetics and style, will Razer's new Barracuda impress?

I said the HP-1 has big cans; the reason is that there is a lot going on inside. There has to be enough room for four speakers and hopefully enough room that they can provide accurate sound separation. If you look closely you can see the front and rear speakers are canted away from each other, presumably to afford greater separation. The sub-woofer sits behind the front, rear and center speakers.

Razer is known for making gaming products, more specifically mice, so going into the audio market is a new venture for them. They start off this new venture with 2 products; the AC-1 sound card and the HP-1 gaming headphones. We are going to be taking a look at the HP-1 headphones today. These headphones feature eight discrete audio drivers, a built-in microphone and a 99% oxygen-free cable. Let's see if these headphones can compete with the other popular gaming headphones out there and Razer can make a name for themselves in the audio market.
