New Razer Accessories Help You Game on the Go and Upgrade Your At-Home Setup
Razer is introducing three new products, including an “ultra portable” keyboard that measures only 0.65 inches thick. The Razer Joro, designed for gamers on the go, is on sale now for $139.99. It weighs just 374 grams (0.82 pounds) while retaining a thin profile that should be easy to fit inside a backpack. Although the Joro is compact, the keyboard still features a function row and full-size arrow keys. “Its ultra low-profile design promotes an ergonomic hand position, reducing strain for all-day gaming and work,” Razer says. “The gaming-grade keys provide quick, precise actuation and satisfying tactile feedback, complemented by UV-coated ABS keycaps for durability.”(Credit: Razer)(Credit: Razer)The keyboard also supports Mac, iPad, and Windows devices, while a dedicated Copilot key provides to access Microsoft’s AI assistant. Razer also says the Joro can connect to a Steam Deck and other third-party devices through a Bluetooth connection. Owners can expect up to 1,849 hours in battery life, but only in power saving mode. Otherwise, the Joro only lasts around 5 hours if the RGB lighting is fully activated.To pair with the Joro, the company has also released the Razer Basilisk Mobile, a lightweight and compact mouse, which is on sale for $89.99. It weighs in at 76 grams (0.16 pounds) with up to 105 hours of battery life.

In addition, the mouse is designed to integrate with Razer’s “AI Prompt Master,” which can quickly pull up generative AI chatbots, including ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot. The company’s third product is the Razer Clio, a cushion headrest with a built-in speaker that's targeted at niche buyers of high-end gaming chairs.(Credit: Razer)At $229, it's not cheap. But Razer says the Clio boasts immersive sound, so you won't need to wear a traditional gaming headset. “Surround sound can often be complex, but with Razer Clio, use it as a standalone primary speaker, delivering powerful and clear audio on its own, or pair it with your existing front speakers on Synapse 4 [Razer software] to enjoy a richer surround sound experience,” the company says. (Credit: Razer)The Clio features dual speakers with two 43mm full-range drivers. Users can switch between "three distinct EQ" audio modes meant for gaming, movies, or music. The headrest also promises to be comfy, thanks to a “plush memory foam,” Razer says. The product can connect to a USB-C cable or run on batteries for up to 14 hours. The Clio is currently up for preorder and launches on May 16. Stay tuned for our reviews.
