When it comes to your gaming performance on the computer, there are three essentials which any serious gamer worth his or her salt will need to consider, and I am speaking for peripherals here instead of the slew of high performance parts required in your liquid cooled machine. A gaming keyboard that will allow your fingers to reach those keys in double quick time, ensuring that these keys do not jam up at the most crucial moment, a gaming mouse which will be able to keep up with your crazy fast reflexes, and of course, a gaming mouse mat to ensure that your gaming mouse achieves its maximum performance capability – limited only by your skill. If you already own all of that and are unable to make any headway in your game, then perhaps it is time to reconsider this potential “career path” and concentrate on your day job instead. Still, for those who are still searching for the “perfect” gaming mouse mat, here is the Razer Goliathus gaming mouse mat for you to consider.

The Razer Goliathus gaming mouse mat has just received a redesign recently, where the latest gaming surface will be able to further distinguish itself from other gaming mouse mats, where it will not only maintain the beloved speed-enhancing and control-precise features found in its predecessor, it will also be able to offer a maximum level of performance so that serious gamers who make the cut might be able to use this as the launch pad to gaming stardom. Thanks to a dense, anti-fraying, long-lasting stitched frame, the surface will remain sharp for consistent tournament performance all the time.

There is the “Control Edition” of the Goliathus that will boast of a heavy weave with micro-textures on the surface, delivering just the right amount of friction so that your gaming mouse will work at its most efficient. Available in small, medium, large and extended sizes, it will retail for $14.99, $19.99, $24.99 and $34.99, respectively.

When it comes to gaming peripherals, most gamers do not want to compromise – especially the hardcore ones, since they more or less believe that their performance is being limited by the hardware that they use. Much to most of their chagrin, it is the other way around, and regardless of how good a piece of hardware you are using at the moment, your gaming skills are more or less maxed out some time ago. Well, if you are a staunch believer that your gaming performance will be raised to the next level with the right hardware, then perhaps it is time you checked out the Razer Tartarus membrane gaming keypad.

Specially developed with ergonomic comfort and touting “infinite” customization options, the Razer Tartarus will continue from where the hugely popular, award-winning Razer Nostromo left off. The Razer Tartarus will boast of an increasingly comfortable form factor in addition to 25 programmable keys that will comprise of an eight-way directional thumb pad to boot. This particular thumb pad lets you move around with additional precision, all the while functioning as modifier keys as and when required, which in turn multiplies the keyset count by eight so that you end up with 128 different command options.

Apart from that, there is also support for unlimited macro lengths and unlimited game profiles, and if you are interested in picking one up, it is already available today for $79.99/€79.99 a pop. [Press Release]

Most PC gamers are content to game on the standard QWERTY keyboard layout, but a select few prefer a special niche peripheral: the keypad. Razer’s been building these single-hand keyboards since it helped Belkin create the n52te SpeedPad and it’s still at it, today announcing the Razer Tartarus. Featuring 15 face keys and 25 programmable buttons (including an eight-way directional thumb pad), the Tartarus is billed as a successor to Razer’s Nostromo — although it actually has more in common with the $130 Orbweaver.

Like the high-end keypad, the Tartarus has fully programmable keys with unlimited-length macro support, Razer Synapse 2.0 for profile syncing and key-binding and the company’s modern design language, but it eschews the Orbweaver’s articulating ergonomics and mechanical keys to hit a lower $79 price point. These efforts shaved 50 percent off of the product’s sticker price, but also cost it an additional row of keys. We spent a few minutes with the device and were pleased at how well it worked right out of the box, handily emulating the standard WASD gaming setup it’s built around. We did miss the Orbweaver’s additional buttons, however, as the smaller keypad’s three-row setup left us reaching for a row of numerical analogs that simply weren’t there. It’s not the game controller for everyone, but it’s good to know that there are options for niche peripheral fans on a budget. Read on for the company’s official press announcement.

Just what do you do when you happen to be at the pinnacle of your game? Why, you improve of course – remaining at the same place would just ensure that your competitors will catch up with you and eventually take over the coveted top spot that you used to occupy. Well, the Razer Naga MMO gaming mouse has been pretty much the best gaming mouse for the MMO genre to date, and also the best selling one, too, but even the best needs a kick in the butt once in a while, and that is exactly what Razer has done by offering the Razer Naga MMO gaming mouse 2014 edition.

This all new Razer Naga will boast of enhanced ergonomics, a re-designed mechanical thumb grid as well as a revolutionary in-game MMO configurator which should be able to make sure that your MMO gaming experience will never be the same again. For starters, its iconic 12-button thumb grid will now come outfitted with mechanical switches for increased tactility, speed and actuation assurance. Each of the buttons on the thumb grid will stand out in a more pronounced way than before, making it possible to blind-find them so that gamers can execute commands in a jiffy. Apart from that, its ergonomic form factor has also been updated, delivering a broader shape so that your hand will feel more comfortable holding it.

Both the fourth and fifth finger rests will now come with a gentler down-slope in order to promote better grip while reducing fatigue over an extended period of play. Not only that, Razer’s latest Naga will also boast of a tilt-click scroll wheel which can click in and out as well as left and right, giving gamers even more buttons than before at their disposal. This is definitely a nice bump from the 2009 predecessor, and if you are interested in upping your game, then the asking price of $79.99 for this puppy should not deter you, right?
