What: Q&A and Giveaway with Razer
When: Wednesday, August 2nd 12PM EST
Where: The Tom’s Guide Laptop Forums!
Who: Kevin Sather and the Razer Laptop Systems Team
 
Will we see more Razer mice with tilt-wheels? I really like that feature, in games as much as in office applications, and have been disappointed in recent years that so few products have it. I have largish hands, so side buttons tend to be very awkward for me to use. I can't be the only one.
 
Very excited to hear from Kevin.

Just one question: One of the common themes I'm seeing in the latest rounds of reviews is that the Razer Blade Pro overheats beyond comfortable measures, as Sherri noted in hers: https://www.laptopmag.com/reviews/laptops/razer-blade-pro

My question is: What is the team doing to combat heating issues in the latest rounds of technology? Will there be changes to the design of the laptop or changes to the material used inside the laptop?
 
My oldest really likes your stuff! He's been tinkering about with laptops here and there, and he's talked about going to school for computer science. What would you suggest to a 14-year-old boy about taking his hobby to the next step?
 
Does the Razer Laptop already equipped with Razer Green/Orange/Yellow switches?? if no can you try making one??
 
What was it like designing and making the black widow chroma and it becoming one of the most iconic keyboards of the gaming community (and any Chance you can send me a test copy 😛)
 
Two questions:

1. Will we see more physical stores or on-site stores?

2. I'm a huge fan of colors, got Chromas from head to toe. I was just wondering, will we see more color variation? Lately, there's been yellow-ish themed products for O.W., and in the past, there have been solid color headsets from mobile devices. Will there a be a chance that Keyboard costumization can follow through more than just clickers and lighting effects?

(My favorite color is pink, nothing out of the ordinary , and It's hard to find good gaming gear that goes with my favorite color. I'd like to find a sleek looking keyboard that's as comfortable as a Chroma Black Widow but in pastel pink.)
 
MERGED QUESTION
Question from Anhquan_1 : "Razer Blade Stealth"



 
Hey there, I've been a fan of Razer for a few years and recently bought some of the products. But I want to know, do you guys have any plan of making a Razer router/modem in future?
 
Last year, Corsair announced ideas for a wireless charging solution called Qi, whilst Logitech demonstrated their own Powerplay device at GDC 2017.

Following release of the Firefly, has Razer ever considered updating their own line-up of mice (particularly those for eSports like the Lancehead or Mamba, or the macro-inclined Naga Epic Chroma) to support wireless charging?
 
I have never been a headset guy personally. so my question is:
Will we be seeing more stand alone usb/xlr microphones like the Razer Seiren?
 
I have two questions:

1. I've been told by numerous reps that the 10 key number pad on mechanical keyboards is becoming a thing of the past. Is this true? Will it be noticeable on future Razer keyboards?

2. What happened to Razer's triple display monster laptop that was in the works? I noticed it is no longer available.Or was that just a concept that could be manufactured?
 
MERGED QUESTION
Question from queenxene : "Where can I get more razer stickers? I love them."

Not really a tech question. I know everytime you buy a razer product the provide one or two stickers and I've used them all. I love the stickers and would like to know if they sell packs in the future.
 

We were excited to roll out our laptops to parts of the European last year, and plan to continue to grow the awareness and availability of them in the region. We've seen a ton of interest in the Gunmetal version of the new Razer Blade Stealth since it's announcement at E3. The new color features a tone-on-tone THS logo, black USB ports (instead of our usual green), and a subtle, non-Chroma white backlit keyboard. We will be shipping it very soon to North American customers. We'll keep an eye on the demand from our European fans for that version, and do our best to meet them.
 

Awareness! We now have such a great range of laptops that deliver performance blended with portability. The Razer Blade Stealth now has a 13.3" display option and new Gunmetal color, the 0.70" thin Razer Blade continues to balance power and mobility with a Quad-Core i7 CPU and GeForce GTX 1060 graphics, and the Razer Blade Pro tops the line up with an amazing 4K display, overclocked Quad-Core CPU, GeForce GTX 1080 graphics, and so much more, in a chassis that is just 0.88" thin.

With this line up of products, we have laptops to fit a wide variety of users needs. We design and build these for gamers, and everything they do with their PCs, and making sure everyone knows about these great laptops is one of the biggest things we're working to change.
 


I doubt we'll see additional microphones, though I think they may update the Seiren and Seiren Pro with Chroma.
 

Thermal management is one of the biggest challenges our engineers face when designing thin and powerful notebooks. The Razer Blade Pro – at 0.88 inches thin – launched as the thinnest notebook to come equipped with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080. We designed one of the world’s thinnest vapor chambers from the ground up to help cool the laptop, and utilized something we call touch-point thermals to push heat away from where users touch the laptop.

Nonetheless, we have heard this feedback. There are always ways to manage thermals better, and that’s something we’ve challenged our engineers to continually improve upon in all of our laptops, including the Razer Blade Pro.


 

Yes! We are big proponents of users trying our hardware and seeing the difference themselves before buying. In July, our Blade Stealth and Blade became available for hands-on demos at Best Buy. More users than ever before can go into local stores and try our laptops for themselves.

To find the store nearest you, visit the Best Buy product pages and click on “Store Pickup.”

As for colors, Razer Chroma offers endless customization options for the lighting effects. Thanks for the feedback, we're always exploring new ways to meet our fans requests.
 

Good question! We see the Blade Stealth as a great productivity laptop to take with you to school or work, and for users that need more performance, we offer the Razer Core external GPU enclosure. A single Thunderbolt cable is all you need to connect the two devices, unlocking desktop-like performance on the Blade Stealth Ultrabook. Further, the Core enables users to continually upgrade their GPU as new components become available.

For those looking for more power from the laptop itself, we offer the 14-inch Razer Blade laptop. The chassis is slightly thicker than the 13.3-inch Blade Stealth but comes equipped with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 GPU, and Quad-Core processor.

 
I've got two questions(and yes, i realized i posted this elsewhere by accident)

1. Will a Razer store potentially open up in the Chicago area?

2. Is Razer maybe thinking about making a VR headset/system?
