TALON announces Razer partnership

Hong Kong-based esports organisation TALON Esports has announced a partnership with gaming hardware brand Razer.

As part of the deal, Razer will provide TALON Esports with peripherals to support the brand’s teams across various titles.

TALON’s VALORANT and Counter-Strike 2 teams will benefit from the deal. Moreover, PSG TALON’s League of Legends and Rainbow 6 Siege teams have been included in the partnership.

The players competing for TALON will be provided with the Razer Viper V3 Pro wireless esports mouse and the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro line of analogue optical switch keyboards. The keyboard in question has been in the headlines recently due to the controversial Snap Tap feature that Razer created. Snap Tap gives players a significant advantage while counter-strafing in first-person shooter games, but has now been banned from CS2 and ESL competitions.

Razer is no strangers to deals within esports, having launched specific peripherals for different esports titles such as Fortnite and partnering with various esports organisations such as MAD Lions KOI, Sentinels and more. However, according to the release this partnership has a specific purpose for Razer as it will see TALON provide feedback to the peripherals brand on its newest products to improve further the equipment.

This summer has been a busy one for TALON in terms of partnerships as the esports organisation secured deals with technology corporation VISA, streetwear brand Certified Saudi Arabia, blockchain company Perion Labs and hardware brand ThundeRobot. These partnerships come at a crucial time as TALON Esports looks to qualify for the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024 in CS2 and defend the Pacific Championship Series (PCS) title in League of Legends.

Sean Zhang, the CEO of TALON, spoke on the partnership: “Razer is renowned for its innovation and dedication to ensuring esports players are equipped with the best gear possible for the best performance on the highest stage is defined by such small margins and reaction times, we are confident that our players will be able to maintain top form with Razer’s cutting-edge gear.”
