Razer New Quartz Pink Edition for Valentine Day
Razer today unveiled the latest high-performance gaming gear and accessories to be given the popular Quartz Pink treatment. Razer's Quartz Pink colorway was first launched in 2018 to the delight of gamers, streamers and influencers worldwide. With a humble lineup of 4 peripherals to choose from, it was the beginning of a 'pink phenomenon'.
Fans on the quest for Quartz began to refresh their setups with bold color themes - balancing power in pink. We've paid attention. With more than double the gear available this year, one can enjoy a new series that lets you stand out even further from the crowd…in style. "Our fans told us they could not get enough of our Quartz Pink editions," said Razer Co-Founder and CEO Min-Liang Tan. "We listened and we have given the stunning pink treatment to our latest gaming gear, giving you the unfair advantage in both performance and looks."
This includes:
- Razer Basilisk mouse
- Razer Goliathus Extended Chroma mouse mat
- Razer Huntsman keyboard
- Razer Kraken headset
- Razer Raiju Tournament Edition controller for PS4
- Razer Seiren X microphone
- Razer Base Station Chroma headset stand
- Quartz case for Razer Phone 2

I haven't found their quality to be any worse than the other major brands. They have models that are price accessible for all but the extreme budget minded. Just don't understand the extreme hate I guess. Maybe because they're popular and people don't like their cloud software? I've had worse luck with more expensive mice from other companies. Using a G900 as my work mouse and it's been decent but no better quality than my Razer mice I use for gaming. I'd say the G900 actually feels cheaper, is less ergonomic, and rattles like a baby toy when I move it. Plus the scroll wheel has gotten so loose on it it's been a hindrance to use. I've owned Zowie, Steelseries, Logitech, Razer, Corsair, and Roccat for reference, and haven't found any of them to be better quality when it comes to lasting power. I'm sure folks can add anecdotal evidence of a Razer mouse failing. Not saying it doesn't happen as all companies can produce a dud when manufacturing tolerances slip occasionally, but the amount of hate they get just seems extraordinary and contrary to my own experiences.

If I want a pink board I'll buy a Ducky MIYA Pro Sakura and not that Razer one.
Anecdotal evidence regarding quality aside, I still avoid Razer and Corsair boards due to their wonkey, non-standard bottom row. Give me a 6.25u spacebar and standard 1.25u keys across the rest of it with an option to lock out the win key like every other normal mech board.
