WARNING! Razer Pricing is Going up!

such a shame to see a good company do this because of greed. i will more than likely keep using razer but wont be buying any more products for a while.
I bought some Microsoft wired laser mouse for about £15 ~5 years ago. Solid as a rock and still works as good as the day I bought it.
I've never understood spanking £50 on these gaming mice - onboard memory? weights? 101 buttons? programmable?
They all look ghastly and are massive as well.

Had 2 Razer mice in the past both of which died, these price increases are unjustified, a lot of their products simply do not command the prices that are being asked now let alone after this increase.
I hope this backfires on them and in a big way.

Just as well you have a nice selection of other brands to choose from instead
Exactly this.
I can see in less than 6 months time Razer dropping their prices again due to not making any profit.
I considered the razer mouse expensive as they are. specially The deathadder considering it has no dedicated DPI buttons which is needed on games like BF3 when going from inf to using vehicles.
But there keyboards are just crap. My Razer Lycosa has nothing but issues. The touch control keeps braking and some keys just stop working to the point i gotta reconnect the keyboard and this is all there latist rev version. And the Razer BlackWidow is just as bad. A mechanical should last a long time without issues yet the blackwidow has issues with keys geting stuck on certain keys pressing other keys down.
Upto 30% price increase is just crap.
For that you would want 3year warranty and top build quality. Even there mouse mats are over priced and dont work that great with my deathadder so ended up buying a steelseries QcK pad
I think they being to big headed if they beleave there stuff is worth more then other top brands out there because they aint.

I don't think the DeathAdder price went up yet? Or am I wrong
the new pricing is put in place when old stock sells through.
as soon as we run out of stock at the old price, then it comes through at the new price.
this is why Ace Modder gave you all the warning.
the Naga is a hugely popular mouse, so little surprise that it sold through already

Next time I need a mouse I will look away from my deathadder. Surely though on a mouse like the naga, there isnt anything else like it though?
You know why they call it a naga? because that's what you're wife/gf does when you spend all that money on a mouse!
To be honest i've never used a naga nor seen one in person, i still buy mice branded for "gaming" but i could never see myself spending more than £40 on one, generally i go for the cheap logitechs like the MX518 or G500 (currently on a G500) as i can't see any benefit in spending more than that. Boggles my mind how anyone does!
EDIT: holy crap even the G500 is £8 more than i bought it for 5-6months ago.
people still like Razer.
they do have some very good products, and the demand for them stretches above and beyond the general consensus displayed in this thread
myself and AceModder are in control of all the Razer products that OcUK stock and believe me when I say that we have explored every single avenue in keeping the prices down.
the fact is, that if it costs us more to buy, sadly there is nothing we can do to prevent this.
I personally use a Mamba and a Black Widow which I really like, and the quality is certainly there. I am not in agreement with the quality of the products being poor because they simply aren't.
whether of not the products are worth more than currently charged or production costs have increased is mere speculation, but time will tell if this is a good move for them
in the grand scheme of things, customers will speak with their wallets.
but when you see people on the razer facebook pages with razer tattoos, it certainly speaks a volume about the brand power.
note to all - I do not have any razer tattoos.
