Razer launches major closed beta program to encourage community feedback on the design of a highly-customisable arcade stick for the Xbox 360<\/em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sydney, Australia \u2013 September 15th<\/sup>, 2011 \u2013 <\/strong>Razer\u2122, the world leader in high performance gaming hardware, just announced a program to co-develop the ultimate arcade stick for the Xbox 360\u00ae together with the arcade stick community.\u00a0 The arcade stick, developed with pro-gamer feedback, is currently at the prototype stage.\u00a0 For the finishing touches, up to 200+ specially selected top-seed Street Fighter\u2122 IV<\/em> pro-gamers, influential modders, and members of the arcade enthusiast community will each be given a Razer arcade stick to test and provide feedback to further improve it to perfection, whereupon the final design will then proceed to production.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Since the company\u2019s beginnings in \u201998, Razer has continually taken pro-gamer feedback and validation during the product development phase to ensure that the design for every gaming product shipped is the absolute best for the competitive edge in tournament-grade play.\u00a0 But in an unprecedented move in the gaming hardware space, Razer is now reaching out to the entire arcade stick community to help make this yet-to-be-named product the best arcade stick in the world.\u00a0 Their feedback will be a huge influencing factor in the design of the final product.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cRazer is for gamers, by gamers.\u00a0 We\u2019ve been taking feedback from our professional players on products for years and now we want to open it up to the community. That\u2019s why we want every arcade enthusiast and modder\u2019s input in the development of this special arcade stick,\u201d said Robert \u201cRazerGuy\u201d Krakoff, President, Razer USA.\u00a0 \u201cIn this way, it\u2019s not just our arcade stick; it\u2019s the community\u2019s arcade stick. Together, we will create a weapon that delivers the best fighting performance for every gamer and allows modding to the individual\u2019s exact specifications. We\u2019re not just asking people for input on the paint job, we\u2019re after serious hardware feedback.\u201d<\/p>\n

Members of the arcade community worldwide interested in participating in this beta program are encouraged to contribute ideas at www.razerzone.com\/bredtofight<\/a>, along with a short description as to why they should be selected for prototype testing.\u00a0 Registrants can also nominate other people to the program.\u00a0 Up to 200+ successful applicants worldwide will receive an arcade stick prototype delivered directly to their homes.<\/p>\n

Razer will be launching this non-retail arcade stick closed beta community program at Tokyo Game Show, the heart of the professional console fighting scene.\u00a0 Select pro-gamers and key modders will also be approached very soon to begin beta testing the prototype.<\/p>\n
