That "Speed of (the) Light" mouse Razer hyped? It's just the Salmosa, their new lower-end 1800 DPI, 1KHz polling gamer mouse with sensitivity adjustment and a slightly more reasonable $40 price tag. It'll be out in Q3, but something tells us by then you'll have found some other completely obvious way of spending two Jacksons.

With CeBIT opening its doors in Germany in just a matter of days, it seems that Razer is already getting us antsy by rolling out a new teaser for an upcoming mouse. Granted, it's not like the firm hasn't pulled something similar before, but considering that it specifically notes March 4th as the date to check back for more details, it's not exactly being secretive about where the launch will take place. T-minus six days until the Speed of (The) Light is revealed -- we're tense with anticipation.

Remember that 2.1-channel speaker system you saw from Razer, what, two years ago? No, wait -- that was this year. All kidding aside, the Mako is finally getting ready to ship to US customers (and parts of Europe in the future), but Engadget HD managed to round up a set before it even has a chance to grace store shelves. Ready to see if this three piece is fit for you? Grab your specs and hit the read link below.

By tipster popular demand, we present the Razer Destructor gaming-grade surface (named after the Gigantiops Destructor genus of ants, for the myrmecologists among you). Granted that we can't conscionably recommend shelling out $39.99 for a mousepad unless it actually performs headshots for you, but if you've got a showdown with Fatal1ty in your future it could be up your alley. Optical gaming mice reportedly track 25% better on this thing, with gaming-grade laser mice getting a 37% tracking improvement through proximity to this surface. Co-developed with pro-gaming teams, the Destructor will be available for mission-critical fragging sometime this month.

Remember Razer's Boomslang? Yeah, it's back to cash-in with the Collector's Edition 2007; just 10,000 units are being produced. Go ahead, drop $100 on a mouse from last century. We dare you.

It's been a hot minute since we've heard any racket from Everglide, but the company seems to have tapped into what Razer's got going on for its latest gaming peripheral. The DKTboard is a sleek, all-black keyboard that features an ultrathin design, aluminum top case, eight multimedia hot keys and optional backlight illumination to keep your fingers on the right track even when the roommate turns in for the evening. The 'board is being offered up with an accompanying DKTmat for $69.99, but you'll have to wait for it to return to stock before calling dibs on your own.

Razer has certainly been on a tear of late, and the firm is keepin' the new gear flowing with the Pro|Click Mobile. Shipping worldwide today (to retailers, we presume), this diminutive critter touts an ambidextrous design, Bluetooth 2.0, an optical sensor, and four interesting titled colors including "naughty, nice, sugar, and spice (black, white, pink and red respectively)." Unfortunately, interested customers won't be able to get their hands around one until "mid-October" for $49.99

As if cramming its third-generation optical sensor in the Diamondback wasn't good enough, Razer is out to up the ante once more its newly-unveiled Lachesis. Compared to Microsoft's shiny new SideWinder, this creature touts double the DPI (that's 4,000 here, for those keeping score), and according to Razer, the 3G laser sensor "stops tracking at much lower lift-off levels than any other laser sensor, preventing tracking errors when the device is lifted off its tracking surface." Of course, you'll still be able to switch DPI on-the-fly sans special drivers, and the Ultraslick, Teflon-coated feet ought to glide around effortlessly for a good while. Razer's latest USB gaming mouse will go on sale globally this October for $79.99, and will be available in Phantom White and Banshee Blue colors.

Early adopters who hitched their wagon to Razer early on are likely to remember the elusive "First Edition" Boomslang mice, and if you've been clamoring for a practically identical replacement, Razer's got you covered. The Boomslang Collector's Edition 2007 will make its debut at this summer's DreamHack, will be limited to 10,000 units worldwide, and will be encased in a sleek titanium housing. Moreover, the mouse will glow green from underneath to add that final dash of 1337-ness at a dark LAN party, but there's no word yet on DPI nor price.

We've been given vague promises about this not-too-very-exciting keyboard / mouse / iPod dock combo for more than a year now, with the first product shots showing a 4G iPod nested in the dock. But Razer has finally come forward with a release date and price, so if you've been unable to operate your computer for the past year or so due to your lack of input devices, have no fear. The Razer Pro|Type Keyboard will be out on April 6th for $130, features media buttons, 10 programmable keys with backlights, two USB ports and a line-out jack, and 10 customizable "profiles" for setup switching. Yeah, sorry, a whole year later that's just not doing much for us, but if you're a Razer fan, don't let us stand in your way.

Microsoft sure raised expectations pretty high with the months of build-up for its Razer-co-designed Habu gaming mouse, but now that its been freed of the hype-machine we're finally starting to get an idea of how it stacks up to the competition. While Extreme Tech didn't exactly get off on the right foot with the mouse, with their first one turning up D.O.A., they eventually got one that worked and put it through the usual paces, mostly liking what they found, giving the mouse a hefty 9 out of 10. They especially dug the mouse's comfortable design, responsive buttons, and massive 2,000 DPI resolution, although they found that to be a bit too much for them, instead preferring the mouse's 1,600 DPI setting for gaming and going all the way back to 800 DPI for non-gaming tasks. The biggest downside, not surprisingly, is the price, coming in at a not insignificant $70. More than the average mouse to be sure, but not all that out of line compared to some of the other top-end gaming mice on the market, although we have to admit that "Habu" doesn't exactly elicit the same sort of menace as the DeathAdder.
