- The V2 Pro targets Azeron's market position with deep customization capabilities built into its design.
- The keypad addresses a specific player preference: those who value alternatives to traditional full-sized keyboards.
Gaming keypads remain a niche but passionate segment; Razer's return could legitimize and expand the category beyond its current audience.
