Razer™, the world leader in high-performance gaming hardware, software and systems, announced the re-release of its peripheral lineup for Blizzard Entertainment’s StarCraft® II: Heart of the Swarm™ expansion, the highly anticipated next instalment of the acclaimed StarCraft franchise.

The line includes the Razer Spectre™ StarCraft® II Gaming Mouse, the Razer Marauder™ StarCraft® II Gaming Keyboard and the Razer Banshee™ StarCraft® II Gaming Headset.

“The initial response we received on the announcement of the original StarCraft II peripherals was simply amazing and, as a way of giving back to our diehard fans and the StarCraft community, we want to make these products available once more,” said Min-Liang Tan – co-founder, CEO and creative director of Razer. “These peripherals speak to the quality of Razer products as a whole and give StarCraft players the edge they crave on the battlefield.”

The Razer Spectre, Razer Marauder and Razer Banshee all feature custom-backlighting to match any gaming rig and are able to electrify StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm gameplay through an APM (Actions-Per-Minute) Lighting System.
