The Razer Edge makes a surprise appearance in Europe, available to order now
It doesn’t seem like Razer goes very long without launching a new product but this one took me a little by surprise. The Razer Edge gaming handheld is now available to order in Europe, albeit only in Wi-Fi form.
I say I’m surprised because the last time I asked Razer about the Edge coming here I was told there were no current plans. I guess those plans changed! But needless to say, nobody was really expecting it.
If you looked on in envy at Americans having all the fun, though, you can now go and order yourself a Razer Edge which includes the ‘tablet’ part and the most excellent Razer Kishi V2 Pro controller. If you’re in the UK you’ll need to part with £450, elsewhere in Europe that becomes €500.

The Razer Edge is the second Android-based gaming handheld to make it to these shores recently, following the Logitech G Cloud. It’s an impressive device even purely considering the hardware, even if I wish that Razer had just kept making phones instead of going down this route.
