My first reaction (after ahhh, so cute!) was that this was likely greenwashing.

it is.

@boingboing

Razer has committed to numerous goals, like using 100% renewable energy in all its offices by 2025 – a goal already met by its offices in Germany and Singapore.

wow. in offices. what about production?

@boingboing

Two of its popular gaming mice earned an Ecologo certification by being manufactured using recycled plastics

wow, “recycled” plastics, they say?

‘They lied’: plastics producers deceived public about recycling, report reveals

@boingboing

The original goal of saving 100,000 trees

ah, “saving”. could it be thats used as co2 compensation for production?

@boingboing

The total is now over 1.4 million trees saved, with a new goal set at ten million

great. only 3 trillion to go. and the customer pays with razers merch.

@boingboing

They have Sneki Snek pillows, keycaps, and hoodies

fuck. that.

All joking aside I agree, this is just the next step in green washing lip service. I really wanted a Kitsune until I saw that the micro switches aren’t replaceable. It’s $300 dollars worth of “disposable” keyboard then. They should make their products sustainable first, it’s where they have the most impact.
