Razer has announced the Razer NiKo Collection, a new esports-focused hardware lineup developed in collaboration with Counter-Strike professional Nikola “NiKo” Kovač. The launch marks a year since NiKo joined Team Razer and represents a dedicated product series shaped around his competitive preferences and long-standing career in professional Counter-Strike.
The announcement comes shortly after NiKo’s appearance at the BLAST Bounty 2026 Season 1 LAN Finals in Malta, where he secured his 10th HLTV MVP medal. Posting a 1.20 overall rating during the event, including a 2.18 rating performance on Mirage, NiKo added another milestone to a career that already includes multiple HLTV Top 20 placements and several Top 5 finishes. He later presented the new gear publicly during PGL Cluj-Napoca, giving fans a first look at the collection on stage.
Over the years, NiKo has built a reputation as one of the most consistent riflers in Counter-Strike competition. His record includes ten HLTV Top 20 rankings, seven appearances in the Top 5, and a 52-kill performance in a single Major map. His 1.70 rating at ESL One: New York 2017 remains one of the highest recorded at a premier Counter-Strike event. Razer states that the NiKo Collection reflects both his playstyle and his focus on reliability under pressure.
The lineup is based on Razer’s established esports hardware platforms, customized with a flame-inspired visual theme tied to NiKo’s in-game identity. Each product in the collection is part of Razer’s performance-oriented ecosystem used by professional players across multiple titles.
The Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro NiKo Edition leads the collection. The mouse features an ultra-light ergonomic shell designed for long competitive sessions. It supports HyperSpeed Wireless Gen-2 connectivity and polling rates up to 8,000 Hz. Razer has also integrated optical switches and an optical scroll wheel aimed at improving durability and minimizing input inconsistencies during rapid movements.
Complementing the mouse is the Razer Gigantus V2 Pro NiKo Edition Mousepad. Built with a custom-woven cloth surface, the mat focuses on balanced glide and tracking precision. Razer’s proprietary GlideCore foam base adds cushioning while maintaining stopping control, an important factor for players who rely on quick flick shots and micro-adjustments in tactical shooters.
For keyboard users, the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro TKL 8KHz NiKo Edition incorporates Razer’s analog optical switch technology. The keyboard supports Rapid Trigger Mode and adjustable actuation, allowing players to fine-tune key sensitivity based on personal preference. Combined with 8,000 Hz HyperPolling, the Huntsman V3 Pro TKL is designed to reduce input latency in high-level competitive scenarios where reaction time plays a critical role.
The collection is rounded out by the Razer BlackShark V3 Pro NiKo Edition. The headset uses HyperSpeed Wireless Gen-2 for low-latency audio transmission and includes a HyperClear Full Band 12 mm microphone for team communication. Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation is also part of the package, helping reduce ambient distractions during practice and tournament play. Razer highlights long-session comfort as a core focus of the BlackShark V3 Pro design.
According to NiKo, the collaboration was built around his own experience competing at the highest level. He noted that having a personal product line required careful development and attention to detail, ensuring that each item aligns with his standards as a professional player. Razer describes the collection as the result of extended testing and feedback sessions aimed at refining performance characteristics rather than simply applying cosmetic changes.
The NiKo Collection further strengthens Razer’s presence in esports partnerships, an area where the company continues to work closely with professional athletes across multiple competitive scenes. By combining player-driven feedback with its existing hardware platforms, Razer positions the lineup as an option for competitive Counter-Strike players seeking gear aligned with professional standards.
With Counter-Strike maintaining a strong presence in global esports, hardware collaborations tied to established players remain a key part of brand strategy. The Razer NiKo Collection reflects that trend, offering a themed version of proven esports hardware shaped by one of the game’s most recognized competitors.
