If you enjoy gaming while travelling, Razer has something new for you. The brand is well-known for its BlackWidow and Huntsman keyboards, both popular among serious gamers. However, these models can be bulky and difficult to carry around. Now, Razer has introduced a slimmer and more travel-friendly option: the Razer Joro keyboard, which was explicitly designed with portability in mind. They’ve also launched the Basilisk Mobile, a lighter and shorter version of their well-loved Basilisk gaming mouse.
Razer Joro: slim, light, and made for movement
The Joro is Razer’s thinnest keyboard yet. It measures 16.5mm in height and weighs only 374g, making it one of the company’s lightest wireless mechanical gaming keyboards. Even though it’s ultra-portable, it still packs in a 75% layout. That means you still get the function row and arrow keys, making it practical for gaming or typing on the go.
To achieve this slim design, Razer used Ultra-Low-Profile mechanical switches, which are scissor switches. While they don’t offer the deep mechanical feel of full-sized switches, they help keep the keyboard thin and quiet. The Joro also includes single-zone Razer Chroma lighting so you won’t get per-key RGB customisation, but you will still enjoy that signature Razer glow.
Another handy feature is Snap Tap, part of the latest Synapse 4 software. It allows the keyboard to detect the most recent key press when two keys are pressed simultaneously, which is useful for fast gaming actions. N-key rollover is also included so that multiple keys can be pressed simultaneously without errors.
The Joro supports Bluetooth 5.0 and can connect to up to three devices. It works with laptops, portable gaming devices like the Steam Deck and ASUS ROG Ally, and Apple products like iPads and MacBooks. There’s even a dedicated Mac layout and a Microsoft Copilot key for Windows users. A USB-C port is available for charging or using the keyboard in wired mode.
Battery life depends on how you use it. With all features on, you’ll get around 11 hours of use. But in Power Saving Mode, with lighting and high polling turned off, the battery can last up to 1,800 hours—ideal for travel or extended periods away from a charger.
Basilisk Mobile: same feel, smaller form
The Basilisk Mobile mouse is based on the original Basilisk design but has been redesigned to suit mobile gamers. While it keeps the signature thumb rest and ergonomic shape, it’s shorter—111.5 mm in length, compared to the usual 130mm for standard Basilisk models. It also weighs just 76g, making it far easier to pack in your bag.
The inside of the mouse still includes Gen-3 Optical Mouse Switches and the Razer Focus X 18K Optical Sensor, so you’re not missing out on performance. You also get 10 programmable buttons, a scroll wheel with Free-Spin and Tactile Cycling modes, and support for Razer HyperSpeed Wireless. Battery life reaches up to 105 hours via HyperSpeed, with Bluetooth and USB-C options also available.
One new feature is the AI Prompt Master button, which gives you quick access to AI tools for tasks like in-game searches. This feature was first introduced in Razer’s Pro Click V2 mouse and is now available on more gaming devices.
Price and availability
You can get the Razer Joro keyboard for S$205 (around US$152) and the Basilisk Mobile mouse for S$139 (around US$103) from Razer’s official website. Both are also available at Razer Stores globally.
These new products show Razer’s aim to support gamers who want quality and performance, even when they’re not at their desks. Whether you’re commuting, travelling, or prefer smaller gear, the Joro and Basilisk Mobile could be the right fit.
