While many of us will opt to buy our PC gaming hardware and peripherals online these days, there is no better way of getting a feel for new equipment than by checking it out in a physical high street store. Razer realise this with a chain of stores across the globe and is now opening its first European store in London.

Dedicated display areas for headsets, mice, keyboards will be set out for users to get a feel for new equipment, to makes sure it is right for them before purchasing. Other areas in the store will be designated for Razer Blade systems, console peripherals, mobile and streaming hardware, and complemented by Razer’s line of accessories and apparel.

An extensive playtest area will allow customers to connect Razer devices to Blade and console systems for a try before you buy experience. All the lighting zones within the gaming areas will emulate the Razer Chroma lighting system, fluctuating to players actions while a wall of displays will inform customers of product descriptions and information.

The lower floor will include hands-on dedicated zones including streaming booths, three multiplayer console zones and a LAN gaming area with ten systems set up. Weekly tournaments, workshops and boot camps will be held in this area with streamers invited to polish their skills in the streaming booth using Razer’s latest broadcast equipment.
