Razer Launches New Evangelion Unit-02 Gaming Collection
Razer has officially unveiled a new lineup of gaming peripherals in collaboration with the landmark anime franchise Neon Genesis Evangelion.
The “Razer | EVANGELION Unit-02 Collection” focuses on the machine piloted by the “Second Child,” Asuka Langley Soryu.
Neon Genesis Evangelion remains a cornerstone of the mecha genre, celebrated for its deconstruction of tropes and psychological depth as humanity battles the monstrous entities known as Angels.
Asuka, a prodigy pilot from Germany, is defined by her fiery, competitive personality and her elite piloting skills.
Her machine, Evangelion Unit-02, is significant within the series lore as the world’s first “Production Model” Evangelion.
Unlike the Prototype Unit-00 or the Test Type Unit-01, Asuka’s unit was built specifically for combat deployment, often utilizing a vast arsenal of progressive knives and pallet rifles.
The new Razer collection adopts the mecha’s signature crimson color scheme, which has become synonymous with Asuka’s aggressive fighting style and high synchronization rates.
The design philosophy mirrors the detailed mechanical aesthetic of the Unit-02, incorporating visual elements that suggest armor plating and industrial warning markings found in NERV headquarters.
By selecting high-performance hardware for this collaboration, Razer aims to channel the “Ace Pilot” energy that Asuka brings to the battlefield.
The collection spans five specific product categories, ranging from ergonomic furniture to high-performance input devices.
