Two champions of competitive performance join forces to debut a high-performance paddle blending esports precision with pickleball power. 

IRVINE, CALIF. NOVEMBER 4, 2025 – Global gaming lifestyle brand Razer has partnered with JOOLA, a global leader in pickleball, to unveil a groundbreaking collaboration that bridges the energy of esports with the fast-growing sport of pickleball.

Together, the two brands unveiled a limited-edition paddle that fuses Razer’s iconic design language with JOOLA’s elite paddle technology, marking the first-ever crossover between gaming and pickleball.

The Razer x JOOLA - Perseus Pro IV 16mm will officially be available on December 9, 2025. Co-branded with Razer’s triple-headed snake trademark and signature green accents, the paddle seamlessly blends JOOLA’s performance-first DNA with Razer’s unmistakable gaming aesthetic.  

The paddle made its competitive debut at the 2025 Pickleball World Championships in Dallas, used by world #1 Ben Johns and world #2 Federico Staksrud, two of the sport’s biggest stars, known not only for their on-court battles but also for their shared passion for gaming together in their downtime.

GAME ON

Crafted for high-stakes rallies and fast-paced exchanges, the JOOLA Razer Perseus Pro IV 16mm is built to perform under pressure. Its raw carbon surface enhances spin control and dwell time (the moment the ball stays on the paddle before release), allowing players to shape their shots with precision and finesse. 

A balanced swing weight supports quick transitions and reactive play, making it ideal for competitive athletes who thrive on agility and speed. Bringing smart tech to the court, each paddle is also embedded with an NFC chip that connects to the JOOLA Infinity App, unlocking exclusive content, pro tips, and extended warranty.

Only 1,337 units of this limited-edition paddle will be made. The number “1337” is a nod to gaming culture – where “1337” or “LEET” (short for “elite”) is used to signify top-tier skill and mastery. It’s a tribute to the most dedicated players, whether they’re chasing victory in-game or on the pickleball court.

This crossover unites two elite forces in competitive performance: JOOLA, trusted by top pickleball pros, and Razer, revered by the global gaming community. Together, they’ve created a paddle that embodies precision, innovation, and the drive to win across both digital and physical arenas.

“This collaboration celebrates the competitive spirit,” said Addie Tan, Global Head of Lifestyle Division at Razer. “By fusing Razer’s elite gaming DNA with JOOLA’s championship pedigree, we’ve created a paddle built for peak performance. Whether you're grinding ranked matches online or pushing your limits on the court, the JOOLA Razer Perseus Pro IV 16mm is made for those who play to win.”

“I’ve always loved the competition and strategy that comes with both gaming and pickleball,” said Ben Johns, World No. 1 Pickleball Player. “This partnership between JOOLA and Razer brings those worlds together in a really unique way. The paddle has that perfect blend of precision engineering and bold design; it’s as fun to play with as it is to look at.”

As part of the launch celebration, fans will have the chance to win a paddle signed by both JOOLA CEO Richard Lee and Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan through an exclusive social media giveaway hosted by JOOLA and Razer.

“This collaboration is about more than a paddle; it’s about uniting two cultures built on passion and performance,” said Richard Lee, CEO and Owner of JOOLA. “Razer dominates the digital arena, and JOOLA leads the court. Together, we’ve created something that embodies the mindset of modern competitors who live to push boundaries, wherever they play.”
