'To own a Razer Artisan Keycap is to display one’s allegiance, a mark of belonging within the Cult of Razer' says the PR nonsense behind this $90 coil of snakes

Overview & Key Takeaways

It's Medusa-friendly, though.

"To own a Razer Artisan Keycap is to display one’s allegiance, a mark of belonging within the cult of Razer," says the marketing gumph for the company's first artisan keycap. I've read a lot of ambitious press releases in this job, but that's definitely the strangest sentence I've parsed this year.

That being said, I do like the look of the Razer Artisan Keycap - Triple-Headed Snake Edition. Because as the name suggests, it's made up of a twisting coil of snakes. Indiana Jones wouldn't approve, but as for Andy-ana Edser? Aye, it's alright by me.

Razer's slippery new keycap is resin-cast, has been individually hand-painted (I'd genuinely enjoy that job), and subjected to a two-stage quality control process that makes sure no dust or bubbles are left on the final product.

It's been designed to fit on MX-style, cross-stem switches, so it should be compatible with most keyboards. Even if you haven't bought into the cult of Razer and gone for a competitor's product instead. Which is probably some form of heresy in Razer's eyes, I would imagine.

The keycap is also "the next step towards the ultimate expression of keyboard customisation," and "a statement of identity," apparently. My goodness. There was me thinking it was a little trinket you could shove on one of your lesser-used switches and admire on occasion between games.

If you want one for yourself, Razer has a signup form for the initial batch on the product page, complete with a neon-green countdown timer that wouldn't look out of place in NASA mission control. In much smaller font underneath is the price: $90, which makes it one of the most expensive keycaps I think I've ever covered on this site.

"One of a kind. One of the cult," says Razer. Sure thing. Can I just enjoy my pricey keycap in peace, instead?

Major Steam Leak Reveals Achievements For Persona 6, Kingdom Hearts 4, And Unannounced Games🖥 PC, Multi-platform

Major Steam Leak Reveals Achievements For Persona 6, Kingdom Hearts 4, And Unannounced Games

A massive Steam leak has revealed hundreds of achievements for upcoming games, including highly anticipated titles like Kingdom Hearts 4, Persona 6, and Fable. On the website Exophase--which tracks achievements for games on Steam, Epic Games Store, and more--the achievement lists for numerous in-development games were uploaded to it and made public. It looks like the site trackers scraped up all the achievements uploaded to Steam recently, resulting in potential story spoilers and the reveal of several unannounced--or canceled--titles. "Seems like a possible screw-up on Valve's end, a bunch of games with achievements that should be private are accessible through the API right now, and that's why they got scanned into the site," Exosphere owner Mike Bendel AKA x3sphere wrote in a ResetEra post(https://www.resetera.com/threads/persona-6-and-other-unrevealed-achievement-lists-are-leaking-via-steam-walking-dead-tomb-raider-shrek-kh4-more.1627462/page-4post-160223521). "I usually never see games without an actual name pop up with achievements, yet over the past hour or so, a bunch have (when there's an unknown name, we just set it to the AppID)." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3NrZKxdh6Q It's worth noting that many of these achievement lists appear to be incomplete due to the use of placeholder text, but many of them are rife with spoilers. While we won't mention them here, the leak has revealed more of the Disney-themed worlds(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-weirdest-worlds-that-could-technically-be-in-kingdom-hearts-4/) that players can travel to in Kingdom Hearts 4(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/kingdom-hearts-4-delay-you-say-no-way-series-co-creator-states/), and story details for Persona 6(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/persona-6-is-finally-official-after-years-of-waiting/) have surfaced. People are, of course, digging deep into the list, so if you're looking to go into any particular game without fear of spoilers, it might be time to start muting certain keywords before it's released. This isn't the first time Steam has been responsible for leaking data. Last month, a security breach saw 13TB of information on unreleased games and prototypes uploaded to online spaces and made available for download. This leak covered games uploaded to Steam between 2003 and 2013, including pre-release builds of major games from the era, such as Spore, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, and an early Portal 2 prototype.
