Global gaming lifestyle brand Razer has partnered with JOOLA on a new collaboration that blends the energy of esports with pickleball.

The two brands this week unveiled a limited-edition paddle that combines Razer’s iconic design with JOOLA’s Pro IV paddle technology, marking the first-ever crossover between gaming and pickleball.

The Razer x JOOLA - Perseus Pro IV 16mm will officially be available on Dec. 9 for $299.95. Co-branded with Razer’s triple-headed snake trademark and signature green accents, the paddle blends JOOLA’s performance-first DNA with Razer’s unmistakable gaming aesthetic.

The paddle has been turning heads this week at the Pickleball World Championships in Dallas, as JOOLA pros Ben Johns and Federico Staksrud have both been using it.

Only 1,337 units of the 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.

“I’ve always loved the competition and strategy that comes with both gaming and pickleball,” said Ben Johns. “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 Lee. “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.”
