JOOLA, Razer Launch Limited-Edition Paddle in First-of-Its-Kind Pickleball x Gaming Crossover

Are you a pickleball player who’s also into gaming? Or are you a gamer in love with pickleball?

Either way, you’re sure to love what JOOLA, the global leader in pickleball equipment, and Razer, the leading gaming brand of the world, have cooked up. The two industry leaders have announced that they have collaborated on a first-of-its-kind limited edition paddle—the Razer x JOOLA – Perseus Pro IV 16mm—that blends Razer’s iconic design features with JOOLA’s unmatched paddle technology to bridge the popular world of esports with the growing pickleball landscape.

This collaboration is about more than a paddle; it’s about uniting two cultures built on passion and performance. 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.

World no. 1 Ben Johns and world no. 2 Federico Staksrud debuted the Razer x JOOLA – Perseus Pro IV 16mm in competitive play at the 2025 Pickleball World Championships in Dallas. Johns and Staksrud, of course, are two of pickleball’s biggest stars, and they’re also known to be certified gamers, making them the ideal pair to debut this unique paddle.

I’ve always loved the competition and strategy that comes with both gaming and pickleball. 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.

– Addie Tan, Global Head of Lifestyle Division at Razer

JOOLA and Razer have also announced that they will release only 1,337 units of the Razer x JOOLA – Perseus Pro IV 16mm paddle. That number is also by design, as “1337” in gaming culture means “LEET”—short for “elite”—and is used to describe exceptional top-level skill and mastery.

As an added treat, JOOLA and Razer will be hosting an exclusive social media giveaway where fans will have the chance to win a paddle signed by both JOOLA CEO Richard Lee and Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan.

Availability and Pricing

The Razer x JOOLA – Perseus Pro IV 16mm paddle will be available for purchase exclusively on JOOLA.com starting 9 December 2025. It will be priced at USD $299.95.
