On the back of World Environment Day, Razer has announced a nice touch that makes two of our favourite gaming mice even better. The Razer Basilisk V3 and DeathAdder Essential have been officially rated and achieved an ECOLOGO certification from UL.
UL's ECOLOGO certification(opens in new tab) is an optional 3rd party test that addresses the life-cycle-based sustainability of products. There are different requirements for all sorts of products, but essentially having this certification means that high standards in environmental sustainability have been met in the creation of these products.
Razer's Basilisk V3 and DeathAdder Essential are the first gaming mice to have passed the Outline of Investigation for Sustainability for Portable Electronics. This included evaluating other aspects like the packaging, repair, and even waste disposal of the production involved with making these mice.
Now they bear the ECOLOGO certified mark, meaning customers have assurance that these were made with environmental sustainability concerns in mind. The logo is recognised and displayed on Amazon's online store, so hopefully we'll see it popping up on a lot more products soon.
