Paper Rex expanded beyond apparel into gaming peripherals with a collaboration with Pulsar, the South Korean gaming gear brand. The PRX x Pulsar collection launched on April 21, 2025, at 3PM SGT, offering co-branded mice, mousepads, and keyboards designed specifically for competitive FPS gaming.
Pulsar, founded in 2020, has rapidly become one of esports’ most respected peripheral brands, with partnerships extending to both Paper Rex and T1. Their gear is used by professional players across VCT and other competitive circuits.
The Collection
The PRX Edition lineup includes:
- Co-branded gaming mouse — optimized for high sensitivity competitive FPS play
- PRX Something Mousepad (XL) — featuring extra-durable micro stitching, anti-fray edges, and a surface optimized for speed and stopping power
- Keyboard peripherals — completing the full desk setup
- Custom keycaps — PRX-themed replacements for standard keycap sets
The collection was available through both the Paper Rex Shop and Pulsar’s official store.
Why Peripherals Matter for Esports Brands
Gaming peripherals represent a natural extension for esports organizations. Unlike apparel, which fans wear to show allegiance, peripherals are functional products that fans actually use while gaming. A PRX mousepad or mouse becomes part of the fan’s daily gaming experience, creating a deeper connection to the team than passive merchandise like jerseys.
For Paper Rex, the Pulsar partnership also provides revenue diversification beyond the seasonal jersey cycle, creating products with longer shelf lives and repeat purchase potential (mouse switches wear out, mousepads need replacing).
Pulsar’s Esports Ecosystem
Pulsar has built an impressive esports partnership portfolio:
- Paper Rex — official mouse and keyboard partner
- T1 — competitive peripherals partnership
- VCT Americas — official Mouse, Keyboard, and Mousepad partner for 2026
This positions Pulsar as the dominant peripheral brand in competitive VALORANT, with their products used at the highest levels of professional play.
