Among them, the sales of wireless mouse products increased by 210% year-on-year, and the sales of DeathAdder series mice exceeded 260,000; the sales of Razer Viper Ultimate gaming mouse exceeded 60,000, and it ranked first in the sales charts of Tmall and JD.com.

We expect its hardware revenue to reach US$994 million in 2020, a year-on-year increase of 39.25%. But next year (2021) due to the high base effect, we expect hardware revenue next year (2021) to reach 1.017 billion US dollars, an increase of 2.31% year-on-year.

In terms of software and services, the Company's management expressed confidence in developing the software platform by expanding user base and user activity, and continuing to invest to expand the company's fast-growing high-profit service business. The Company continues to expand in regional countries such as Malaysia and the Philippines.
