Razer, the gaming hardware brand known for its glowing green snake logo and neon-lit peripherals, earns a NOligarchy Score of 89.31 out of 100 from Q2 2024-Q3 through 2026-Q2 (8 quarters — the two-year tracking period). That places Razer third in its sector, but the score must be read with caution: across every source this project tracks, no lobbying, Political Action Committee (PAC), executive-donation, CEO pay, buyback, fine, or subsidy records have been matched to the company. The score reflects the absence of matched data — not a confirmed finding of clean conduct.

•
Political Access Grade: 100.0/100. No federal lobbying filings, no PAC, and no executive donations have been matched to Razer across tracked sources during this period.
•
Wealth Extraction Grade: 69.46/100. No stock buyback or dividend data has been matched; a CEO pay estimate is drawn from industry benchmarks rather than any filed disclosure.
•
Playing by the Rules Grade: 100.0/100. No fines, penalties, or subsidy records have been matched to Razer in this period.
The Sector Context: Razer ranks 3rd out of 12 companies in the federal industry classification our scoring uses — Computer & Electronic Product Manufacturing — above the sector average of 64.3. That standing is shaped almost entirely by the absence of matched records, not by confirmed disclosures of restraint.
The Bottom Line: No Matched Public Records — A Score That Reflects a Gap, Not a Finding
No lobbying, PAC contribution, executive-donation, CEO pay, stock buyback, fine, or subsidy records have been matched to Razer across any source this project tracks from Q3 2024 through Q2 2026. That covers federal Lobbying Disclosure Act (LDA) filings, Federal Election Commission (FEC) data, Good Jobs First penalty and subsidy databases, and SEC-linked compensation disclosures. This reflects the current state of available public records — Razer went private in 2022 and no longer files audited financials with a public exchange — rather than a confirmed finding of compliance or spending in either direction.
Outside Current Tracking Coverage — Political Spending
The Senate LDA search returns no filings for Razer, and FEC individual-contribution data shows no executive donations linked to the company during the covered period. No outside lobbying firms and no revolving-door hires appear in any matched filing. Whether that reflects a genuine decision to stay out of Washington or a gap in what has been matched to this company across available sources, the public record currently shows nothing.
EXHIBIT — THE RESERVED SEAT
$0 in lobbying · $0 in PAC money
Razer filed no federal lobbying and ran no corporate PAC in this window — the reserved seat at the witness table sits empty.
Outside Current Tracking Coverage — Pay and Shareholder Returns
Razer delisted from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in May 2022 and, as a private company, is not required to publicly disclose its CEO pay ratio. The best available figure is 115:1, based on AFL-CIO Executive Paywatch industry benchmarks for comparable companies in this sector, cited via AFL-CIO Executive Paywatch. That is a benchmark estimate, not a disclosed number — it means the tracked peer group’s median gap between top executive earnings and frontline worker pay runs to roughly 115 times the typical worker’s salary. No stock buyback or dividend data has been matched to Razer for this period, so there is no shareholder payout total to weigh against worker compensation.
Outside Current Tracking Coverage — Regulatory Record
No fines, penalties, or public subsidy records have been matched to Razer across this project’s tracked sources for Q3 2024 through Q2 2026. Good Jobs First, the primary violations database this project uses, covers company histories beyond this two-year period, and any records linked to Razer there would reflect that broader timeline rather than the current window. The absence of matched records in this period is not a confirmed clean docket — it is the current state of what is publicly linkable to the company.
