Razer — 1 prefix (MA-L); gaming-hardware brand, OUI = brand (peripherals often USB, not network)
Summary
- // what this is
- Razer is registered to MAC prefix
44:5E:CDin the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with44:5E:CD, that block was registered by Razer — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- A Razer OUI maps to the Razer brand, but because most Razer peripherals are USB, a network-visible Razer MAC is most likely a Blade laptop or the Sila router.
About this vendor.
Razer holds a single MA-L block registered as "Razer Inc", with a corporate dual-HQ in Singapore and Irvine, California. These OUIs appear on gaming laptops (the Blade line), gaming mice/keyboards/headsets, controllers, and the Sila gaming router. Razer is an active gaming-hardware brand that was taken private in 2022. A Razer OUI maps to the Razer brand, but an important classification nuance applies: many Razer peripherals connect via USB dongles and will not expose a network MAC at all, so a network-visible Razer MAC is most likely a Blade laptop's NIC or the Sila router rather than a mouse or keyboard. For triage, a Razer OUI maps to the Razer brand, but because most Razer peripherals are USB, a network-visible Razer MAC is most likely a Blade laptop or the Sila router.
