Only thing I can think of is maybe they all work in synapse? Could potentially have all your rgb on one software.
Still overpriced though.

same reason the buy overprice AIO and case with RGB, because “style” before substance.

people who are deep into synapse and chroma. you can do some pretty cool stuff in the razer ecosystem. you have have your rgb react to in game stuff and have an under chair vibrator buzz when there is an explosion in the game. razer has a heavy and expensive ‘immersion’ ecosystem

I don’t even think I’ve seen these in builds, they’re ugly

I buy be quiet light wings because they cost just as much as silent wings.

They look cool.

Could get 3 Noctuas for that

That looks like the lower-stock pricing. They released closer to $115 for a 3-pack or $39 each. Certainly high for what you get, but not too far out there. There are Corsair and Lian Li fans that are around $50 each, though the later has tiny LCDs.
This is in contrast to something like the plain, basic Arctic fans that are like $8 each.

For looks and that’s it
Flexi_MC
Because it’s Razer and the RGB is really good
no_flair
they don’t call it “cult of razer” for no reason.
but really people pay for the brand name/ rgb for better or worse
unaFISHalyRAW
You can make the same argument about something in just about every product category so idk what answer you’re expecting. People buy the fan because they like Razer. Simple as that

Because it’s all about ecosystems, especially when there’s an RGB aspect to consider. These look cool and are plug’n’play ready with your Synapse-driven Razer RGB controller.
The target audience isn’t buying these fans for their cooling capability, they’re buying them because they are cool.

This is like asking, “Why do people buy $60k cars when they can get from A to B in a $20k car?”
Some people want it. Leave them alone.

I’ve literally never heard of/seen anyone using these fans😅
Izan_TM
oh god those look worse than temu fans holy shit
tau2pi_Math
I have three. I got them off some guy on eBay for US$60 in the box.
The lighting is very minimalist, which I like. If I turn them off, you would never know my PC has any RGB.

Why do people buy those lian li fans that cost like 50-60€ a piece?
People like them, dont worry about other peoples money

and rgb

I have ten of them, but I sure as hell didn’t pay full price for them. I bought them because they matched better with some of the other parts I had to switch out when building my most recent rig. Some of the original parts I had planned weren’t available so I made some last minute switches.

Because razer gud

Brand aesthetics, and sponsorships.
SorryIfTruthHurts
For aesthetics obviously. Why do people even post these stupid questions on Reddit?
UndeadWaffle12
Do they? I’ve never seen someone post a build with those fans
elevate35
Because it’s their money that they earned and can spend on whatever they want why tf do you care?
angelpunk18
Same reason people buy Corsair fans

I’m in noctua or it’s nothing. There’s no in-between for me 🤣

They like the looks and have way more disposable income than you do so they don’t care. PC people really struggle to comprehend that there are people who earn, let’s say, 10K USD a month and literally don’t care if a GPU costs 5000 USD or a fan costs 60 USD. I am certainly not one of them, but I am fine with those people spending their money however they want.

Known name. Razer is very good at marketing and convincing people their stuff is premium quality.
