Razer today announced it will give Razer Nabu X smartbands at no-charge to developers who visit its GDC booth during expo hours from March 4 to March 6.
Interested developers will need to provide proof of an app they have developed or are developing on the iOS or Android platform to be eligible to receive a Nabu X. Alternately, interested parties, and those not attending GDC, may apply for entry in the Nabu Developer Program to be considered for a Nabu X unit.
“Since its launch last year, the Nabu Developer Program has grown significantly,” says Jun Shen Chia, Razer product marketing manager. “We have an evolved SDK, comprehensive guidelines to help programmers get started quickly, and an open communication channel to our Development Relations team at Razer. We’re looking forward to meeting developers in-person at the (GDC) show and get them rolling on connecting great apps with our award-winning hardware.”

The Nabu Developer Program offers mobile app developers an opportunity to connect their apps to an open wearables platform with a simple-to-use SDK. To-date, 13 third-party apps have been connected to the Nabu wearables platform, and more are expected.
The Razer Nabu X joins the Razer Nabu in the company’s wearables category, both as separate solutions being sold side-by-side. The company’s first wearable features a private message OLED screen. The Razer Nabu is an award-winning wearable that was first introduced at the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) in 2014 where it won a “Best of CES” award as “People’s Choice,” in a field of more than 40 finalists by earning 50 percent of the popular vote during the show.
Free Nabu X units are subject to availability and at Razer’s sole discretion with a limited supply. If stock runs out at GDC, qualified developers will have their units shipped to them after the event. The Razer Nabu X is available now on Razer’s website.
