History
Rapoo was founded in 2002 as a technology firm focused on the research, development, and manufacturing of computer peripherals. In 2007, the company officially launched the Rapoo brand in China and became one of the first manufacturers to popularise 2.4 GHz wireless keyboards and mice, helping to accelerate the adoption of wireless peripherals in the Chinese market. Within a few years, it had grown into one of the country’s leading brands in this segment.1
A significant milestone occurred in 2011 when Rapoo was listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange under the stock code 002577. During this period, the company also introduced products utilising the 5 GHz wireless frequency band, aiming to deliver more stable wireless connections while improving energy efficiency.
In 2012, Rapoo completed a large, highly automated manufacturing facility in Shenzhen. This plant enhanced production capacity, quality control, and sustainable manufacturing practices. Two years later, the company entered the gaming market with the launch of its dedicated V Series gaming peripherals.2
Since then, Rapoo has continued to expand its portfolio with technologies such as:
- Multi-mode Wireless (2018), enabling devices to connect via Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz wireless simultaneously.
