RagePADs to launch custom designs in November as sales top 1,000 units

Fourteen-year-old founder Maxim Harris says custom RagePADs will go on sale in November 2026, adding personalized artwork options to the impact-absorbing gaming product. The launch comes as RagePADs crosses 1,000 units sold, reaches customers in nearly every U.S. state and 12 other countries, and donates more than $5,000 to charity.

Why it matters: - RagePADs is moving from a niche desk pad into a customizable product line aimed at gamers and sports fans who want a safer outlet for frustration. - The company’s growth also shows demand beyond its original audience, with sales, international reach and charitable giving all moving up together. - Custom products could broaden the brand ahead of the holiday shopping season.

What happened: - Maxim Harris, a 14-year-old founder of RagePADs, announced that custom RagePADs will be available in November 2026 at RagePADs.com. - Customers will be able to upload eligible artwork they own or are authorized to use for printing on a specially redesigned white RagePAD. - A custom RagePAD will cost $22.99. - A custom RagePAD+ with vibration-activated sound effects will cost $31.99. - RagePADs has sold more than 1,000 units. - RagePADs has reached customers in nearly every U.S. state and 12 other countries. - RagePADs has contributed more than $5,000 to charitable organizations.

The details: - The custom version moves the RagePAD logo to the side, leaving the top surface open for full-color artwork. - Harris began experimenting with custom versions in early 2026. - The printed surface had to withstand repeated strikes while keeping the product’s feel and performance intact. - Harris tested airbrushing, fabric paint, specialized printing, embroidery and multiple transfer methods before choosing a specialized heat transfer. - Harris said the chosen method offered the best mix of full-color detail, durability and the soft striking surface customers expect. - Customers will upload images during checkout on ragepads.com. - Each approved design requires an individual transfer applied to a white RagePAD, which makes custom production slower than standard orders. - Standard RagePADs typically ship within three days. - Custom orders take about 15 business days before shipping because the image must be prepared, the transfer ordered and the product completed. - RagePADs requires clear image rules and intellectual-property confirmations during ordering. - Customers may submit only artwork they created or are authorized to reproduce commercially. - Unauthorized copyrighted or trademarked material is prohibited. - Images of real human faces are prohibited. - Harris said faces can suggest real violence, which conflicts with the product’s intended purpose. - Artwork must be high-resolution and fit within the print area. - RagePADs may reject submissions that violate the rules or where the customer’s right to use the artwork is unclear.

Between the lines: - The custom launch is a product fit play and a creator play at the same time, giving artists and fans a reason to share the brand and personalize it. - Harris is also tightening rules around content and rights, which should reduce legal and reputational risk as customization expands. - The company is still leaning on community buzz, including previews sent to micro-influencers and larger creators. - Harris said some higher-profile collaborations have not been announced yet, suggesting more product and promotion news is coming. - The brand’s charitable messaging remains tied to Harris’s cancer journey and helps distinguish RagePADs from a typical novelty product.

What’s next: - Harris expects most custom orders to feature specific video games or sports teams. - Custom RagePADs are set to go live in November 2026. - Harris recently announced an upgraded RagePAD+ sound module that will be available for pre-order soon. - RagePADs also launched a fundraising promotion with select Rainbow 6 Siege creators around a limited edition Black Ice R6 RagePAD, with help from Ubisoft. - Harris said more collaborations should appear in the next few weeks. - RagePADs plans to keep expanding while continuing donations to organizations supporting children facing cancer and other critical illnesses.

The bottom line: - RagePADs is turning early traction into a broader business, pairing customization, creator marketing and charity as it heads into the holiday season.
