CONGERS, N.Y., May 4, 2026<\/strong> \u2014 Teen entrepreneur Maxim Harris, founder of RagePADs, is turning a personal challenge into a fast-growing international business success story after a breakout 2025, expanding globally in 2026 while continuing cancer treatment and donating profits to children\u2019s charities.<\/p>\n

What began as an idea to manage frustration during gaming and sports has quickly evolved into one of the most unique emerging youth-founded consumer brands online.<\/p>\n

RagePADs, the shock-absorbing gaming and sports accessory designed to safely handle frustration during competitive moments, is now shipping internationally after originally launching in the United States. The company has already shipped products to 46 U.S. states, 8 countries, and 3 continents<\/strong>, and has now officially sold its 1,000th RagePAD, a major milestone that highlights the company\u2019s remarkable rise from a simple idea into a fast-growing international brand in just a short time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAll five RagePAD color options are now in stock and shipping,\u201d said Harris. \u201cIt\u2019s exciting to see something that originally existed only in my head become something people around the world are actually using.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Products are currently available through the company\u2019s official website, www.ragepads.com<\/a><\/strong>, as well as TikTok Shop @RagePADs<\/strong>, where the brand continues to generate strong engagement following viral success.<\/p>\n

Harris says affordability remains a major part of the company\u2019s mission.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want RagePADs to be the kind of gift somebody can buy for a gamer for under $25,\u201d Harris said. \u201cThere are so few cool gaming gifts out there that cost less than $50. I want RagePADs to be something families can buy as an affordable Christmas gift for a gamer, or something a kid could buy for a friend\u2019s birthday.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

From Viral Attention to Global Demand<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

RagePADs has gained visibility through major creators and influencers including Jynxzi, MrWhosetheboss, TommyInnit, thatgrlTrish<\/strong>, and several voice actors connected to the Marvel Rivals<\/em> video game. These features have helped expose the product to millions of gamers and fans worldwide.<\/p>\n

Much of the company\u2019s marketing growth is managed by Maxim\u2019s older brother, Xavier Harris, who helps oversee sales and brand operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnybody creating content knows there can be negativity online,\u201d said Xavier Harris. \u201cBut the overwhelming majority of people have been supportive, excited, and genuinely happy to see Maxim succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thousands of comments across RagePADs content include customer praise, requests for restocks, custom color ideas, and stories from buyers eager to receive their orders.<\/p>\n

Maxim also regularly interacts directly with customers, helping expedite orders for birthdays and assisting buyers with shipping options whenever possible.<\/p>\n

A Product Built for Gamers and Sports Fans<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

RagePADs are purpose-built shock-absorbing pads engineered to handle slaps, taps, hammer fists, and other frustration-driven impacts that often happen during gaming or sports viewing.<\/p>\n

The product helps protect desks, walls, and equipment while reducing noise and lowering the chance of injury.<\/p>\n

Each RagePAD features a durable, non-slip 8×8-inch target surface<\/strong> and is available in both a standard version and a sound-enhanced RagePAD Plus<\/strong> model.<\/p>\n

Keeping Pricing Fair While Expanding Worldwide<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

As international demand grows, RagePADs has begun early discussions with retail partners in multiple countries to improve accessibility and reduce shipping costs for customers abroad.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrice is important to me,\u201d Harris said. \u201cI try to balance building a business, giving back to organizations like St. Jude Children\u2019s Research Hospital<\/strong>, and making a product people can actually afford. A lot of gaming products have become expensive just because people will pay it. I don\u2019t want RagePADs to be like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Building a Business While Battling Cancer<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

While scaling his company, Harris continues treatment at St. Jude Children\u2019s Research Hospital in Memphis<\/strong> (www.stjude.com<\/a><\/strong>).<\/p>\n

\u201cIt can get hectic right before and right after I fly to St. Jude making sure orders are shipped,\u201d Harris said. \u201cBut I\u2019m lucky my treatment currently allows me to be home most of the time and feel pretty good. That wasn\u2019t always the case, and it\u2019s not the case for thousands of other kids.\u201d<\/p>\n

That experience is exactly why giving back remains central to the RagePADs mission.<\/p>\n

RagePADs donates at least 20% of all profits<\/strong> to St. Jude, with a live donation counter displayed on the company website.<\/p>\n

In 2025, Harris donated more than $2,000<\/strong> to St. Jude and additional charities supporting sick children, including Jack\u2019s Teddy Bears Fundraiser<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In 2026, he expanded those efforts further with an additional donation of over $1,000 to Make-A-Wish<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a wish kid, I know how much Make-A-Wish means to me and other kids facing serious illness,\u201d Harris said. \u201cI wanted to help them reach more families like mine.\u201d<\/p>\n
