Razer’s trade fair selection included, for example, a concept-level gaming chair with cooling or heating ventilation as needed, an artificial intelligence trainer and docks.
Razer, which once promoted itself as a lifestyle brand for gamers, is naturally also present at the CES trade fair. The company’s trade fair offerings included, among other things, new gaming chairs and an artificial intelligence coach, but at least at this stage, some of the new products are still in the concept stage. The company also celebrated its 20th anniversary at the fair.
Razer’s sky actually began long before the company was founded, when the original Razer Boomslang was released by kärna LLC in 1999. However, Razer’s founders Min-Liang Tan and Robert Krakoff were already involved in the design at that time. kärna LLC went bankrupt in 2000, and the founding of Razer finally had to wait until 2005, when Tan and Krakoff officially founded the company “For Gamers. By Gamers.” with motto. The 20-year anniversary is celebrated at least with the festive version of Boomslang, which was originally presented already half way back last year.
According to the company, Project Arielle is the world’s first heating and cooling gaming chair with Razer Mesh fabric, although at this stage we are still talking about a product in the concept phase. The concept, based on the Razer Fujin Pro gaming chair, is equipped with a fan system that is promised to efficiently move air throughout the body. To ensure the best gaming performance, the chair also has RGB light strips that go around the seat and back.
In reality, however, there is no air flow for the entire body, but a platform-less fan blows air from the edges of the backrest. Its core is hidden in the lower part of the backrest, from where the air it blows is promised to cool the perceived temperature by 2-5°C. If the player catches a cold, there is also a heating option that blows air heated to 30°C. The fan speed can be adjusted in three steps.
Razer Iskur V2 X will be sold directly, unlike the previous one. The more affordable gaming chair is equipped, among other things, with lower back support, a wider seat than before, cushions of varying stiffness that adapt to the user and breathable, multi-layered fabric, as well as a 152° tilt. The hand supports are adjustable in two directions. Instead of the Iskur V2’s Frog mechanism, the V2 X is equipped with a Butterfly mechanism. Priced at EUR 299.99, the chair is also available with separately sold memory foam-filled pillows for the lower back and behind the head.
As the name suggests, Razer Aether Standing Light Bars are two standing RGB poles to ensure the best gaming performance. The light poles are one-sided, which means that the player can use them to tint the walls according to their taste or create a direct atmosphere with the RGB glow shining towards them. The poles are priced at 119.99 euros and can be paired with other light products from the same Aether series, such as the light bar that can be placed on top of the screen.
The Razer Handheld Deck Chroma, designed for devices of the handheld console class, and the Razer Monitor Stand Chroma, which raises the screen barely 8 centimeters from the table, provide more RGB brightness that sharpens gaming performance to its peak. The handheld console dock is equipped with three USB-A connectors and one HDMI, USB-C and network connector. RGB shines from the front of the dock and the angle of the hand console stand can be adjusted to an angle that suits your taste. In addition to RGB lighting, the aluminum Monitor Stand Chroma intended for under the screen is equipped with USB-C, HDMI and two USB-A connectors as well as a USB-C input. The Handheld Dock Chroma is priced at 89.99 and the Monitor Stand Chroma at 179.99 euros.
Project Ava, on the other hand, is an artificial intelligence trainer, guide, and everything else that a player needs, according to Razer, that fits well with current trends. It can coach the player in real time and can offer, for example, a pre-game warm-up moment with last-minute tips, advice during the game, and finally an analysis of what went wrong or went right. It can also advise, for example, on tactics suitable for boss opponents in games and even offer direct playthrough instructions. In addition, it can optimize the computer’s settings for the best impact, according to Razer, by pressing one button. The company did not yet say when it will be available, but promised that it will be more than just a nice concept for trade fairs.
