Razer launched three key new products at Razer Con 2024, including the Freyja haptic technology gaming chair mat featuring Sensa HD haptic technology, the Kraken V4 Pro headset set, and the new Razer laptop cooling stand.
Razer Freyja Haptic Technology Gaming Chair Pad
Freyja is the world’s first tactile gaming chair cushion. It has up to 6 built-in tactile triggers, 4 on the back and 2 on the legs. It provides a directional tactile somatosensory feel, allowing players to clearly feel the bullets passing through, Explosions, racing tracks, and even environmental effects such as storms and earthquakes.
Because it is fixed with elastic straps, it is compatible with a variety of gaming chairs. There is also an adjustment panel on the chair cushion, which can be quickly switched on and off to adjust the intensity of tactile feedback.
Connection methods are divided into wired and wireless. The wired method only requires a single connection and incorporates an easy-to-untie breakout mode to prevent users from tripping or getting entangled in the wiring. The wireless mode provides 2.4 GHz RF and Bluetooth, which can not only be used on PC, but also can be connected to Android devices through the Nexus App.
The Razer Freyja is priced at NT$9,999 and is expected to be available in the fourth quarter of this year (2023).
Razer Kraken V4 Pro Headset Set
In the past, the Kraken series of headsets tended to be mainstream and entry-level. The Kraken V4 Pro has taken a high-end route, adding Sensa HD haptic technology and equipped with an OLED screen controller.
Kraken V4 Pro’s haptic technology allows players to feel the vibrations of bullets flying and thunder, supporting “Hogwarts Legacy” and “STALKER 2: Heart of Chernobyl” of Chornobyl, Final Fantasy XVI, and Silent Hill 2.
Its audio unit uses Razer TriForce 40 mm Bio-Cellulose driver unit and supports THX Spatial Audio technology, which can create a surround listening experience from different directions. Up to 9 zones of LEDs are built into the casing, so it can create a variety of colorful RGB lighting effects. The OLED controller provides more than 20 customization options, which players can adjust at a glance and quickly.
The connection method provides 4 types of connection methods: 3.5 mm analog audio source, USB digital signal, 2.4 GHz RF and Bluetooth. Among them, 2.4 GHz RF and Bluetooth are the first mixing mode, allowing players to enjoy the sound effects of PC or home game console through 2.4 GHz RF. In addition, you can also use Bluetooth to answer calls from your mobile phone.
The Razer Kraken V4 Pro is priced at NT$13,590 and will also be available in the fourth quarter of this year.
Razer Laptop Cooling Stand
Compared with the simple laptop stand in the past, Razer has added an active fan this time, which uses a 140 mm blower fan to blow room temperature cool air on the bottom of the laptop. A filter is also installed at the bottom of the fan to reduce the chance of dust invading the laptop body. The fan can also detect the temperature of the laptop through software and adjust the speed.
There are 3 placement methods for the bottom panel of the touch laptop, which is compatible with 14 ~ 18-inch laptops. In addition to RGB lighting effects, the body also provides 3 sets of USB Type-A hubs to facilitate users to expand connections.
The Razer laptop cooling stand costs NT$ 4,190 and will also be available in the fourth quarter of this year.
Razer 20th Anniversary Products
At the end of the event, Razer announced that it will launch a 20th anniversary edition of Razer’s early masterpiece Boomslang in 2025, which is about to celebrate its 20th anniversary. It will bring the latest hardware technology, so stay tuned.
