The new accessories Razer is launching at CES 2024 are just as luxurious as you’d expect. At this year’s conference, the company unveiled a follow-up to its first gaming chair, an 11-port USB-C dock, a gaming mat with HD haptics, and a monitor-mounted light strip with Chroma RGB lighting.
Razer Iskur V2 Gaming Chair
The Razer Iskur V2 gaming chair is the successor to the 2020 original. The highlight of the new model is its “6D adjustable adaptive lumbar support system.” Described as the only one of its kind, the lumbar support features a spring-loaded mechanism that adjusts to the body’s weight and posture, while also allowing manual control of the protrusion and height of the lumbar area.
Razer said it gathered feedback from ergonomic experts and the esports community when designing the Iskur V2. The chair can tilt up to 152 degrees and you can control its inclination. It includes high-density foam padding and is made from EPU-grade synthetic leather. The company describes it as “extensive customization of height, position and angle” and comes with a memory foam headrest.
The Iskur V2 costs $650 and can be ordered from Razer’s website today.
Razer USB C Dock
Razer also launched a new 11-port docking station that is compatible with Windows PCs, Macs, iPads and Chromebooks. On the port front, the Razer USB C dock has four USB-A, two USB-C, a Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI, a 3.5mm audio combo jack, and UHS-I SD and microSD slot.
The dock’s HDMI port can output audio up to 4K, 60Hz, and its audio jack supports 7.1 surround sound. The accessory is made of aluminum alloy and its USB port supports 85W laptop charging.
The Razer USB C Dock costs $120 and is available now from Razer.
Esther Plan Cushion
Following its acquisition of Interhaptics in 2022, Razer showed off Project Esther, “the world’s first high-definition tactile gaming cushion,” which sounds like it’s made from the CES-themed Mad Lib. The cushion hasn’t been announced as a commercial product (at least not yet), but it’s designed to show off Razer Sensa haptic technology.
The Project Esther Chair Cushion is similar in size and shape to a free-standing massage chair and stretches along the back where you sit. Developers can control Sensa’s “directionality, multi-actuator experience, and multi-device integration between different platforms and peripherals.” The technology is plug-and-play and automatically converts audio into high-definition haptics.
Thanks to 16 built-in actuators, the chair provides “wideband, high-definition haptics.” It has adjustable straps, and Razer says it’s compatible with most gaming and office chairs. (If it comes to market, it might help haptic-obsessed people save money on gaming chairs.) It supports low-latency connectivity to ensure its rumble stays in sync with your gaming or media content without lag.
Ethernet Monitoring Light Strip
Razer loves RGB lighting, and the company has a new bar to prove it. The Aether Monitor Light Strip is a mountable accessory that comes with front and rear LEDs.
The light strip has a color rendering index (CRI, color accuracy rating) score of 95 and can illuminate an area of 60 cm x 30 cm (approximately 2 x 1 foot). Its Chroma RGB lighting supports more than 16.8 million colors and “countless lighting effects.”
The bar also includes capacitive touch controls. Its brightness, color temperature and chroma effects can all be customized by the user. It supports the Matter smart home standard, and users can adjust its settings through the Razer Gamer Room app.
The Aether Monitor Light Bar will be available in March for $130.
