Razer’s new white translucent gaming accessories are its best looking yet.

Razer is announcing a new Phantom White Collection of translucent gaming accessories. The see-through white peripherals are a follow-up to the original Phantom Collection, which was very green — very Razer.

These white versions look much better to my eyes, toning down the overall Razer-ness of it all. At least, as much as RGB-ified gamer lights can be “toned down.”

April Fools’ 2025: “Zoomer gibberish.”

Razer’s April Fools’ prank is the “Razer Skibidi” headset, which it says is “the world’s first AI-powered brainrot translator headset.” Razer even made a mock translator you can try on its website.

Razer Laptop Cooling Pad review: are you a fan?0

The $150 RGB laptop stand can keep any laptop cool, and on a few Razer Blade 16 gaming laptops, it can even improve 1080p performance.

More than $1 million in refunds are going out to people who bought Razer’s Zephyr face masks.

The covid pandemic saga of Razer’s RGB-lit Zephyr face mask is probably ending now that checks and PayPal payments are giving money back to the 6,764 buyers.

Last year, the FTC settled with Razer over its misleading statements and “N95-grade” filtering claims made without evidence or testing, leading to refunds and a $100k civil penalty.

OhSnap Mcon: the viral phone gamepad designed by a teen looked even more fun in reality.

Just before Christmas, I told you how the company behind those awesome Popsocket alternatives had rescued the coolest-looking gamepad phone attachment I’ve ever seen.

Here at CES, my colleague Chris Welch got a quick demo that answers the biggest question: can this snappy spring-loaded gadget fling your phone around without yeeting it to the ground?

My favorite thing at CES is the Razer gaming chair that heats and cools.

It’s not the most technologically advanced thing ever, no butt-kicking haptics inside. Just a comfy mesh chair that can cool me when I inevitably run hot or warm me on chilly days, with near-silent jets of conditioned air. I really hope Razer actually sells this Project Arielle.
