Razer Iskur Gaming Chair
Designed from the ground up with
comfort, health and style in mind, the all-new Razer Iskur is the first ever
gaming chair from Razer, redefining gaming chairs with a one-of-a-kind external
lumbar support system, high density foam cushioning, stylish multi-layered
synthetic leather and more.
The Iskur was designed to address the
need for superior ergonomics in today’s gaming chairs, with its unique external
lumbar support system that offers 26 degrees of customisation, to help improve
gamer posture during long gaming sessions. The lumbar support system works to
reduce aches and strains by supporting the full curvature of the spine,
specifically the mid and lower regions where tension builds up the most. The
Iskur also features high-density foam cushions for additional support and
comfort, a 4D armrest system that can be customised for optimal reach, and a
memory foam neck pillow for additional support at the top of the spine.
The Iskur sports a multi-layered
black synthetic leather upholstery, accented with Razer green stitching for a
pop of colour. The signature green Razer triple-headed snake
logo adorns the headrest, with Razer’s motto, “For Gamers. By Gamers.” printed
along the seat. The cushioning is finished with a distinctive snake scale
design to create a unique look that is definitively Razer.

Razer Tomahawk Gaming Chassis
The all-new Razer Tomahawk Gaming
Chassis is the first true Razer desktop experience designed by Razer for PC
gaming enthusiasts. The chassis is available in two distinct sizes: The
Tomahawk ATX, a standard mid-tower case, and the Tomahawk Mini-ITX, a small
form factor case.
The Tomahawk Gaming Chassis features
full tempered glass side panels to showcase the desktop components on one side and
the elegant cable management solution on the other. The two panels open from a
detachable rear hinge that gives builders the ability to quickly build, change
and perfect their system. The chassis features a matte black metal frame and an
all-black front panel accentuated with a luminous Razer green logo. The bottom
is lined with Razer Chroma RGB lighting which can be controlled and customised
via the Razer Synapse 3 software, providing a more immersive experience for
those integrated into the Razer ecosystem.
Engineered with airflow in mind, the
Tomahawk Gaming Chassis can support up to a 360mm radiator along the front and
up to two 140mm fans along the top for maximum cooling performance. The
built-in cable management system keeps unruly cables tucked away and out of
sight to prevent the obstruction of air, maximise usable space, and create an
overall cleaner aesthetic.

crisp THX® Spatial Audio to give on-the-go gamers and creators the premier

delight, offering 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 space, a higher contrast ratio,

space.

Razer
Seiren Mini
For years, studio grade mics have
been cumbersome and unsightly, tarnishing the cleanest and most minimalistic
desktop setups. Today, Razer answers the call for a sleek and compact desktop
microphone with the all-new Razer Seiren Mini, Razer’s smallest USB powered
microphone to date. The Seiren Mini offers pro grade sound in an ultra-compact
form factor and variety of colours including Razer Black, Quartz Pink, and
Mercury White to fit any aesthetic.
Despite its diminutive size, the
Seiren Mini punches above its weight with a supercardioid pickup pattern that
helps reduce unwanted ambient noise, paired with a finely tuned 14mm condenser
capsule to broadcast crisp and accurate sound. To ensure vocal clarity in
lively environments, the Seiren Mini comes with a built-in shock mount to
reduce vibrations from outside sources and a heavy-duty tilting stand to
maintain stability and positional accuracy.
Crafted with convenience in mind, the
Seiren Mini weighs less than a pound and stands a
mere 6.42 inches tall, making it light enough to move to any location and small
enough to fit on the most cramped desktops. The microphone also features a
simple plug and play design allowing users to jump into streaming or voice
conferencing through a single USB connection.

Razer Kraken BT Kitty Edition
A new take on a fan favourite, the
all-new Razer Kraken BT Kitty Edition allows fans to take their meow factor
anywhere and everywhere. Matching style with functionality, the new headset
cuts the cord with Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity while packing booming 40mm
drivers, Razer Chroma RGB and up to 50 hours of battery life. The headset also
features a built-in microphone with beamforming technology to block out ambient
noise and capture the user’s voice clearly and precisely.
Rocking the signature kitty ear
design, the Kraken BT Kitty Edition is available in a stylish Quartz Pink
finish, accented with Mercury White padding on the headband and earcups. The
earcups and kitty ears are complete with Razer Chroma RGB, which responds to
apps and notifications and can also be customised through the Razer Audio App
to compliment any style.

Razer Chroma RGB
Alongside the new hardware
announcements, Razer introduced four new partners to the rapidly growing Razer
Chroma Connect program: WD Black, Seagate Gaming, Yeelight, and Twinkly. The
Razer Chroma Connect program now consists of over 50 third-party hardware
partners, making it the world’s largest RGB lighting ecosystem for gaming
devices with support for over 500 devices and over 150 games and applications.
To help natively control the growing
list of connectable devices, Razer also announced the first ever Razer Edition
motherboards in collaboration with ASRock. The new motherboards are
Razer-designed versions of the ASRock Taichi, offering a unique design and
support for either X570 or B550 chipsets.. The boards are the first of their
kind, offering native Razer Chroma RGB support and universal compatibility with
thousands of addressable RGB (ARGB) components. DIY PC builders with multiple
ARGB components can now easily sync every component with their Razer
peripherals with just the Razer Synapse 3 app.

Sneki Snek X Conservation
International
Closing RazerCon 2020, Razer shared
exciting news on a true community favorite: Sneki Snek has been named the
official Razer chief gaming mascot and is available now in a huggable plush
form. What began as a sketch by a Razer designer quickly became one of the most
requested designs, with dozens of fan art submissions, homemade plushies, and
even tattoos done in its honor. Sneki Snek has dominated the hearts and minds
of fans everywhere and now every fan can have their very own.
Alongside the Sneki Snek plushie,
Razer announced their collaboration with Conservation International, a global
environmental organisation whose mission is to empower societies to responsibly
and sustainably care for nature and the wellbeing of humanity. To help achieve
this meaningful vision, Razer has called upon the fans and the powers of Sneki
Snek to help save at least 100,000 trees, or approximately 400 acres of
forests, which endangered species depend on to survive.
For every Sneki Snek plushie sold, a
contribution will be made to Conservation International to protect ten trees in
places where Conservation International operates. With the help and support of
fans everywhere, Razer and Conservation International can easily crush that
goal.
