The “first ever carbon neutral livestream for gamers”, RazerCon 2021, was an incredibly successful event, celebrating the gaming community and engaging with more than 1.5 million viewers around the world. In true Razer fashion, RazerCon 2021 celebrated all things gaming with highly anticipated content highlights and exhilarating announcements from partners such as Intel, Microsoft, Norton Gaming, and Seagate Gaming. We also heard Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan announce Razer’s entry into the high-performance PC components industry, provide an update on the company’s sustainability efforts, and exclusively reveal a plethora of upcoming products.

Razer Zephyr Wearable Air Purifier

The Razer Zephyr is the latest evolution of a wearable air purifier inspired by the principles of staying safe, social and sustainable. FDA-registered and lab-tested for 99% BFE, the Razer Zephyr’s N95 grade filters with two-way protection last three times longer than single-use disposable masks and ensure that both breaths of air inhaled and exhaled are safeguarded. Engineered with active circulation, the Razer Zephyr comes equipped with two air exchange chambers that allow air to flow freely in and out of the wearable air purifier.

The Razer Zephyr is enhanced by a pair of 2-speed fans (4200/6200 RPM) that enable increased air circulation for even better cooling, providing freshly filtered air and increased comfort. To top it off, the Razer Zephyr provides seamless social interaction thanks to a transparent design with a layer of anti-fog coating and interior lights for clear facial expressions.

Powered by Razer Chroma RGB™, users can make a statement with the Razer Zephyr’s interior lights and fans that can be easily controlled via the Razer Zephyr app available for both iOS and Android. Designed with comfort and health in mind, a soft silicone face seal with a dual strap design ensures a tight seal over the mouth and nose, while its adjustable head and neck straps provide a secure, yet comfortable fit for all head sizes.

Built for a sustainable future, the Razer Zephyr’s N95 Grade filters maintain optimized filtration efficiency for up to three days, resulting in 80% less waste than single-use surgical masks.

Razer Zephyr is available at Razer.com from £99.99 / $99.99 USD / €109.99 MSRP.

The Razer Kraken V3 Pro gaming headset

At RazerCon 2021, Razer introduced the Razer Kraken V3 Pro, the first wireless gaming headset in Razer’s iconic Kraken line-up. Equipped with Razer HyperSense and an on-headset adjuster, gamers can customize the haptics intensity for lifelike sensations to produce powerful feedback.

The headset is built with the Razer TriForce Titanium 50mm Drivers to create powerful and immersive sound, while THX Spatial Audio gives users a surround sound option with deeper audio customization features. It sports a refreshed industrial design of the Kraken line that is both slimmer and lighter, with an all-new glossy Razer Chroma RGB ring, detachable HyperClear Supercardioid mic, and USB-C charging capabilities.

The Razer Kraken V3 lineup also includes the Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense, which offers the same haptics experience but in wired mode, and the Razer Kraken V3 that features identical specs without haptics.

Razer Book now available with Windows 11 and in Quartz

RazerCon 2021 also unveiled the Razer Book in a new fan favorite colorway, Quartz. Crafted for go-getters and spirited entrepreneurs with fearless individuality, the ultraportable Razer Book Quartz is armed with Intel EVO and Windows 11 preloaded and takes productivity to the next level with a stunning bezel-less display and all-day battery life. Built for mobility, the Razer Book Quartz is a compact companion – weighing in at under 3 lbs. and only 0.6” thin, it moves effortlessly from job to job.
