If you tell someone you've been invited into a private suite in Vegas, they may well raise their eyebrows. It is the city of sin, after all, and the imagination can run wild.
However, Razer gave me me an experience to remember before CES 2025 kicked off in earnest—although thankfully all of it was gaming hardware-related.
First of all, I got the chance to experience the Razer Freyja haptic feedback cushion (affectionately referred to as «the bum rumbler» in the PC Gamer office) in combination with the Razer Kraken V4 Pro headset and its built-in, err, vibrators.
Both existing products we've reviewed recently, and if I'm honest, ones I was a little wary of. Haptic feedback can be a bit gimmicky, although if anyone's game for some good vibrations (in theory, at least), it's me.
Well blow me down, the two working in unison is quite the effect. To add to the immersion, I was placed in front of a laptop making use of Razer's new Aether standing lightbars (two glowing RGB rods sitting on either side of a laptop and set to adjust the colour at appropriate points) while I watched a gameplay video of what-did-you-just-put-in-my-coffee simulator, Thumper.
