Razer Enki Family: Experience All-Day Gaming Comfort
Also launched at RazerCon 2021 was Razer’s latest lineup of gaming chairs. Designed from the ground up for all-day gaming comfort, the Razer Enki family of gaming chairs has undergone extensive research and development to provide gamers the ultimate level of comfort for those long gaming sessions.
Leading the lineup is the Razer Enki, which has been designed with optimal weight distribution in mind. Featuring a new chair design with 110-degree extended shoulder arches, an ultrawide 21” seat base, a 152-degree recline, and a built-in lumbar arch, the Razer Enki subtly influences the seating posture by relieving pressure and stress on the back and legs. The shoulder arches keep users angled in the ideal seating posture, while the wide seat base helps to spread weight evenly.
The exterior of the chair is encased in dual-textured, eco-friendly synthetic leather for refined comfort, and can withstand wear and tear for years of usage. This leather is manufactured using reduced energy consumption and carbon-emission processes, with no environmentally harmful solvents present in its production. The Razer Enki also comes with a high-quality, plush head cushion, which provides added support to the head and neck.
The Razer Enki will be available in Razer Green, Black and Quartz Pink, allowing gamers to take their personalized setups one step further.
Elevating this experience of all-day gaming comfort is the Razer Enki Pro. Displaying a Carbon-Fiber finish on the chair’s exterior, it is upholstered with premium Alcantara® and sustainable leatherette, with a dual-density backrest cushion for targeted back comfort. The Razer Enki Pro pulls out all the stops, taking all-day gaming comfort to the ultimate level.
For the value-conscious gamer, the Razer Enki X features the same design elements as the Razer Enki for essential all-day gaming comfort. Available in Razer Green, the Razer Enki X is armed with 2D armrests and a 152-degree recline and accommodates a multitude of sitting styles whether gamers want to sit up to focus or lean back and relax.

Kraken V3 Family: Feel your Games, Immerse your Senses
Throughout gaming history, audio and visual technology has evolved to deeply engage our senses of sight and hearing to create lifelike experiences in games. Built from the ground up to enable the most immersive gaming audio experience possible, the Razer Kraken V3 Family lineup marks an overhaul to the fan-favorite Kraken by retaining proven headset fundamentals and implementing Razer HyperSense to deliver a lifelike experience with more features.
Razer HyperSense is an intelligent haptic technology that delivers rich, lifelike touch sensory feedback based on audio cues.

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.
