It might sound insane, but Razer really wants you to feel a level of immersion that no other brand can guarantee, even if that pursuit means creating a cushion that injects haptics into your back and butts . But the brand is not all about avant-garde RGB-fueled wild products, like the aforementioned Freyja haptics gaming cushion or the Zephry Pro mask . Take for example the Kraken V4 Pro headphones, that were announced at the RazerCon 2024 event.
The design is your typical Razer affair with stealth black aesthetics and oodles of RGB work on the earcups so that they can scream “gamer” from a mile away. But the most interesting trick up their sleeve is support for haptic feedback, which vibrates to the tune of in-game content. Razer calls it Sensa HD Haptics, and thanks to collaboration with gaming studios, the company claims that users can feel “everything from the whizz of bullets to the subtle vibrations of distant thunderstorms.
” There are three preset haptic settings to pick from, but users can create their own custom profile, as well. Of course, there’s also an option to adjust the intensity of the vibrations on the Kraken V4 Pro headphones. Now, these are not flat haptics.
Instead, the vibration output is calibrated to the in-game action sequence intensity, the directional aspect, and the length of the audio playing in the background. The whole system works just fine with music and films, as well. Plus, the company is promising a response time of under 20 milli.
