Razer leans into haptics with a new gaming cushion and vibrating headphones


Razer has released the Freyja gaming cushion, a haptic cushion that you can attach to your gaming chair, the company announced. The cushion is $299.99, and it’s available to buy now.
The Freyja is an extension of the vibration you get from gaming controllers — except instead of just jolting your hands, it buzzes several panels positioned behind and beneath you in response to things happening in a game.
The company says the cushion’s feedback comes from “multi-directional haptics powered by six advanced haptic motor actuators.” It connects via Bluetooth or through Razer’s HyperSpeed Wireless connection.
Most of the time, that vibration will just be converted from the sound in whatever game you’re playing, music you’re listening to, or movie you’re watching. Razer lists Final Fantasy 16, Silent Hill 2, and Stalker 2 as being among the games that integrate the Razer Sensa HD tech that drives the haptics.
Razer debuted a “Project Esther” version of the Freyja at CES, where it kicked The Verge’s Sean Hollister’s butt in a demo during the event. At the time, it wasn’t clear if it would actually become a real thing — yet, here it is.
The company also rolled out the Kraken V4 Pro, a version of its new Kraken V4 headphones that rattles your head with haptics. Like the cushion, the V4 Pro uses Razer HyperSpeed and Bluetooth, as well as USB or 3.5mm wired connections.
The V4 Pro ships with a small box called the OLED Control Hub for tweaking its vibratory feedback, selecting your input, or adjusting effects (the headphones have RGB lights, naturally). The Razer V4 Pro costs $399.99 (or €449.99) and the first orders for it and the Freyja will deliver starting October 7th, according to their product pages.
