Razer’s new ‘Phantom White’ designs are a translucent 90s throwback

It’s an odd factor, growing older into the prime nostalgia market. All of a sudden each present on TV and each product on cabinets is laser-targeted at me. Take Razer’s new “Phantom White” assortment of PC gaming gear, for instance. It’s leaning arduous into the translucent plastic development of the late 90s… and, apparently, the mid-2020s.

There are not any new gadgets on this vary, however a few of Razer’s hottest gaming geegaws now include delicate white shells that glow with the corporate’s signature RGB lighting. The BlackWidow V4 75% keyboard might be the star of the present for me, if solely as a result of it’s a superb keyboard by itself. However it’s also possible to get the Basilisk V3 Professional mouse, the Firefly V2 Professional RGB mousepad, the Barracuda X Chroma headset, and the Kishi V3 telephone controller within the new colorway.

Costs for the brand new assortment are a bit increased—the keyboard is $200 versus $180 for the common black or white choices—however nobody ever accused Razer of being significantly inquisitive about worth.

All of those apart from the controller are additionally out there in “Phantom Inexperienced,” which can also be clear and, properly, inexperienced. The brand new shade choices are actually model over substance… although I assume they can provide you a a lot better take a look at the substance of your PC gaming devices.
