Razer, a manufacturer of computers and computer accessories, is considering humans as machines. Individuals experience warmth and tend to overheat. They feel cold and begin to tremble. To address this issue, Razer’s concept chair “Arielle” is loaded with a temperature-regulating system designed to cool or heat your back, ensuring you won’t wish to exit your gaming haven.

If the Project Arielle chair’s visuals seem familiar, it is due to its design, which is based on the Razer Fujin Pro featuring a mesh seat and back. The bladeless fan mechanism is placed around the fringe of the Arielle chair’s rear. Razer assures you won’t perceive its functioning, with the fan motor positioned at the chair’s base. It directs air down your spine, and you have the option to switch between the chair emitting cool or warm air via incorporated PTC heating devices. According to Razer, the chair can reach a hot air output of up to 86 degrees Fahrenheit. Additionally, the company mentioned that users will perceive a reduction of 35 to 41 degrees in temperature within an arid space.

The chair incorporates a compact panel on the side for adjusting the heat. The controls also provide a “quick release” option if you accidentally roll over the power cord. This feature would have been beneficial in the Razer Freyja, the firm’s prior concept that transitioned into a product serving as a haptic cushion for gaming. The chair is merely a concept, thus there’s no assurance of it being available for purchase.

Razer is recognized for its RGB illumination and still prefers to refer to our gaming workstations as “battle stations,” though the term makes me cringe every time I hear it. Nevertheless, there are noteworthy items at this CES. Razer’s latest $80 Handheld Dock Chroma with its 100W power pass-through is notably more stylish than a conventional Steam Deck dock, matching Valve’s docking station MSRP in cost. Additionally, the company introduced a $100 luminous Aether Standing Light Bar and $200 luminous monitor stand for when there aren’t enough pulsating Razer products in your workspace.

However, Razer may greatly impact PC gaming this year with its fresh beta software designed for streaming games from your setup to your smartphone. This service, named Razer PC Remote Play, utilizes the existing Razer Nexus app on your computer to stream what it labels as “full-resolution” gaming to an Android handset (apologies to iPhone users).

As an added benefit, Razer announced that this service will be “subscription-free.” It’s advantageous for anyone with games outside of Steam, from platforms like Epic Games Store or GOG, who wants an easier method to play them without integrating them into Steam Link. The downside is dealing with Razer’s software interface, which might be cumbersome.
