Razer has just unleashed a worldwide release of the Razer Kraken Kitty V2 Gengar Edition, a wired gaming headset that blends high-performance audio with unmistakable Pokémon flair. Initially launched in China, this eye-catching accessory is now available globally, offering the same robust feature set as the standard model but wrapped in a vibrant, ghostly aesthetic inspired by the beloved Generation I Pokémon.
Priced at $140, the headset showcases a rich multi-tone purple finish, complete with sculpted Gengar ears and headspikes along the headband. The outer earcups feature illuminated RGB rings and subtle Gengar decals, all customizable through Razer’s Chroma desktop app. Users can sync lighting effects with gameplay or choose from a spectrum of colors to match their setup.
Underneath its playful exterior, the headset doesn’t skimp on performance. It is equipped with Razer’s TriForce 40mm drivers and a HyperClear Cardioid microphone, ensuring crisp audio and clear communication. Support for 7.1 virtual surround sound on Windows 10 or later enhances immersion, while the hybrid fabric and leatherette ear cushions provide comfort and passive noise isolation during long sessions.
Compatibility extends beyond PC, the headset connects via USB-A to a variety of devices, including Macs and consoles like the Nintendo Switch. This makes it an appealing option for gamers anticipating October’s release of Pokemon Legends: Z-A, especially when playing in docked mode.
This launch follows closely on the heels of Razer’s broader Pokémon Collection, which includes themed peripherals like mice, keyboards, and other headsets adorned with designs from classic starters like Pikachu and Charmander. Surprisingly, many of these collectible items remain available at major retailers.
In related news, preorders for Pokemon Legends: Z-A are now live ahead of its October 16 debut on Switch and the upcoming Switch 2. Retailers like Best Buy and Walmart are offering exclusive physical bonuses, such as oversized mousepads and enamel pin sets, while Nintendo plans to release a special console bundle that includes a digital copy of the game.
