During CES 2025, Razer not only launched its thinnest 16-inch Blade gaming laptop ever, but also showcased a mesh-designed gaming chair called Project Arielle with integrated temperature control function. It also launched a monitor stand accessory with RGB lighting effects, and also showcased many other gaming ecosystem application technologies and products.
Project Arielle, a gaming chair that makes players sit more comfortably
Project Arielle is actually based on Razer's Fujin Pro gaming chair. Not only does it use a mesh design to increase breathability when sitting, but it can also generate three wind speeds of cold or warm air through a fanless airflow system, allowing users to maintain comfort when using it in summer or winter temperatures.
Of course, Project Arielle itself is also equipped with Chroma RGB lighting effects, and can change color according to temperature changes. As for the fanless airflow system, it is placed at the bottom of the seat back and can reduce the body temperature by 2-5 degrees Celsius through cool air in a dry environment, or it can generate hot air around 30 degrees. The airflow system is also claimed to operate silently.
Currently, Project Arielle is still in the concept design stage, and it has not yet been confirmed whether it will be able to be put on the market as a formal product.
New Chroma RGB lighting effect monitor stand
The screen stand accessories displayed simultaneously this time are made of anodized aluminum and designed with a black matte surface. They can support a screen weight of approximately 20 kilograms, which should not pose a problem for screens of generally not too large size.
Unsurprisingly, Fancypants also features Chroma RGB lighting effects, and can customize different lighting methods, link with other Chroma RGB lighting-supporting devices, and even control the RGB lighting operation mode through a button on the monitor frame. This button can also be assigned through software to corresponding operations such as opening specific applications or turning off PC audio.
It provides a USB-C port for connecting to a PC, as well as USB-A, USB-C and HDMI connection specifications that can be used as a hub. The space under the screen stand allows users to store items such as keyboards, making the desktop tidier.
Demonstrated the game assistant service Project AVA and the Remote Play App that allows mobile phones to stream PC games
Razer also showcased its concept for a digital assistant service specifically designed for gaming applications, dubbed Project AVA. By integrating artificial intelligence with online communities and gaming databases, it can offer suggestions based on player behavior or provide expert insights into esports players' performance. Project AVA can also optimize the game and hardware environment for smoother gameplay.
Project AVA will be available as a beta version and is currently available for pre-registration through Razer's official website.
In addition, Razer has also launched a mobile app called PC Remote Play. When used with Razer's mobile controllers ishi Ultra or Kishi V2, you can play PC-installed game content on your phone via wireless streaming through the Nexus App.
Other exhibits include Razer's HyperBoost technology, which allows Blade gaming laptops to be paired with laptop cooling racks that optimize cooling efficiency. Specifically for mobile gaming, the company also introduced a mobile phone stand accessory that combines external monitor support, USB connection expansion, and 100W charging power, and also supports Chroma RGB lighting effects.
In addition, Razer also showcased its new Aether vertical light bar that can create different gaming atmospheres, and the new gaming chair Iskur V2 X. It also boasted about its gaming immersion ecosystem created by using Chroma RGB lighting effects, Sensa HD Haptics vibration tactile technology, and THX Spatial Audio audio technology.
