FULL STORY ======================================================================Razer has unveiled new chair designs at CES 2025 This includes the budget-oriented Razer Iskur X in addition to Project Arielle Project Arielle is a mesh gaming chair with inbuilt heating and cooling technology

Hardware manufacturer Razer has unveiled a suite of new products at CES 2025
, including a more budget-friendly version of the brilliant Razer Iskur V2 gaming chair and the absolutely absurd Project Arielle.

The Razer Iskur V2 X will retail for $299.99 (around 244) and retains the
same in-built lumbar support system and high-density foam cushions of the original Razer Iskur V2. This is on top of the same 152 degree recline, plus
a similar overall form factor.

The main differences between the two models are that the cheaper chair features 2D armrests (rather than the 4D of the Razer Iskur V2), a different upholstery material, and its own mechanism. A removable head pillow is also not included in the box with the Razer Iskur V2 X, and the chair is also only available in black.

Given the over $350 price difference between the two, the Iskur X certainly seems like a pretty good value proposition despite its reduced feature set.

The Razer Iksur X wasnt the only chair shown off on the show floor, however, as Razer also unveiled Project Arielle. Based on the fantastic Razer Fujin
Pro , the brand describes Project Arielle as the worlds first mesh gaming chair to feature integrated heating and cooling.

It features an integrated bladeless fan system, which delivers cool air
across your body while you play. You can adjust the fan speeds with up to three levels, which can allegedly reduce the perceived temperature by 2C to
5C in dry environments.

Thats not all, as Project Arielle is also equipped with its own built-in heating system. These can deliver a warm breeze up to 30C, which honestly sound pretty tempting now that the freezing winter weather has arrived.

Although CES 2025 attendees are able to go hands-on with the chair, Project Arielle remains a proof of concept for now with no official word on a release date or price. If youre after a climate controlled seat, however, budget
brand Autofull has you covered with a chair equipped with cooling fans to
stop you becoming hot and sticky while you play . You may also like... I always thought the DualSense Edge was too expensive to recommend, and now
