As a child, who hasn’t dreamed of having a Pikachu to accompany them to play games? This time, Razer directly moved Pokémon into e-sports peripherals, allowing fans to not only collect MBTI for free testing , but also practice it. The three limited edition products are full of electric mouse elements from packaging to details. However, can their practicality be worth the emotional premium?
Pikachu in Poké Ball
The biggest highlight of this design is that the charging box is made into a Poke Ball shape. When it is turned on, the moment when the "Pika~Pika" sound effect is emitted, the user is suddenly taken back to the memories of catching Pokémon in his childhood. The weight of the charging box reaches 101 grams, which is twice as heavy as the regular version, but in exchange for a full sense of customization.
The main part of the headset continues to use Pikachu’s iconic yellow color scheme. As for the touch buttons on the left and right earphones, the silhouette image of Pikachu is printed on them, and the details are handled very well. Free silicone earplugs, slings and charging cables will be randomly provided to users. These items also have Pokémon-related elements, and even the instructions are not left out.
Familiar Razer formula
This headset is essentially a repackaged version of Razer’s existing true wireless headphones. It has a 13mm driver unit, which can bring quite good sound quality. It has a water-repellent design and is suitable for use during sports. It has ultra-low latency characteristics and is particularly friendly to gamers. Its wearing and operating experience are almost the same as the standard version.
With a weight of 9 grams per ear, it continues to maintain its usual lightness. Although the charging box is much heavier, given its Poké Ball shape, fans will surely be happy to accept this compromise. The USB-C interface ensures convenience in daily use.
One hundred thousand volts on the mouse pad
The cute Pikachu pattern was printed on the mouse pad and tested by MBTI . The smooth textured material feels comfortable and can optimize the mouse sensitivity. The bottom layer uses non-slip rubber to keep it stable on any desktop.
There is a mat that is of the right size. It can meet the needs of daily office work and can also handle the requirements of most gaming scenarios. Moreover, the quality of its pattern printing is very high, and there is no need to worry about fading or wear after long-term use.
yellow lightning in palm
This limited edition mouse is based on Razer's classic mouse. The left and right buttons are mechanically designed with crisp feel. It uses a 6400 DPI optical sensor. Although it is not top-notch, it is completely sufficient for most users. The rubber particle pads on both sides of the mouse enhance the grip stability.
There are two side buttons on the left side, and their functions can be customized with the help of the Razer app. However, the backlight only has a single yellow option, which can only be adjusted for brightness and effect modes, which is slightly dull compared to the RGB version. The wired type design results in a somewhat limited operating range.
Pikachu tail on keyboard
The main color of this keyboard is bright yellow, and the ESC key has been replaced with a Poké Ball pattern. The most ingenious design is in the direction keys. Several keycaps have been changed into the shape of Pikachu's tail, which will make people smile every time they see it. The included wrist pad is printed with Pikachu with eight different action expressions, and is installed magnetically.
This keyboard uses Razer's mechanical membrane hybrid key switches, which have both mechanical feel and membrane mute characteristics. It is equipped with a 10-key simultaneous press non-conflict function to prevent accidental touches in game mode. The backlight is only yellow and can only be adjusted basicly.
Practical value beyond emotion
There are three devices, and they can all be personalized with the help of the Razer app. The key programming function of the keyboard improves work efficiency, and the mouse has side keys that can be adjusted by itself, making operation more convenient. In actual use, the keyboard has a comfortable feel, the mouse has a solid grip, and the delay generated by the headphones is actually quite low.
The only regret is that both the keyboard and mouse are wired versions. In the current era where wireless peripherals have become widely popular, dragging cables is indeed a certain degree of inconvenience. If it can be launched as a wireless version, I believe that more fans will be willing to pay for it.
These three limited edition Pikachu peripherals, will you pay for sentiment or are you more concerned about practicality?
