With its newest Phantom Collection, Razer removes the layers and becomes more dramatic than it has ever been. This isnt just another colorway; its bold action towards a semi-transparent design that puts the inner workings of favorite peripherals on display, all while allowing that glorious Chroma RGB lighting truly pop.
Forget opaque shells and start talking about the Basilisk V3 Pro 35K mouse, BlackWidow V4 75% keyboard, and Barracuda X Chroma headset, which are all getting the Phantom treatment. With this aesthetic choice, internal components become part of the visual appeal. Get ready for the "Phantom Green" versions, to be launched soon at Razer.com and select stores.
One is the coolest factor in the see-through styling, as it enhances Razers dynamic Chroma RGB lighting. Your new setup is about to look a lot more lively.
Leading the charge is the Basilisk V3 Pro 35K wireless gaming mouse, priced around $169.99. With a new translucent shell, it presents the tech to display inside - especially its Focus Pro 35K optical sensor. It is a tad larger than some esports mice which makes it very much definable atop a desk. And to complete the look, Razer will also be introducing a see-through Firefly V2 Pro mousepad boasting 15 lighting zones for an ultimate glowing finish.
This is the BlackWidow V4 75% wired keyboard, which costs $199.99. Thats some expensive real estate for a wired keyboard that is, quite frankly, one of Razers most customizable yet. You can even swap out the standard Orange Tactile mechanical switches for your preferred feel. Of course, the most striking element here are the partly-clear ABS keycaps which, layered up with per-key RGB effects, create a very impressive visual experience.
Finally, we have the Barracuda X Chroma headset. Retailing at $139.99, it is lightweight and geared towards mobile gaming, dual-connectivity capabilities with Bluetooth and HyperSpeed RF. RGB on a headset may not be most visible to the end-user in all instances, the six-zone Chroma display now made more visible thanks to the transparent earcups, makes it perfect for streamers who want to add some flair to their on-camera look.
It is true Although not branded as hot recently, the trend toward the translucency of tech has passed, so the Phantom Collection is quite an unconventional and refreshing choice. If see-through isnt your thing, however, keep in mind that some very popular peripherals will still come clad in the traditional black-and-white designs from Razer.
However, for the gamers looking for unique aesthetics who really want to turn their RGBs loose, the Razer Phantom Collection is worth a warrant.
