Razer BlackShark V3 Pro Review: The Sweatiest Gamers Will Love This Headset

2025 “The best” of anything is already a misnomer, but throw “pro” into the mix, as so many gamer peripherals tend to, and we’re staring down the barrel of hyperbole. Which brings us to the Razer BlackShark V3 Pro, a gaming headset that Razer claims epitomizes low-latency sound for high-performance gaming, where hearing a footstep or missing your teammate’s callout is the difference between triumph and rage-inducing defeat.

Razer Pro Click V2 Vertical Review: A Hybrid Gaming Mouse

Switching to a vertical mouse is a hard sell. Having to change how you use a mouse completely can be an intimidating task, especially with how unnatural the new hand position feels at first—you’re going entirely against the muscle memory you’ve spent years building up.

Razer’s new Pokémon collab is not very effective

Razer’s new Pokémon collaboration is a missed opportunity. The four PC gaming peripherals in this lineup are simply reskinned versions of products that already exist, and which cost $20 to $40 more than their all-black counterparts. You really should be getting more for your money here. For example, the themed BlackWidow V4 X keyboard should include at least one highly detailed custom keycap (switching out Alt for pokéball designs doesn’t cut it). Maybe the Kraken V4 X headset could have includ
