Razer has released the Hammerhead V3 Chroma, a pair of wired earbuds using USB-C with a 90-degree connector instead of Bluetooth. They feature 11mm drivers, 6mm tweeters, active noise cancellation, an in-line remote, IPX4 water resistance, and customizable RGB lighting, and are available now for $79.99 with a two-year warranty.
Razer has unveiled the Raiju V3 Pro Signature Edition, a premium PS5 controller with a see-through magnesium alloy shell, laser-etched glass touchpad, contactless TMR thumbsticks and six mappable buttons. It weighs 260 grams, supports up to 2,000Hz wireless polling for PC use, and ships with extras like a carrying case, swappable thumbstick caps and repair tools. Razer will produce only 1,337 units, releasing on November 10 with pricing still unannounced.
Bastian Recha, known online as Unskilledcast, posted a demo on X of Mausstudio, software that imports an STL file of a mouse PCB and automatically detects button switches, scroll wheel, sensor, and screw hole locations to build a custom printable shell around them. Recha says the tool runs entirely locally using mathematical algorithms rather than AI, and is still a work in progress. The demo used PCBs from a Razer Viper V2 Pro and a Zaunkoenig M2K, and showed adjustable dimensions, hump placement, weight-reducing cutouts, and a customizable battery shelf.
Razer's reviewed Blade 18 configuration packs an Nvidia RTX 5090 mobile GPU (24GB, 175W), a 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus CPU, 32GB of DDR5-6400 RAM, a 2TB SSD, a 99Wh battery, and a dual-mode 240Hz/440Hz IPS display. The unit costs $5,400 and weighs just over 7 pounds, with a CNC-milled aluminum chassis measuring 15.74 x 10.84 x 1.10 inches. The reviewer compares it directly to the Lenovo Legion 9i Gen 10, another high-end 18-inch desktop-replacement laptop.
