Razer has never been afraid to try something a little wacky with its trade show concepts. But the gaming hardware specialist has come up with something truly unique for this year’s CES. Project Arielle is the world’s first gaming chair with built-in heating and cooling, so you always play at the most comfortable temperature.
The built-in fan system uses a bladeless design to control noise and make cleaning easier. It has three cooling speeds, which can reduce the temperature perceived by the person seated by between two and five degrees Celsius. Or if you’re feeling cold, you can turn on the heating element to warm things up to a perceived temperature of 30 degrees Celsius.
A touch control panel on the side of the seat makes adjustments on the fly easy. When you switch from hot to cold, the edges of the chair light up blue or orange – because you just know Razer couldn’t launch a concept product without at least some Chroma RGB on board. It’s based on Razer’s existing Fujin Pro chair. , which has a more desktop-inspired design than the racing buckets favored by gamers and streamers. The seat and back are made of mesh rather than fabric or leather, for maximum breathability and comfort. This will also help air flow over your butt and back. It has all the adjustability of the Fujin Pro, with the new hardware located on the back.
Without a bulky built-in battery, the concept needs to be plugged into the mains to be able to heat or blow cold – but it has the same quick-release connection system as the Freyja Haptic Gaming Pad to prevent the cable becoming a tripping hazard .
The Arielle project is only a concept for now, so we don’t know if, let alone when, a commercial version will arrive. But Razer’s concepts tend to become reality, so I bet this won’t be the last you hear about them.
If you can’t wait that long, you’ll want to take a look at the new Iskur V2 X also announced at this year’s CES. A more common version of Razer’s lumbar-adaptive gaming chair, the V2 X features a fixed lumbar curve. The armrests have 2D adjustment instead of the V2’s 4D, and the whole thing is wrapped in fabric instead of leather. It launched worldwide today and will cost you $300.
