The new Razer Kraken Kitty V2 Gengar Edition Headset.
Razer has expanded its collection of Pokémon-themed gaming accessories with a new version of its Razer Kraken Kitty V2 wired headset. This time, the design is inspired by the popular Ghost-type Pokémon, Gengar. The Razer Kraken Kitty V2 Gengar Edition, initially released a few months ago in China, is now available globally. It features a unique purple color scheme and a headband adorned with Gengar`s recognizable ears and spikes. Functionally, this version is identical to the standard Kraken Kitty V2, supporting USB Type-A connectivity for PCs and other devices. This new release is expected to be highly popular, so it`s advisable to purchase it promptly.
As previously mentioned, the new Razer Kraken Kitty V2 Gengar Edition retains all the core features of the base model but boasts a completely redesigned Gengar-themed aesthetic. This includes a new multi-tone purple color scheme, decorative Gengar ear pieces on the headband, and RGB-lit rings with Gengar decals on the exterior of the earcups. The RGB lighting elements are compatible with the Razer Chroma desktop application, allowing users to customize colors and create dynamic effects that respond to gameplay.
Similar to other models in this series, the Kraken Kitty V2 Gengar Edition features Razer`s proprietary 40mm TriForce audio drivers and a HyperClear Cardioid microphone. It also supports 7.1 virtual surround sound on PC (requiring Windows 10 or higher). The headband and earcups are crafted from hybrid materials—fabric and leatherette cushioning—providing passive noise isolation for a more immersive audio experience. While Windows PC users will benefit from the fullest feature set, the headset can also connect via wired USB-A to various other devices, including consoles, Mac computers, and more. This implies that Switch and Switch 2 players planning to get the headset before the release of Pokemon Legends: Z-A will be able to use it with their consoles in docked mode.
The release of the Razer Kraken Kitty V2 Gengar Edition headset occurred just a few weeks after Razer`s extensive Pokémon collection launched last month. This collection included gaming mice, mechanical keyboards, headsets, and various other accessories, all featuring unique designs of Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle. Surprisingly, despite the usual rapid sell-out of Pokémon-themed merchandise, the entire Razer X Pokémon lineup remains available on Amazon.
Upcoming Pokémon Legends: Z-A
As noted earlier, the next major Pokémon console game, Pokemon Legends: Z-A, is set to launch for Switch and Switch 2 on October 16, with pre-orders already open for both versions. Pre-ordering from Best Buy includes a bonus oversized mouse pad, while Walmart pre-orders offer an exclusive enamel pin set featuring the game`s starter Pokémon: Chicorita, Totodile, and Tepig. Pre-orders are also available on Amazon, albeit without any additional bonuses. In addition to the physical game copies, Nintendo is also releasing a new Switch 2 bundle, which includes the console and a digital copy of Pokemon Legends: Z-A, both launching on the same day. For more details, it`s advisable to consult the Pokemon Legends: Z-A pre-order guide.
