Powered by Razer HyperSense technology, the cushion converts game sounds into haptic feedback that make gamers feel like they are actually in the game themselves.

In addition, the 3D audio can be enjoyed in THX Spatial Audio Virtual Headset mode which gives pinpoint positional audio, or THX Spatial Audio Virtual Speakers mode which provides a wide, room-filling soundstage.
Razer Kiyo Pro Ultra

This outstanding image fidelity is maintained via a processor that can convert raw 4K 30 FPS or 1080P 60 FPS footage into uncompressed 4K 24 FPS, 1440p 30 FPS, or 1080p 60 FPS directly into your stream.
VR peripherals designed for Meta Quest 2
Last on the list are the two new VR accessories designed to extend VR gameplay and increase comfort for Meta Quest 2: the Razer Adjustable Head Strap System and the Razer Facial Interface.
The Adjustable Head Strap System is made with high-performance nylon material that provides reliability, comfort, and durability while the optimized weight distribution allows for more balance during active gameplay.
