The Pokémon collaboration by Razer consists of four gaming peripherals that are essentially reskinned versions of existing products, priced significantly higher. The BlackWidow V4 X keyboard and Kraken V4 X headset do not include any unique designs or features that would justify the higher cost. There is a noticeable absence of creative effort in this lineup, especially when compared to other successful collaborations. Fans expect more from a brand as vibrant as Pokémon, and past collaborations have set a standard for creativity that this lineup fails to meet.
Razer's new Pokémon collaboration is a missed opportunity, with four PC gaming peripherals being mere reskinned versions of existing products, costing $20 to $40 more than standard versions.
The BlackWidow V4 X keyboard should include a highly-detailed custom keycap instead of simply switching out the ALT key for Pokéball designs.
The Kraken V4 X headset could have featured themed pop filters showcasing Pokémon silhouettes, indicating a lack of creativity in this collaboration.
Compared to other collaborations like MSI's Toy Story-branded gaming components, Razer's latest Pokémon products lack the same effort and inspiration, despite Pokémon's rich personality.
