In a nostalgic nod to the past, Razer has reintroduced the translucent aesthetic that once captivated tech enthusiasts. This revival is epitomized in the newly launched Razer Phantom Green Collection, which features a striking lineup of gaming gear designed to elevate any setup. Alongside this collection, Razer has also unveiled a sleek white variant, but the focus here is on the vibrant green offerings currently gracing my desk.
Razer Basilisk V3 Pro 35K Phantom Green Edition
At the heart of this collection lies the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro 35K, a mouse that stands out not just for its performance but also for its captivating design. While it may not be Razer’s most iconic model, the Basilisk V3 Pro 35K shines with its translucent green casing, allowing the RGB lighting to illuminate the intricate features within. The glow from the base and scroll wheel creates a mesmerizing effect, showcasing the mouse’s internal mechanisms.
This mouse retains all the functionality of the standard Basilisk V3 Pro 35K, including a versatile scroll wheel that toggles between smooth and notched scrolling, along with additional buttons for enhanced usability. Priced at 9.99 in the US and £169.99 in the UK, it offers a unique blend of style and practicality for both gamers and professionals alike.
Razer Firefly V2 Pro Phantom Green Edition
The Razer Firefly V2 Pro adds a touch of flair to your gaming experience with its RGB-illuminated surface. While the concept of a glowing mouse pad may seem unconventional, it proves to be a functional addition for those who prefer a hard surface. The RGB lighting not only enhances the aesthetic but can also be synchronized with other Razer devices when connected to a PC.
One notable feature is the integrated USB-A socket, allowing users to connect their mouse’s dongle directly to the mouse pad, reducing desk clutter. However, the translucent green design is limited to the back edge of the pad, which may not fully showcase the lighting effects. Available for 9.99 in the US and £109.99 in the UK, it complements the Basilisk mouse beautifully.
Razer BlackWidow V4 75% Phantom Green Edition
The standout piece of the Phantom Green Collection is undoubtedly the Razer BlackWidow V4 75%. Crafted entirely from translucent green materials, this keyboard makes a bold statement. The design allows for a unique view of the keycap mounts, reminiscent of a high-tech gadget.
Despite its eye-catching appearance, the BlackWidow V4 75% excels in performance, offering customizable switches and a compact layout that makes it a top choice among gaming keyboards. Priced at 9.99 in the US and £169.99 in the UK, it delivers reliability and style in equal measure.
Razer Barracuda X Chroma Phantom Green Edition
For those looking to make a striking impression while streaming, the Razer Barracuda X Chroma is an excellent choice. The prominent translucent green design, coupled with an RGB lighting ring on each earcup, ensures that this headset stands out on camera. The customizable lighting can be controlled via Razer’s mobile app, adding convenience for users on the go.
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the Barracuda X Chroma maintains the high sound quality and sleek design that Razer is known for. Available for 9.99 in the US and £109.99 in the UK, it seamlessly blends style with functionality.
While the Phantom Green Collection offers a fun retro vibe, it may not resonate with everyone. Comparatively, Razer’s previous collections, such as the Pokémon and Minecraft kits, exuded a more whimsical charm. The white variant of this collection may provide a more striking visual contrast, allowing for better visibility of internal components without the RGB lighting overshadowing the design. Regardless, the quality of the gear remains unquestionable for those who appreciate this unique aesthetic.
