Razer Unveils Next-Level Gaming Chairs: Experience Comfort in Every Temperature!

Razer is showcasing a prototype of a novel gaming chair designed to prevent overheating during intense gaming experiences.

Revealed at CES 2025, the Project Arielle gaming chair includes built-in cooling and heating systems, which the company asserts can lower or elevate the “perceived” temperature by up to five degrees Celsius.

The chair replicates the mesh structure of the company’s Fujin Pro, which is currently available for purchase. However, the prototype incorporates a fan unit situated underneath the seat, serving dual functions as both a cooler and a heater.

In my brief evaluations of the chair within a sweltering Razer demo suite, the cooling feature quickly had a significant effect on my body temperature. A gentle breeze could be felt against my back as the fans activated, certainly enhancing comfort within the crowded demo environment.

Similarly, the heating feature provided immediate warmth, reminiscent of heated seats available in vehicles. The warmth appeared concentrated around the mid-back region, but as the fans continued blowing, you could perceive it radiating outward.

Being Razer, the company was unlikely to overlook the chance to add a touch of RGB flair to the chair. As a result, an LED strip encircling the edge of the chair’s back shines green when in cooling mode and turns red when the heater is activated. A small touch panel located on the right side of the seat controls the fans.

Clearly, the addition of fans to a gaming chair necessitates power, which indicates a trailing cable connected to the chair. Razer claims it features a quick-release connector, suggesting that the cord should remain undamaged if it is tugged from the wall while relocating the chair.

The chair certainly possessed the look of a finalized product, hinting that this is not merely a headline-catching demonstration but a legitimate product in development.

A Razer representative remarked that the company has a track record of swiftly transforming CES prototypes into market-ready products, making this one to keep an eye on if you tend to get uncomfortably hot during gaming sessions… or if your gaming room is particularly cold.
