Razer’s RGB-powered facial mask finally has a price: The Zephyr will retail for $99.99.
If you’re interested, Razer plans on selling the first units at 8 p.m. PST / 11 p.m. ET today on the company’s website. If you miss that, the same page also contains an email sign-up for more info.
The $99.99 price includes three N95-grade filters, which have each been designed to last for three days. The company is also going to be selling a 10-pack of replaceable filters for $29.99
The 0.45-pound product may look over the top, but Razer says fans asked the company to make the mask real after it initially debuted as a concept device during CES. Originally called Project Hazel, the mask is designed to filter out 99% of bacterial and viral particles.
“You can actually breathe comfortably with the Razer Zephyr. However, we didn’t just design it for normal use,” CEO Min-Liang Tan said on Thursday during the company's annual Razercon event. “We also added in fans.”
These fans operate over a low or high speed, and can funnel more air into the mask if you’re exercising or playing a sport. The other feature is how the Zephyr is built with a see-through area at the mouth, so people can see your facial expressions. “And over and above, it’s anti-fog, which means if you breathe, it’s not going to fog up, or fog up your glasses,” Tan added.
Along with the RGB lights, Razer added interior lighting in the mask, enabling people to see your face in the night. The mask charges via a USB-C cable. Expect the Zephyr to run up to four hours when the fans are activated at high speed, and eight hours on low speed if the Chroma RGB lighting is disabled.
The Zephyr product is also designed to be washable, unlike many disposable masks. But you’ll have to buy new filters to get optimal protection.
