This part is critical, as it's the component that makes a seal around your face, protecting you from the virus and others from getting anything you may be carrying. That's surprising, because I have a big head! But I also found that the strings could move around throughout the day, requiring readjustment.īut the silicone face guard was another story. It took me a while to find the optimal fit, but that part was largely comfortable, even after hours of wear. The one on the top rests on the back of your head, slightly above your ear line, and can be tightened with a pull string. The one on the bottom rests at the nape of your neck and can be tightened by pulling the top strap up. Both go over your head when you put it on. The mask is secured to your head via two straps. In addition, there’s more lighting in the mask, which can light up your mouth, making your facial expressions more clear in the dark - or just make them green, purple, red, or any other color. Each one has an RGB strip around it that can be customized via a mobile app. It's bad enough we're in a pandemic, so I'm not sure we needed to go apocalypse chic with the masks.
But glowing and whirring aggressively at the intersection of both these phenomena, while also being sold at highly inflated prices by scalpers just like graphics cards or consoles, the Razer Zephyr face mask feels like the product of our human moment if ever there was one.
And, for better or worse, the same can be said for the most extreme elements of gamer culture permeating our lives.
Only time will tell whether the pandemic and its lessons are here to stay. Fans are blowing filtered air towards my face. I have N95-level protection around my nose and mouth, and also RGB lighting. Like most of Razer's concepts, many thought it would never officially arrive. When Razer announced "Project Hazel" at CES 2021, the idea of a gaming-grade face mask went viral. Wearing a face mask? On the subway? In the grocery store? Me? Everyone?īut nearly two years into a global pandemic, I'm used to that. Two years ago, the first part of that sentence would have seemed crazy enough.
