Razer Thresher and Raiju Ultimate Hands-on: Splendid gaming combo

Badass gaming accessories

Published

December 6, 2018

If there’s one thing Razer is really good at, it’s making gaming accessories that are both stylish and edgy. The Razer Thresher headset as well as the Raiju Ultimate controller for the PlayStation 4 (PS4) are primary examples of this.

Headset you can wear for hours

At first glance, the Razer Thresher looks like it would weigh heavily on your head. This is not the case. Despite its bulky exterior, this headset is lightweight and extremely comfortable.

The four-inch earcups cover a good portion of your ears and it feels like a headset you can wear for hours. It neither feels too tight nor to loose.

Setup is pretty straight forward, too. Simply plug the accompanying USB stick to the PS4’s USB port, turn on the headset, and it should work with no hiccups.

Immersive audio

Audio quality is right about what you’d expect from a US$ 150 headset. The earcups lend nicely to making the sound feel immersive as you game. When I played Marvel’s Spider-Man with these on, it almost felt like it was me swinging around New York with how much of the environment I could hear.

This headset also has a mouthpiece that’s perfect for co-op games, but since I don’t really play those kinds of games, I wasn’t able to try the headset in that setting. It does record good audio though, so you can opt to use it for that.

Although it’s labeled as an accessory for the PS4, it will work with any device that has a USB port. I used the headset on my MacBook Pro and it worked just fine.

Feels drastically different from the DualShock 4

At first glance, you would even think that the Raiju Ultimate controller was made for the Xbox One. It bears so much resemblance to that console’s controller which is why I felt a little iffy using it.

Most of my console gaming has been spent wielding DualShock controllers. I did try the Xbox but my personal preference is still the controllers bundled with the PlayStation consoles through the years.

That said, I didn’t completely hate the Raiju Ultimate experience. I did have trouble playing NBA 2K19 because the buttons weren’t responding the way they usually would on a regular DualShock 4 controller. This had a significant effect on my game as I wasn’t knocking down the shots I normally would.

The Raiju Ultimate controller comes with a sleek carrying case

Using the Raiju Ultimate led to a close game and a loss against Marvin. We played twice more but I shifted back to the DualShock 4 and proceeded to dominate him on NBA 2K19 like I normally do. (Editor’s note: “Dominate” is such a strong word.)

It comes with an app

The Raiju Ultimate also comes with an app to customize the extra four shoulder buttons. It has four presets to choose from: Sports, Shooter, Fighting, and Racing.

Instead of using the Sports the preset, I tried the other ones but still got the same result. This wasn’t the case when I played Marvel’s Spider-Man. In fact, it was pretty fluid and the shoulder buttons which you end up using a lot in this game responded seamlessly.

If you want a little bit more of customization, you can add a profile and assign specific functions for each shoulder button depending on the game you’re playing. I imagine it being helpful in games wherein you’re asked to press two buttons at the same time. You can just assign those to buttons to a single shoulder button — pretty handy.

Perfect tandem?

While I did have some trouble with the Raiju Ultimate, that was only in one game. Granted it’s probably the game I play the most, I didn’t have the same troubles in other games.

I had a blast playing Marvel’s Spider-Man using this combo. The game felt a lot closer than when I first played it thanks to the Razer Thresher, and the mechanical feel of the Raiju Ultimate really grows on you as you play.

This pair probably isn’t for everyone but if you want a little boost for your gaming experience, I wouldn’t think twice about copping these.

New SIHOO Doro C300 ergonomic chair launches with deals on Amazon

Now available in the US, UK

GadgetMatch

The SIHOO Doro C300 ergonomic office chair has been unveiled in the United States and United Kingdom with deals on Amazon and the SIHOO website available.

The chair is available in Black and Gray for an introductory price of US$ 279.99 / £ 259.99 on the SIHOO website.

That’s a significant reduction from the regular retail pricing of US$ 559.99 / £ 339.99. In addition, customers can get the product from Amazon US or Amazon UK for US$ 279.99 / £ 279.99.

The Doro C300 is developed around SIHOO’s self-adaptive dynamic lumbar support system. It automatically tracks body movement and continuously aligns with the natural curve of the spine without manual adjustment.

It uses the brand’s BM Tracking System to respond instantly to twisting, leaning, and reclining. This ensures consistent lower back support and stability, regardless of posture or position.

The real-time adaptive support moves in sync with the user. This dynamic approach helps reduce pressure on the lower back and promotes proper spinal alignment in the process.

The chair also features a flexible and fully breathable mesh backrest, built around a triangular elastic support frame. It naturally conforms to the body and moves side to side.

Moreover, a smart weight-sensing mechanism with integrated spring system automatically adapts reclining resistance based on the user’s weight.

The Doro C300 can support 110°, 120°, and 130° recline angles. On the top part is a neck and head support with extra-large 3D mechanical headrest. This, too, adjusts precisely in multiple directions and locks securely in place.

Furthermore, 4D armrests with soft PU padding adjust in multiple directions and synchronize with the backrest as it reclines for consistency.

Onto its seat cushion, the Doro C300’s seat is engineered to distribute pressure evenly across thighs and hips.

Sony WF-1000XM6 is out now: Price, availability

The new model features better noise cancellation and a redesign.

Published

February 12, 2026

Luigi Leonardo

Well, the rumors are true. After briefly showing up in a leak last month, the new Sony WF-1000XM6 is finally here. Sony is launching its latest wireless earbuds today, alongside the debut of a pink colorway option for last year’s WH-1000XM6.

But first, here’s the Sony WF-1000XM6.

Once again, Sony is improving on the lineup’s noise cancellation technology. The earbuds will pack a third-generation QN3e, the brand’s HD Noise Cancelling Processor. The processor can supposedly achieve a 25 percent better noise reduction, compared to the previous generation. Each earbud will also have four microphones to further bolster noise cancellation.

As the leaks hinted previously, the Sony WF-1000XM6 features a redesign for the popular wireless earbuds series. The earbuds themselves are now more pill-shaped and are returning to a matte texture. The brand says that the redesign will help with noise cancellation, comfort, and stability.

Meanwhile, the charging case switches over from a pill-shaped design to a sharper one.

Like its predecessors, the earbuds will boast studio quality design. Calling functionality, likewise, will get a boost, thanks to a bone conduction sensor, two microphones for AI beamforming, and AI-based noise cancellation to isolate voices from background noise.

The Sony WF-1000XM6 debuts today with two colorway options: Platinum Silver and Black. Both variants will sell for US$ 329.99.

If that’s not enough, the Sony WH-1000XM6, the lineup’s larger sibling, will debut a Sand Pink colorway option. The new model will carry the same price tag: US$ 459.99. However, interested buyers can enjoy an initial sale price of US$ 399.99 through February 15.

UPDATE: Singapore price and availability

The WF-1000XM6 in Black and Platinum Silver is available in Singapore from early March 2026 with a suggested retail pricing at SGD 479.

Buyers who pre-order will receive an exclusive blind box containing a specially curated set of Lanyard and Pouch (worth SGD79.90), upon successful product warranty registration from now to March 31, 2026, while stocks last.
