Razer launches the Freyja gaming pillow , which you can place on your chair for a more immersive gaming experience .
The pillow costs $299.99 (~€357) and is available for purchase.
Freyja expands the vibration sensation you get from gaming controllers. Rather than being limited to just your hands, Freyja features multiple panels that vibrate behind and below you, enhancing your gaming experience in line with what's happening in the game.

Razer says the pad's feedback comes from "multi-directional haptics powered by six advanced haptic motor actuators." It connects via Bluetooth or Razer's HyperSpeed wireless technology
Vibration will often be carried over from sound, whether you're playing a game, listening to music, or watching movies. Razer has cited games like Final Fantasy 16, Silent Hill 2, and Stalker 2 as examples that incorporate Razer Sensa HD technology that powers the haptic effects.
Razer showed off a version of the Freyja at CES, where the vibration impressed The Verge’s Sean Hollister during a demo. At the time, it was unclear whether the product would ever be released, but now it’s a reality.

Additionally, the company has also launched the Kraken V4 Pro, a new version of the Kraken V4 headset that offers haptic feedback. Like the pad, the V4 Pro uses Razer HyperSpeed technology and Bluetooth, as well as wired USB or 3.5mm connections.
The V4 Pro comes with a small box, the OLED Control Hub, that lets you adjust the vibration, select your input, or adjust the effects (the headphones feature RGB lights). The Razer V4 Pro costs $399.99 (€449.99), and pre-orders for the Freyja and V4 Pro are expected to start on October 7th.
