If this active ventilation brings cool air in, and expels hot air, then I'm definitely in. I also love how it molds to the face, should really help glasses users with fogging issues - especially if you're like me, where my glasses constantly fog up coming inside from the winter cold.

I just want an actively filtered n95 mask that's comfortable to wear.
Why do they have to stuff it full of leds and make it transparent? I know LG also has an active mask, but theirs isnt N95 certified.

It seems really cool and functional.

The mic is amazing because I can never hear people when I'm working at my part-time job. They mumble on top of the plexi partition and background noise. More people need something like that.

I actually love this. It's so pointless but wild.

I love that Razer does the most random stuff

These things actually go a long way in solving various accessibility design problems but I think the price of this is bound to put it out of reach of those who would need it most, should it even make it to market. It seems like a concept product though.

Yeah. I get the usefulness, but a mask from razer, I was just waiting for the video to start dropping in features that make it expensive.

You can probably turn the LEDs off and cover up the transparent shield with a dbrand skin. Use creator code "metha15" to get 15% off official dbrand mask skins. Don't forget to like and subscribe.

Like some smarter users have mentioned, the features here (transparent, mic and amp) are super great for accessibility and really there should've been a push by a big company earlier in the pandemic for this.

Only issue here though is that it's Razor so like, it'll be INSANELY expensive for what it is. Just hope another company do a similar thing at actual decent prices.

Also, RGB might be a needless and superfluous feature, I don't know how useful it'll be but it's a gaming PC staple so it has to be here.

Ignoring Razer and muh RGB....

I was just talking to my wife last night telling her how amazed I was that there hasn't been some fancy expensive masks released over the past year. I know there were stupid kickstarters and whatnot, but still

Companies know that most countries probably won't adopt a lifestyle of wearing masks to not spread anything post-covid. Everyone will go back to being their old gross self.

So their long term profits probably aren't super positive looking.

I mean I could see bougie westerners wearing luxury brand masks in the future post-pandemic.
And I guarantee you if Apple made this exact mask it'd be on back order

If it had no RGB I would be all over it. I see more and more designs like this. Ive been using the Gatapack which is KN95. I love the way it similarly seals with silicon and only has a space for air which goes through the filter. Made fogging of glasses dissapear and unlike other masks it has a great seal. I think having a high quality mask like this is great because this won't be the last time we'll probably need them.

Is it weird that I really want one of these...
I'd use this as my main mask seriously. Would turn off the RGB when I don't need it and it looks so good

looks like you could use it for a cheap bane cosplay. Wonder if you could install voice mods into it lol

From 'quake area to big OH.
Covering social queues is a plus of minus for some people. My last service job had interactions with guests that were deaf, which sometimes created difficulties due to covered lips. We tried sharing notes.

The RGB is embarrassing.

Hey, at least they're making a useful product and it does look cool; definitely unexpected but, in a good way.

Definitely gives off EXOTIC Division 2 gear vibes too.

As long as the RGB matches my keyboard so I know what macros I'm hitting. Maybe gyro support and haptic feedback. Also, hope they add a /pizza in the next firmware release.

Some of the ideas in there are cool, but I don't see a strap that goes around your head to save your ears from bearing the weight of the whole thing.

It constantly amuses me how many people on here are so against Razer and other gaming peripheral companies.

I think this looks awesome. Could do with less lights or colours, but otherwise I love that it has auto sterilisation, a see through window and is N95. I think it's perfect for those who work in hospitality or services and speak to customers etc regularly. If it's reasonably priced I'll pick one up.

I have unironically been waiting for an RGB face mask and this actually looks pretty great.

My two concerns:

1. Price

2. I thought vented masks help protect the wearer but not other people? Is that fixed with the n95 filter?

Too too long to create this. Also it's fucking stupid.

you realize you still have to wear a mask after the vaccine right? We still don't know if the vaccine just masks symptoms or prevents a more intense version of the virus, hence why they say you can still be contagious and have it after the vaccine
