The boys over at Razer have released some insanely spooky merch for Pokemon enthusiasts, with gamers going crazy over the newest entries of the Gengar series. Razer took on a gigantic channel with Pokemon, releasing a Razer Cobra mouse and Razer Gigantus V2 mousepad deep in violet hues with that ghostly appeal that conjures one of the fondest feelings for a Pokemon: Gengar. Now, really, with Halloween just around the corner, I don’t think it could have been timed better.
So what exactly is in the new and so much elder brother to an always growing Pokemon collab? The Razer Cobra gaming mouse gets another coat of Gengar treatment with that weird purple hue and eerie detailing that makes you feel like an actual ghost-type is sitting there with you, on your desk, while you game. Then there is the Razer Gigantus V2 mousepad with those smooth cloth surfaces any serious gamer would drool over-well, maybe would not exactly drool, but at least gaze at-in their Gengar-themed glory. To say the least, the setup wants you to go all along for streaming and just show it off.
The hype came out from the gaming community. One gamer stated, “Gengar the GOAT,” which is Facts™, right? Another comment says: “damn ok we cooking,” that sums up the vibe perfectly. One user, @avianoir, screamed, “THEY’RE BEAUTIFUL,” and honestly, same here. That purple aesthetic? It’s hitting all the sweet notes. @TerravonRiegan dropped, “The purple setup is so real now!💜” alongside an image of his own purple gaming rig, and I have to admit: goals.
But, of course, you know how it is: such awesome collab drops always get a bickering few commenting differently, like “but what about…” Players are requesting various others, such as @TinyElfGaming for Umbreon; @SpikeFiremane for Mewtwo gear; @TepigGanda is outright demanding Tepig merch, which… let’s just say, respect for the Fire Pig in you. Then, there’s @jerrorr_ searching for that Viper V3 Pro Gengar edition; @donkminator power moves calling Razer to “do something with the DAv4” like they’re taking requests.
Some gamers are for real struggling. @NumbHD drops, “I’m broke.” Alongside came two crying emojis; and I just… same. @Sam_hek had literally the worst timing, stating, “I literally just bought a new mouse yesterday 🥲,” now that is some bad luck. And @Linkboi29274 just keeps on suffering because he lives in Canada and can’t get one, posting, “The world will always be cruel to me 💔,” and… oof.
Interesting is, how much the love gushes forth for the Gengar. @helloseashell and @avianoir had a full back-and-forth talk about Gengar merch, with one showing off a “GORGEOUS binder” they just procured, and the other melting over just how nice it is; so this isn’t about being gaming gear-per se; it’s about that Pokemon nostalgia hitting weirdly different. @zyxxofficial basically said, “This looks cool; Gengar is in my top 5 favorite Pokemon ever,” and you know they’re not alone with that thought.
“It’s even pretty cool timing,” said @Gremloblin1, “Just in time for Halloween,” which, you know, Razer really planned. @NoahKWoods1118 is already thinking ahead to the “30th anniversary of Pokémon next year on February 27th,” giving yet another clue to what strange collaborations might surface.
Then, there’s always someone that takes on the real questions- @Empire_king001 just goes, “What is this?” like maybe they’ve been living under a rock or something. And @PointlessNarrow wonders, “Why is it always Gengar,” which is actually a valid question. Then, in comes @Marshmellowart_ with, “Gengar fan kept winning!” with fire emojis, and they sure aren’t lying-Gengar does get quite a lot of merch love.
Look at it like a high-grade product. @ReviewTechGear (which kind of seemed like a tech scanning AI account?) remarked on the “smooth cloth surface” being a “gamer’s dream,” so it’s not just about looking good; it’s about performing well-contrary to what @Spartan_Duncan pointed out, “If only I could use the headset on my Xbox Series X…” That’s a valid complaint from a console gamer.
What makes the release hit so much more are the local grounds. They’re not just any other gaming peripherals; instead, there’s a nostalgic touch of childhood and some serious gaming gear that just knows how to play a mix. Comments are filled with habitual users sharing their own Gengar merch, talking about their favorite Pokemon, and geeking out about it all. Even the guys complaining about being broke or the wrong country do that with as much energy as if to say “I wish I could have this;” it’s never genuine negativity.
That just keeps these Pokemon collaborations alive from Razer, and this Gengar leg-up just proves that off the beaten path, they never had any plans to slow down. Available now at their website, by reaction alone, it’s going to sell out extraordinarily fast. This is something to really check into, whether you’re a hardcore Gengar fan, a Razer loyalist, or just an appreciator of some seriously cool gaming gear. Just perhaps don’t look in your bank account afterwards…because yeah, gaming merch hurts.
So yeah, Razer is out here giving gaming a little spooky makeover and a lot of purple, and honestly? We’re here for it. The Gengar love is real; the gear looks sick, and the community response is off the charts with positivity. Now.excus.e me; I need to try and justify another mouse purchase purely because it’s purple and has a ghost Pokemon on it…
