Razer’s bringing good vibrations to Razercon with a $300 vibrating seat cushion | Gaming

Razer’s new haptic gaming cushion is, well, interesting. It’s called the Razer Freya and it’s a pretty self-explanatory device: you load it onto your chair, plug it in, and the six padded regions, each with a motor embedded within it, start a-rumblin’ in time with in-game actions, sounds, or music. The idea is, with haptic feedback vibrating down your back and backside, you’ll be more engrossed in your game.

It’s certainly an idea—one that a few haptic companies have been pushing for a while now. There are haptic vests, haptic chairs (including one from Razer), haptic chair accessories, but never, as Razer tells me ahead of Freya’s release, a cushion.
