Razer has teamed up with one of the biggest K-pop groups, but forgot to make a headset

Razer has just unveiled that it's teaming up with K-pop group Blackpink to release a range of PC gaming accessories, and suddenly, I wish I were a stan. The line features a range of existing peripherals that are draped out in a stunning pink colorway, which Razer states is inspired by the group's "concert visuals and performance energy."

Just like Razer's past collaborations, it's not the best gaming chair, keyboard, and mouse that has been given the limited edition treatment. Instead, it's the brand's more budget-friendly accessories, from the Razer Enki X chair to the Razer Ornata V3 TKL keyboard, that have been given a Blackpink coat of paint, which should it maike it more accessible to fans. Yet while the new Blackpink x Razer collection includes just about everything you'd need to turn your PC setup into a Blackpink shrine, it's missing one fundamental thing - where's the gaming headset?

Past Razer collaborations, like the Razer x Gengar Collection, which launched late last year, included a gaming headset, so it's extra strange that it's missing from this upcoming lineup. Blackpink is one, if not the biggest K-pop group in the world, and according to Forbes, the group's track "Jump" just earned a Gold Certification, meaning that it's sold over half a million units in the US. Yet, this new collection doesn't include a gaming headset to allow fans (also known as 'Blinks') to actually listen to their tracks.

Instead, it includes a Razer Enki X Blackpink Edition chair, which comes equipped with a 100-degree extended shoulder arch and an ultra-wide seat base. It's usual all-black look has been replaced with pink accents, and the K-pop group's logo on the back. The chair matches the Razer Ornata V3 TKL - Blackpink Edition gaming keyboard, which has also been given a makeover for all the Blinks out there.

The entire board is now pink, including the wrist rest, which has the Blackpink and Deadline logos on each corner. While I had the track Jump on repeat for a big chunk of 2025, I wish I was abig K-pop fan to merit grabbing the keyboard, as it'd tie nicely into the pink theming of my office. As would the Razer DeathAdder Essential - Blackpink Edition gaming mouse, which is also part of the collection.

The wired mouse features a 6,400 DPI optical sensor and 5 programmable buttons, and the same black and pink design. This time, the 'Deadline' logo is subtly printed on the left-click; meanwhile, the palmrest is playing host to the Razer and group's logos.

While a gaming headset has been omitted from the upcoming collection, there is a matching Razer Gigantus V2 Blackpink Edition mouse mat to tie everything together. As you can imagine from the rest of the set, it's essentially just a pink mouse mat with the Razer and Blackpink logos printed on the textured micro-weave cloth surface.

The entire Blackpink Collection will debut on January 21 later this month at the Blackpink World Tour Deadline Pop-Up Store in Hong Kong. If you can't be there, you'll be happy to know that it'll launch during Q2 later in the year, but pricing details are still hush-hush for now. However, before you jump to action to grab them in the months ahead, be wary that the Razer peripherals will likely be a bit pricier than their non-Blackpink designs to account for any licensing fees it took to put this collaboration together.

Ever since I first held a NES controller in my hand I've been obsessed with gaming, and the hardware it runs on. I could hook up a NES and SNES to a telly, without instructions, before I could walk. Even now, nothing is more exciting then taking a console, or handheld, out the box for the first time and setting it up. This obsession transformed into a love of games and game music, which lead to my music degree and dream of becoming the Scottish Nobuo Uematsu. After sharing my love of games through music, I began to share my love through words on sites like TechRadar and iMore. This lead to becoming a Hardware staff writer for PCGamesN, and later the Senior Tech Writer for Dexerto, covering all things Steam Deck, PlayStation and Nintendo. With that experience, I was able to level up as Hardware Editor for GamesRadar+, where I'm still just as Nintendo, PlayStation and gaming tech obsessed as ever.
