Razer just announced that its Iskur X gaming chair is now available. Billed as the company’s most affordable gaming chair — it doesn’t come with crazy fold-out OLED displays like the concept Project Brooklyn — the Iskur X comes with an ergonomic design comprising high-density foam cushions, durable synthetic leather, and a steel-reinforced body that’s made for hours of gaming.

The company claimed that the Iskur X is designed for maximum comfort and engineered for lasting durability. The chair supports up to 136 kilograms of weight — or 520 pounds — and features a sculpted backrest that contours to the natural curvature of your spine. A 2D armrest to minimize wrist and shoulder strain and angled seat edge for leg and thigh support round out the ergonomic design. The chair also supports multiple recline positions and can be repositioned during long gaming sessions.

In terms of the material, Razer stated that the synthetic leather feels and looks great. It is coated with a resin layer for shine on the surface and comes with a multilayered synthetic polyurethane fabric to withstand peeling from hours of daily use.

In addition to its gaming chair, Razer also launched separate Razer Head Cushion and Razer Lumbar Cushions for added support, which you can use with the Iskur X or your existing gaming chair. These cushions help to improve your posture and support your body for improved ergonomics. The Razer Lumbar Cushion, for instance, helps set the spine in a neutral position with its memory foam padding, according to the company. The Head Cushion, on the other hand, contours to your head for even more balance and support. You can add the Head Cushion to the top of your gaming chair, while the Lumbar Cushion is designed to rest on the lower-back portion of your chair.

All three components are available now on Razer.com and through authorized retailers, the company said. The Razer Iskur X gaming chair retails for $399, while the Razer Head Cushion is priced at $39 and the Lumbar Cushion comes in at $49. The Iskur X joins Razer’s existing Iskur, which comes in at $499, or a $100 premium over the Iskur X.

The FCC has a track record of using its Covered List to squeeze Chinese tech out of American markets, and robots just became its newest target. Foreign-made humanoids, quadrupeds, and even robot vacuums now need to be mostly built in the U.S. to sell here (via Rest of World). 

So what does the new rule actually require?

MacBook Neo’s latest Windows rival brings more RAM, more storage, and 120Hz display
Acer Go Air is the new MacBook Neo rival from Windows

Apple’s MacBook Neo has quickly become the laptop that inexpensive Windows machines have to answer. Acer’s latest Go Air has apparently decided that the best response is to start ticking off some of the hardware Apple left behind.

Acer has launched a new Go Air configuration in China powered by Intel’s recently released Core 5 320 processor. It comes with 12GB of LPDDR5 memory and a 512GB SSD for CNY 5,499, which converts to roughly $815. Global availability for this specific configuration hasn’t been announced, though it appears to be practically identical to the Acer Swift 14 that was showcased during Computex 2026.

MelGeek MADE68 Ultra V2 Review: Great for gaming, even better than I expected for typing
Rapid Trigger is great, but the switches and acoustics are what won me over.
Melgeek Mate 68 Ultra V2 on a desk

I have spent years using mechanical keyboards, and Hall Effect switches never really tempted me away from them. I understood the gaming appeal. Adjustable actuation and Rapid Trigger can make a meaningful difference in competitive games, but I also spend hours every day writing. Typing experience matters just as much to me.

The $219 MelGeek MADE68 Ultra V2 has made that distinction considerably harder to maintain.
