Razer’s Sanrio collaboration has already produced a full desk setup, and the final drop is now here. The company has launched the Razer Kraken Kitty V2 BT Cinnamoroll Edition, a wireless headset themed around one of Sanrio’s most recognizable characters.

Cinnamoroll is a white puppy from Sanrio, the Japanese company behind Hello Kitty and several other globally recognized character brands. He is known for his long floppy ears, blue eyes, curly tail, and soft cloud-like look. As per the Sanrio lore, he was born high above the clouds and can fly by flapping his big ears. Razer has leaned heavily into that identity for this headset, replacing the usual kitty look with Cinnamoroll’s floppy ears and a sky-blue color scheme.

Valve's decision to officially support SteamOS 3.8 on standard gaming PCs has opened the door to an entirely new class of Steam Machines - without requiring gamers to buy Valve's own hardware.

OLED has been one of the clearest upgrades gaming monitors have received in years, but the problem has always been the price. Cutting-edge OLED gaming monitors have mostly lived in enthusiast territory, especially if you wanted a panel larger than 30 inches. Dell’s Alienware is now making that jump a little easier with its new 34-inch ultrawide QD-OLED gaming monitor, the AW3426DW.

The monitor was first shown at CES 2026 and is now available as part of Alienware’s 30th-anniversary lineup, alongside two more affordable VA models. At $799.99, the AW3426DW is still expensive, but for a 34-inch ultrawide with a 5-stack Penta Tandem QD-OLED panel, the price is lower than expected.
