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.

The Cinnamoroll Edition costs $139.99 in the U.S., which is a noticeable jump over the regular Razer Kraken Kitty V2 BT, listed at $99.99. So, yes, part of the price is clearly for the Sanrio treatment.
The core hardware is still the same. It uses 40mm Razer TriForce drivers, connects over Bluetooth 5.2, and weighs 325 grams. Razer lists up to 40 hours of battery life, USB-C charging, oval ear cushions, built-in omnidirectional microphones, and two Razer Chroma RGB lighting zones on the ears and earcups.
The headset is the final release in Razer’s Cinnamoroll lineup, which already includes Cinnamoroll-themed hardware like the Razer Iskur V2 X NewGen gaming chair, Kraken V4 X wired headset, Ornata V3 Tenkeyless keyboard, Cobra mouse, and a Cobra plus Gigantus V2 mousepad bundle.
The new headset is not the obvious pick if you are shopping purely for specs. At this price, the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 is likely the better value. The Cinnamoroll Edition is for Sanrio fans who want their gaming setup to look softer, cuter, and far more cloud-puppy-coded, even if that means paying extra for the design.
Remember when transparent gadgets were the coolest things you could own? Sony is bringing that late '90s aesthetic back with its new PS5 Prism Collection. The gorgeous lineup gives your DualSense controller and PS5 console a glossy, see-through makeover in three eye-catching colors.

For years, Call of Duty’s campaign mode has used big, scripted set pieces to tell the overarching story amid all the adrenaline-pumping action. The 2023 Modern Warfare 3 tried to shake up the established formula by introducing a handful of short open combat missions, and I genuinely liked the idea, but the game's overall negative reception seeped into how those missions were received.
I feared the next iteration might abandon the idea because of the backlash, but I am glad it didn't. MW4’s “Stranded” mission uses the same approach, but instead of fragmenting it across the campaign, it puts it all in a single large-scale open-world mission.
Acer’s Predator Atlas 8 finally has a US release date and price, several months after the company first showed off the handheld in May. The highlight is the Intel Arc G3 Extreme chip inside, which has been adopted by only a couple of other consoles besides the Atlas 8. This version will go on sale exclusively at Best Buy on November 1 for $1,299.99.
Acer originally said the Atlas 8 would arrive in North America in October, but left pricing open at the time. The launch came amid the ongoing DRAM crunch, which has made memory more expensive across the PC industry and complicated pricing for hardware makers.
