CES 2022

Razer's new gaming chair and desk are straight out of the future

Project Sophia and Enki Pro HyperSense are a very “Razer” take on a gaming desk and a gaming chair.

I’m not sure gaming desks are really a thing, but Razer might make them one with Project Sophia, a new design concept it’s introducing at CES 2022. The desk is sleek, but definitely looks like Razer designed it, which depending on your taste for Chroma, might stop you in your tracks.

The desk features a variety of optional modules to adapt to what you’re doing throughout the day. Razer imagines detachable screens, a digitizer and stylus for design work, or attachments for the company’s Razer Kiyo webcam for conference calls.

“Project Sophia is our futuristic vision of a multi-purpose gaming and workstation set-up which meets the very different needs of a variety of PC uses, negating the need to move between workspaces...”

Beneath the futuristic attachments and glass tabletop, Razer also wants Project Sophia to be a capable PC. The desk concept has a magnetically attached chassis with “the latest Intel processor and Nvidia GPU” to tackle whatever task you throw at it.

Like Razer’s other concepts, there are no guarantees Sophia becomes a mass-produced, purchasable product. Still, Razer’s Zephyr mask started as Project Hazel before it became a real bonafide product. Who’s to say Project Sophia can’t do the same?

Razer’s also has a futuristic office product you can actually purchase — the Enki Pro Hypersense

The Hypersense carries over the design of Razer’s Enki Pro gaming chair, and includes haptics from D-Box, the company best known for creating “4D” experiences at theater chains.

"Games, movies, and music titles" support haptics on the Enki Pro HyperSense natively.

According to Razer, the Enki Pro Hypersense provides physical feedback in games and movies with 65,000 haptic variations for various textures and motions and 1.5 inches of vertical and backward tilt.

It sounds like a theme park ride for your games, except it lives in your office, assuming it’s actually feasible to purchase.
