'We constructed a breathable efficiency engine': Razer pronounces Iskur V2 gaming chair follow-up that appears rather a lot just like the earlier one
Do you keep in mind the Razer Iskur V2? That fairly good follow-up to the V1, which was a bit costlier and got here with some additional nifty options? Effectively, Razer is following that follow-up with a chair it calls the Iskur V2 Newgen, and Razer tells me, “We did not simply construct a breathable chair, we constructed a breathable efficiency engine.”
Yeah, that every one sounds very Razer up to now. However, chopping by way of the bravado, the Newgen is reportedly extra breathable than the V2, utilizing Razer’s personal Gen 2 EPU leather-based with “cooltouch” expertise. It comes with a dual-density cold-cure foam seat, which Razer says goes “with out that trapped warmth feeling.”
The Newgen comes with Razer’s personal ‘Hyperflex lumbar help’. No, that is not the identical because the Razer Hyperflux, which is its wi-fi charging mousepad. This chair as an alternative comes with a 360-degree swivel, so you may spin all the way in which round, plus a reminiscence foam head cushion, plus a 152-degree recline—which is similar because the V2. Razer says the explanation the recline stayed the identical is “as a result of it is excellent”.

CES 2026
Meet up with CES 2026: We’re on the bottom in sunny Las Vegas overlaying all the most recent bulletins from among the greatest names in tech, together with Nvidia, AMD, Intel, Asus, Razer, MSI and extra.
This isn’t Razer’s first time bragging about its capability to maintain you cool when you recreation, both. Mission Arielle was unveiled ultimately 12 months’s CES, which was a model of the Razer Fujin Professional that Razer referred to as the “world’s first heating and cooling built-in mesh gaming chair”. It has a bladeless fan system that might alternate between cooling and heating, although it was only a prototype and seemingly hasn’t but made it to market. That is not significantly distinctive for CES prototypes, however that is not going to cease us from asking Alienware when it should launch a UFO handheld.
We do not but have a worth or launch date for the Razer Iskur V2 Newgen. The Razer Iskur retailed for $500, and the Razer Iskur V2 retailed for $650, so here is hoping for someplace round that worth.
The Iskur V2 Newgen is a part of Razer’s broader suite of bulletins as a part of CES 2026. In addition to the Newgen, we acquired a tease for a brand new chair that Razer calls the Mission Madison. It seems to be a Razer chair with one thing just like the Razer Clio audio system and possibly the rumbly bum-shaker Freyja haptic seat in-built.
In addition to this, we noticed the introduction of Mission Motoko, a wise headset with AI in-built, plus a Bluetooth Wolverine V3, and a *brace your self* desktop AI assistant. Yeah, it’s kind of of a blended bag this 12 months. Nonetheless, the Newgen appears to be like alright.
