Razer's RGB face mask is becoming reality as Razer Zephyr

In January 2021 Razer revealed that it was working on creating an innovative PPE mask that included active ventilation, automatic sterilisation, a built-in voice amp and Razer Chroma too. 

Like the rest of the world, Razer was clearly taking the pandemic seriously. The company was working on creating some serious facial tech designed to not only protect the user and those around them but also to make life more bearable. 

The mask initially started as a concept. One that used an N95 medical-grade respirator system combined with active ventilators and a bacterial filtration system to keep 95 per cent of airborne dangers at bay. That ventilation system promises to deliver active air cooling to keep you fresh and cool under the mask too. 

Now Razer is making this mask a reality or at least preparing to do so. Razer Zephyr, as it's now known is available to beta test for a select few. 

Project Hazel is now officially Razer Zephyr – the latest evolution of our wearable air purifier. Designed to be safe, social and sustainable, Razer Zephyr sports 99% BFE, a secure silicon face seal and anti-fog coating.

There's no doubt that Zephyr is different from the majority of masks available currently and not just because it rocks Razer Chroma capable RGB. 

It's built around a transparent design that's meant to help eliminate the problems with social interaction masks often cause. Wearing this, people you're talking to will be able to see you smile or grimace and read facial cues more easily. You don't need to worry about steaming up either, as it's been designed with anti-fog coating. 

Razer's VoiceAmp Technology is also included which uses a built-in microphone and speaker system to help you be understood when wearing the mask. With rigorous testing, Razer also hopes to ensure this mask is as comfortable for the user as possible, while maintaining the safety of the user at the same time. 

It might only be in the beta stages at the moment, but it's pretty awesome to see Razer still moving forward with this project. We just hope the full launch isn't too far off.
