The Zephyr could help people in those areas feel more comfortable in public, particularly if they're already Razer enthusiasts. While it's arriving relatively late in to the COVID-19 pandemic, there are many places that still require masks, some of which might mandate that protection for a while to come. In a sense, Razer's mask is a gamble that paid off. There's even a mobile app to customize the lights. No doubt sensing an opportunity, the company now plans to release a Pro version of the mask. This theoretically protects you as well as it does others. The smart face mask, which later became Zephyr, went on sale in October for 100 and promptly sold out. The transparent design and RGB lighting give it a bit of flash (this is a Razer product, after all), but the highlight is a dual-fan active air. The Zephyr is, effectively a high-end pandemic protection kit for gamers.

Just be prepared to hunt around, or at least to be patient - the Starter Pack is already listed as 'out of stock,' and the mask by itself is still 'coming soon.' You can buy the Zephyr either by itself for $100 or a $150 Starter Pack with three replacement filter kits.

It took the better part of a year, but Razer's smart face mask is finally available.
