We still don't know how much they're going to cost, though, but hopefully we'll get another update closer to launch. When you reach the top and masks are available, you'll receive an email. Those who want to buy one will need to sign up on Razer's website, and they'll be put in a big virtual queue. Likewise, because of the, and I quote, "insane demand" for it, masks will be arriving in batches as and when they come in from the factory. Razer said they're currently aiming for "an early Q4" launch at the end of the year, so it's probably going to be sometime in October or November.

The launch of Project Hazel is still some months away yet. It's still going to be using replacable N95 grade filters, and as mentioned, they're keeping the clear, see-through design, too. Other Project Hazel features have remained the same. They also said they're going to make sure that every mask is lab-tested to meet the same BFE (or 'bacterial filtration effciency') rating as the regular surgical masks they've been making over the last year, too. Still, interior RGB lights aside, I can definitely get behind the new anti-fog coating, and it's also going to have a secure silicon face seal, too, according to Razer, which wasn't part of the original design. Surely, having a green mouth is going to have the opposite effect, as people won't be listening to what you're saying - they'll be staring, transfixed at your rainbow-illuminated chops. It's a great idea, but I can't help but chuckle at the over-the-top 'gamer' implementation of it. The filters already had RGB rings around them, but as the bloke modelling the latest concept mask up the top there shows, you can now have RGBs beamed into your mouth as well. The serious line on this addition is, of course, to make it easier to see what you're saying in low-lighting conditions, as the mask itself is see-through. After listening to community feedback, Razer have added some new features to their upcoming N95 respirator, including a new anti-fog coating and, my favourite, interior RGB lighting.

We'll go hands-on with Razer's Project Zephyr as soon as a unit becomes available. While the pore size is larger, Covid needs to travel in droplets, or in larger clusters. Whereas an N95 or KN95 mask have a pore size of 0.3 microns.

The fibers of cloth are simply too big, making it easy for viral particulates to get through. An Alpha Covid particle is about 0.125 microns. The CDC is now recommending (opens in new tab) that all individuals, vaccinated included, wear masks indoors.Ĭonsidering that Delta is spreading 50% faster and is 50% more contagious (opens in new tab) than Alpha, putting it on par with the chicken pox, more basic cloth masks or bandannas will not do the trick. As the Delta variant of the Covid-19 novel coronavirus has taken over the world, becoming the dominant strain, it has pushed infections of areas with low vaccination rates back to 2020 peaks.
