Razer Nari Ultimate review: This haptics-enabled gaming headset lets you literally feel the groove
There’s one area where PC gamers get consistently overlooked: haptics. Haptic feedback (or rumble, in the vernacular) has been a mainstay of console gaming for almost two decades now, and for good reason. Smart usage can both increase immersion and provide invaluable feedback to players, e.g. letting you feel the moment digital tires lose traction on slick asphalt, or warning that an enemy’s shooting at you.
Incredibly comfortable and aided by cooling gel in the ear cups, the Razer Nari Ultimate is a haptics-enabled headset that doesn’t feel like a one-off gimmick. The only sticking point is the $200 price tag.
Haptics are sophisticated enough to justify their inclusion; Extremely comfortable; Cooling gel in the earcups is a nifty trick;
Cooling gel warms up too quickly; Tying haptics intensity to volume is a bizarre move; $200 price a bit steep;
