CES 2026 is home to all sorts of strange, weird tech — including Razer's deeply unsettling holographic AI companion.

CES 2026 is in full swing in Las Vegas, with the show floor open to the public after a packed couple of days occupied by press conferences from the likes of Nvidia, Sony, and AMD and previews from Sunday’s Unveiled event.

Razer also announced some thankfully AI-free products at the show, including the Wolverine V3 Bluetooth – a controller that it is calling 'the world's fastest wireless gaming controller ' – and a pair of gaming chairs, including an immersive gaming chair concept and a next-gen Razer Iskur chair that is designed to stay cooler for longer.
