You've seen beta tests for video games, but have you ever seen a beta test for a face mask? Well, it's what Razer plans to do with their RGB gamer face mask, the Zephyr, before it hits store shelves later this year. Announced at CES 2021 as Project Hazel, Razer has just given the product its final name, alongside a reveal that they would have a community beta test to allow a select few to try the mask out prior to its Q4 release. The Zephyr is described as a wearable air purifier, rocking replaceable N95 filters, full face seal, and of course, some gamer RGBs glowing on the front of it. You can sign up for a chance at being a part of the mask's beta test by going to Razer's official site.

They ask for your social media profiles when you sign up so I'd bet they're looking to get some free advertising out of it as well. I'd be surprised if any normal non-influencer people get to beta test it.

Edit: I wonder if I can just lie and give them someone else's profile lmao

The world became a dumpster fire, fueled by Razer.

This has to be a joke, isn't it?

Anti vaxxers have been going around WORKING AS ESSENTIAL EMPLOYEES while you vaxxers have been scared at home. ME and most I know never gave a damn about wearing masks and rarely did. Shut your life down mine kept going #worthit

lol, in what world are essential workers only anti-vaxxers? Or even the bulk are anti-vaxxers? Not saying they don't exist, but that's quite the world view you have there.

???

at least here in Canada, a lot of our essential workers actually got their vaccines early, so they were still able to work. at least vaccines are easier to disagree with more than masks. people wear them for colds, why would it not work for covid? lol

This is dumb.

embarrassing

This will be great for teachers. It’s got a built in “voice-amp”.

The beta test in reality when the day comes is an actual exposure to various covid patients to see if the mask works or not, mileage may vary, Razer is not liable.

Sadly, anti-vaxxers are also anti-maskers. “You can’t tell me what to do!!!”

Turns out COVID-19 is scared of RGB.
