The Razer Kraken V3 takes things to a whole new level with its intelligent haptics. Called Razer HyperSense. The closest comparison to what this might feel like would be Sony’s advanced haptics in the PS5’s DualSense controller. Though HyperSense will work in an entirely different way. Razer claims that HyperSense will provide gamers with natural lifelike sensations for greater immersion. Utilizing an advanced L5 driver with real-time processing to help mimic reality. Razer says audio processing happens in as little as 5ms. It also requires no integration at all and it’s adjustable via on-headset controls.
