Meet the Razer Seiren Emote, a streamers perfect match

Razer have announced the new Seiren Emote microphone, perfect for the streamer who wants to emote more, or for that person who wants a little more flair in their audio tech, check it out.

At the heart of the Seiren Emote is the world’s first 8-bit Emoticon LED display powered by Razer’s Emote Engine. The Emote Engine synchronises emoticon responses to on-stream audience interaction like alerts, chat messages, follows, donations and more. Streamers are free to express themselves and entertain in their own unique way through hundreds of presets or customisable emoticons that they can add or design themselves.

“Up-and-coming streamers are looking for more ways to engage with their fans and grow to new heights in order to become like their idols,” says Alvin Cheung, Senior Vice President of Razer’s Peripherals Business Unit. “With the Razer Seiren Emote, we are providing them with a new creative avenue, enabling an additional layer of interaction between streamers and fans that is truly fun and engaging.”

The microphone will be available later this year and is priced at the odd value of $250.95, if you are interested in tech specs, those are below.
