A grinning Pikachu in the middle of the mouse mat, the three Kanto starters across the accessories, and yellow everywhere: the Razer x Pokémon collection happily draws attention to itself. For a fan, the artwork might win you over before you even read the keyboard’s name.
The appeal is seeing familiar Pokémon on things you use every day. How far you take it is another matter. A mouse mat adds a splash of Kanto to the desk you already have. The full set means buying a keyboard, mouse and headset as well, with the keyboard alone accounting for almost half the bill.
Pikachu and the starters move onto the desk
Razer brings together Pikachu, Squirtle, Charmander and Bulbasaur for this Kanto collection. Those four faces take longtime fans back to the first Pokémon games, released in Japan for the Game Boy in 1996. Younger fans can recognize the same Pokémon from cartoons or their coloring pages.
After its initial arrival in Asia, Razer and The Pokémon Company International brought the collection to the United States and Europe in July 2025. That is the Kanto edition covered here: four matching accessories, comprising a BlackWidow V4 X keyboard, Cobra mouse, Kraken V4 X headset and Gigantus V2 Medium mouse mat.
Anyone who enjoys decorative skins or stickers will recognize that urge to make familiar hardware feel personal. Here, the artwork is part of themed versions of existing Razer peripherals, with a shared palette running through the set.
Plenty of yellow, right down to the mouse mat
The collection mixes yellow and black surfaces with portraits of the four Pokémon. The mouse mat goes furthest with the pattern: a dense mosaic of little faces surrounds a large, smiling Pikachu. The result is busy, cheerful and very much in keeping with the cartoon side of Pokémon.
On the keyboard, the patterned frame catches the eye. Put it beside a black monitor and PC case and it can easily become the first thing you notice. The yellow stands out even among other accessories.
This look is a natural fit for heavily themed desks. It would sit happily in an unboxing video or a stream where showing your love of Pokémon is part of the fun. Anyone who prefers understated hardware may find the repeated portraits overwhelming. The pattern makes a much bigger impression when all four pieces are together.
You can also let the mat carry the whole theme. Beside a plain keyboard and mouse, it becomes the desk’s one bright patch of color, leaving Pikachu to enjoy the spotlight.
A clicky keyboard and a 58 g mouse
The BlackWidow V4 X is a full-size mechanical keyboard with Razer Green switches, which have a tactile, clicky response. That audible click is part of the attraction if you enjoy this kind of keyboard, and part of what everyone around the desk will hear. Its six dedicated macro keys put MMO commands or repetitive desktop shortcuts within reach, while Chroma RGB lighting lets you customize the backlighting. The linked model uses a US QWERTY layout.
The Cobra is a wired mouse weighing 58 g, with an 8,500 DPI optical sensor, third-generation optical switches and a flexible Speedflex cable. It has a symmetrical shape, with the thumb buttons positioned on the left side. The shape is symmetrical, but those buttons are easier to reach with your right hand.
The Kraken V4 X has 40 mm TriForce drivers, a retractable HyperClear cardioid microphone and Chroma RGB lighting. It is a wired headset, and this Pokémon edition has no Sensa HD haptic feedback. Its appeal is a matching headset for the setup, with a microphone you can tuck away after a game or a call.
The Gigantus V2 Medium is the simplest of the four: 360 × 275 × 3 mm, a textured cloth surface and a rubber base. It gives the artwork plenty of space without asking you to replace your existing hardware. That also makes it an easy gift for a fan who already has a favorite keyboard and mouse.
What does the Kanto collection cost now?
A desk full of Kanto Pokémon comes at a price: $345.96 for all four accessories on Amazon US.
New-item prices checked on October 22, 2026, for delivery to New York, before sales tax and shipping.
At $29.97, the mat is the most affordable indulgence in this selection. It gives you the artwork while keeping your existing setup. The keyboard, at $169.00, accounts for almost half the bill. Its clicky switches, dedicated macros and full-size layout deserve as much attention as the Pokémon around the keys.
If you are replacing a peripheral, the equivalent standard Razer model is a useful comparison. The price difference at the time of purchase tells you what the Pokémon finish adds to the bill. After that, you know your own affection for the Kanto starters: the pleasure of having Squirtle on your desk is something a specification sheet will never capture.
Our pick is the mat: it gives the artwork the most room for the lowest price in the collection. The keyboard’s clicky switches and macro keys will appeal to fans who are also looking to replace their hardware.
The full set has its charm if you want an all-Pokémon desk. But Pikachu beneath your mouse is already a lovely place to start.
