D-BOX Technologies and Razer combine their talents to announce the Enki Pro HyperSense concept gaming chair at the Consumer Electronics Show
The first Razer gaming chair powered by immersive D-BOX high-fidelity haptic technology
D-BOX Technologies Inc. (D-BOX) (TSX: DBO), a world leader in immersive and realistic haptic experiences, is partnering with Razer™ (Razer), the world’s leading lifestyle brand for gamers, to design the first concept Razer gaming chair featuring D-BOX’s high-fidelity haptic technology. The prototype project showcased in Las Vegas creates immersive touch-sensory feedback for lifelike sensations based on cues from games and a variety of fully integrated entertainment mediums.
This concept product showcases direct haptic feedback from passive and interactive content ranging from games to streaming libraries featuring over 2,000 movies and TV series. The chair can be seen in the Razer booth #15076 in the Central Hall at the Consumer Electronics Show until January 8, 2022.
According to Newzoo, 2021’s global games market will generate revenues of $175.8 billion, on track to Surpass $200 Billion by 2023. By the end of the year, there will be 2.9 billion players worldwide. This market now earns more revenue than the film and music industries combined because of the rising popularity of video games in all corners of the globe and among all age groups. Players are spending more and more time gaming, and regard for its social and entertainment values are growing apace.
Razer is constantly looking to innovate and to improve the gaming experience. Haptics open up a world of possibilities, be it via chairs, headsets or any other accessory, and we’re still tapping into the full potential of how this evolving technology will enhance the gaming experience,” said Jeevan Aurol, associate director of product marketing at Razer. “Haptics are part of the gaming industry’s future, so working with an experienced industry leader like D-BOX was an obvious choice for us.
“High-fidelity haptics, a D-BOX technology road-tested for over 20 years, provides the player with complete immersion, increased enjoyment and a unique competitive advantage based on the motion and vibration signals conveyed directly from the game’s telemetry. The D-BOX haptic experience is suitable for players of all calibres and for games of all intensities, and even to watch movies and TV series content available through our catalogue on D-BOX PLUS ,” said Sébastien Mailhot, President and CEO of D-BOX. “Razer is a global leading actor in the world of video games, and we are very pleased that we can collaborate with a company known worldwide for the quality of its products and for its commitment to the industry.”
The Razer Enki Pro Hypersense combines all-day comfort with D-BOX’s high-fidelity haptics to deliver ultimate true-to-life gaming immersion.

Thunderpick Partners with Oddin.gg and Introduces BetPeek, First Fully Interactive Esports Viewing Platform
Thunderpick, the leading esports betting platform, in partnership with Oddin.gg, a provider of end-to-end esports betting solutions, today announced the exclusive launch of BetPeek, a first-of-its-kind interactive esports viewing experience available only on Thunderpick.io.
While most esports streams today limit fans to static broadcast feeds and pre-selected camera angles, BetPeek flips the script. For the first time, viewers can control how they watch the action—transforming every match into a personalized, immersive event.
BetPeek’s key features include:
- Follow Any Player – Switch instantly to the POV of any competitor on the server.
- Dynamic Camera Control – Place the camera anywhere on the map for a unique vantage point.
- X-Ray Vision – Unlock strategic insights by seeing what players can’t.
- Play, Pause & Rewind – Revisit every clutch play with DVR-style controls.
- Integrated Betting Tools – Access deeper context and analysis to inform smarter wagers.
“Traditional esports streams have barely evolved; they’re often one-size-fits-all broadcasts that leave fans wishing for more control,” said Kelly Sanders, Head of Strategy at Thunderpick. “BetPeek completely changes that. By putting fans in the driver’s seat, we’re delivering an esports experience that’s not just more engaging, but truly revolutionary for bettors and spectators alike.”
Why It Matters
Until now, esports fans had little choice beyond passively watching standard tournament streams or fragmented co-streams. BetPeek represents the next era: an interactive, on-demand, and bet-integrated platform unlike anything else in the industry. For bettors, this means unprecedented visibility into momentum shifts, rotations, and player form. For fans, it’s a chance to experience the match exactly how they want.
Exclusive to Thunderpick
BetPeek is available only on Thunderpick.io, reinforcing Thunderpick’s position as the most innovative esports betting destination worldwide. In partnership with Oddin.gg, a global leader in esports betting solutions, Thunderpick continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in live, fan-first esports engagement.
The Global Esports Federation at its 16th Board Meeting approved the draft program for the Los Angeles 2026 Global Esports Games, to be held in December 2026. This follows the earlier announcement of Los Angeles as host city at a major ceremony hosted by Los Angeles Times Media Group Executive Chairman & CEO Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, and El Segundo Mayor Chris Pimentel—now marking a significant milestone on the road to GEF’s flagship event in the United States.
The GEF Board also unanimously elected Paul J. Foster as President of the Global Esports Federation. Paul, who is GEF Chief Executive Officer, was appointed President ad interim following the resignation of founding President Chris Chan in July, and now assumes the role of President & CEO through December 2027.
In addition, the GEF Board approved the establishment of frameworks to develop the esports ecosystem in the United States, anchored in Los Angeles. This initiative will strengthen the GEF’s connections with stakeholders worldwide and reinforce its mission to elevate esports for all.
The outcomes of GEF 16th Board Meeting reaffirm the GEF’s role as a convening platform, uniting athletes, publishers, Member Federations, and partners to power the future of esports globally.
