Razer Xbox 25th Anniversary Translucent Green Mouse, Keyboard and Earbuds

Razer has joined Xbox’s 25th-anniversary celebrations with three limited-edition peripherals in translucent green: the Basilisk V3 Pro 35K mouse, BlackWidow V4 75% keyboard, and Hammerhead V3 X HyperSpeed for Xbox wireless earbuds. The collection is available now, with MSRPs of $179.99, $209.99, and $119.99 respectively.

The shared colour is doing much of the commemorative work here. Its translucent emerald finish recalls a special-edition original Xbox console as well as the original Xbox debug hardware used for in-development builds. That connection gives the range a more specific identity than a simple anniversary badge: it reaches back to one of the machine’s most recognizable visual signatures while applying it to modern desk and audio gear.

There is one conspicuous omission. None of the three products is an Xbox controller. Instead, Razer’s anniversary lineup is aimed at the equipment surrounding play: a mouse for a PC setup, a compact mechanical keyboard, and earbuds designed for Xbox and PC use. Microsoft is separately commemorating the anniversary with translucent-green Xbox hardware, including a special-edition Xbox Series X bundled with Halo: Campaign Evolved and a matching controller. Xbox’s actual 25th anniversary falls on November 15.

What is in the Xbox 25th Anniversary collection?

The products are limited-edition versions of existing flagship Razer categories rather than a newly detailed family of devices designed from scratch. Buyers are choosing among three different kinds of peripheral, each with a distinct role and a substantially different price point.

Razer Basilisk V3 Pro 35K, Xbox 25 Anniversary Edition — $179.99 MSRP: a wireless ergonomic mouse with Razer’s Focus Pro 35K Optical Sensor Gen-2, a configurable HyperScroll Tilt Wheel, 13 customizable controls, HyperSpeed Wireless, and Chroma RGB lighting.
Razer BlackWidow V4 75%, Xbox 25 Anniversary Edition — $209.99 MSRP: a compact, hot-swappable mechanical keyboard with pre-installed Orange Tactile Switches Gen-3, an Xbox key for Game Bar, two-side underglow, per-key Chroma RGB, and a magnetic leatherette wrist rest.
Razer Hammerhead V3 X HyperSpeed for Xbox, Xbox 25 Anniversary Edition — $119.99 MSRP: wireless earbuds supporting HyperSpeed Wireless over 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth 5.3, SmartSwitch, up to 35 hours of battery life, IPX4 water resistance, and surround sound on Xbox and PC.

MSRP means manufacturer’s suggested retail price. It is useful as the official baseline for comparing the three products, but it does not by itself establish a retailer’s final selling price or future discounts.

The mouse: a premium wireless option for a green desk setup

At $179.99 MSRP, the Basilisk V3 Pro 35K is the collection’s dedicated mouse option. Razer describes it as ergonomic, which means its physical shape is intended to better follow the hand than a perfectly symmetrical design. Whether that works for a particular player depends on grip and hand size, neither of which can be inferred from a specification sheet, but the positioning makes clear that comfort over longer sessions is part of the product’s intended appeal.

Its Focus Pro 35K Optical Sensor Gen-2 is the component that tracks movement across a surface. An optical sensor uses light to register that movement; the “35K” designation is part of the stated sensor specification. The provided details do not establish how the anniversary edition performs relative to other mice in real-world use, so its practical draw should be read as its listed feature set plus the exclusive finish, not as a claimed performance leap over every alternative.

The HyperScroll Tilt Wheel is another flexibility-focused feature. A configurable wheel suggests that scrolling behavior can be adjusted, while tilt capability adds side-to-side wheel inputs. Combined with 13 customizable controls, that potentially gives users a considerable pool of commands to assign. Such inputs can matter for players who want frequently used actions at hand, but the announcement does not specify profiles, software behavior, or which games may benefit most.

HyperSpeed Wireless is Razer’s named wireless technology, and Chroma RGB refers to the lighting system. Neither label changes the central anniversary proposition: this is a high-end wireless mouse wearing the old Xbox green in a way that will be most visible beside a keyboard, rather than a subtle logo-only collaboration.

The keyboard puts its Xbox connection on a PC desk

The BlackWidow V4 75% is the highest-priced item in the three-piece range at $209.99 MSRP. Its “75%” description indicates a compact keyboard layout category rather than an assertion that it offers only three quarters of a keyboard’s usefulness. The relevant point for shoppers is that Razer is presenting this as a compact mechanical model, not a full-size board.

Mechanical keyboards use individual switches under their keys. This edition comes with Orange Tactile Switches Gen-3 already installed. “Tactile” describes a switch feel intended to provide physical feedback as a key is pressed. The announcement does not make a noise-level claim, nor does it provide actuation measurements, so those details should not be assumed from the tactile label alone.

Hot-swappable is the other key term. It means the keyboard is designed so switches can be changed without soldering. That is meaningful for users who like the ability to alter a board’s key feel or maintain it over time. It does not mean the announcement identifies every compatible switch or explains the replacement process, but it does set this model apart from a keyboard whose switches are fixed in place.

Razer also includes a dedicated Xbox key for Game Bar. Game Bar is a Windows gaming overlay, and the dedicated key gives the board a direct visual and functional Xbox-adjacent touch. Two-side underglow and per-key Chroma RGB extend the translucent-green theme beyond the case colour, while the included magnetic leatherette wrist rest is the comfort-oriented extra in the package.

Of the three products, the keyboard may be the clearest expression of an Xbox anniversary being interpreted through PC hardware. It does not replace a controller, and it is not presented as one. Rather, it makes an Xbox visual motif part of a compact keyboard setup. Readers following broader PC-focused developments can find more PC gaming coverage.

The earbuds are the most direct Xbox-and-PC crossover

The $119.99 MSRP Hammerhead V3 X HyperSpeed for Xbox earbuds are explicitly described for both Xbox and PC, making them the collection’s most direct cross-platform item on paper. Their listed audio feature is surround sound on those two platforms. The announcement does not specify the surround implementation or compare it with other headset formats, so the supported-platform statement is the reliable takeaway.

Razer lists two wireless connection standards: HyperSpeed Wireless at 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth 5.3. In plain terms, the earbuds are presented as supporting a dedicated 2.4 GHz wireless connection as well as Bluetooth. SmartSwitch is also listed, though the supplied information does not explain its exact switching behavior. It is better understood here as a named connectivity feature than as a promise of any particular multi-device routine.

Battery life is rated at up to 35 hours. “Up to” is important: it states a maximum claim rather than a guaranteed result in every listening scenario. The earbuds also carry an IPX4 water-resistance rating. The “X” means no dust-protection rating is supplied in that code, while the “4” relates to resistance against splashing water. That makes the rating useful context for routine splashes, but it should not be read as a claim that the earbuds are waterproof.

Why the translucent green matters

Anniversary hardware often relies on a logo, a plaque, or a fresh colour. This set works from a more pointed reference: transparent green hardware associated with the early Xbox era. The original Xbox connection is especially fitting because the collection is celebrating a platform milestone rather than a single current game release.

It also creates a visual bridge between products that do not normally form a traditional console bundle. A mouse, keyboard, and true wireless earbuds have separate jobs and can be bought separately. The finish turns them into a coordinated set for someone building around the look, while each device’s existing utility determines whether it makes sense on its own.

That is why the lack of a controller stands out without undermining the collection’s purpose. Microsoft’s matching anniversary console and controller cover the conventional living-room side of Xbox hardware. Razer’s products instead treat the celebration as an opportunity for PC-desk peripherals and portable audio, using the same visual shorthand to connect the two spaces.

What prospective buyers can take from the announcement

The collection is not a one-size-fits-all purchase. The Basilisk V3 Pro 35K is for those specifically seeking a wireless ergonomic mouse with extensive programmable controls. The BlackWidow V4 75% is the choice for a compact mechanical keyboard, switch-swapping capability, lighting, and the dedicated Game Bar key. The Hammerhead V3 X HyperSpeed for Xbox is the lower-priced entry point and the one explicitly identified for surround sound on both Xbox and PC.

For collectors of Xbox design history, the translucent green may be the deciding factor. For practical buyers, the more useful route is to evaluate each product first as a mouse, keyboard, or pair of earbuds, then decide whether the anniversary finish warrants the premium-oriented positioning. The stated specs give a clear starting point, but they do not answer personal questions about fit, preferred key feel, audio taste, or real-world battery life.

What is certain is that Xbox’s 25th anniversary is arriving with a coordinated hardware look that reaches beyond the console itself. Razer’s trio turns a memorable original-Xbox colour into a mouse, a compact keyboard, and wireless earbuds—an intentionally nostalgic treatment for peripherals built around contemporary features.
