Razer's New EVA-01 Collection Turns Evangelion's Unit-01 Into Gaming Gear

Razer has turned Evangelion's Unit-01 into gaming hardware. The company's newsroom confirmed on October 29 that a new Razer│EVANGELION (EVA-01) Collection is heading to Asia-Pacific retailers, reskinning five peripherals in the purple-and-green livery of Shinji Ikari's Eva: a wireless mouse, a wireless mechanical keyboard, a gaming chair, a USB-C soundbar and a cloth mouse mat. It's the second Evangelion-themed line Razer has built this year, following a January collection styled after Asuka Langley's red Unit-02.

Five pieces of gear built around one purple Eva

The headline product is the Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro, an ultra-lightweight wireless ergonomic mouse that ships with its own EVA-01-branded display stand, styled after the transport platform Nerv uses to move the Eva into launch position. Razer paired the mouse with a BlackWidow V4 TKL HyperSpeed wireless mechanical keyboard that keeps its hot-swappable switches and low-latency 2.4GHz connection, a Gigantus V2 XXL cloth mouse mat sized for full-desk coverage, and a compact Leviathan V2 X soundbar that runs over a single USB-C cable.

Rounding out the lineup is the Razer Iskur V2 X, an ergonomic gaming chair with built-in lumbar support that carries the same color-blocked EVA-01 panels as the rest of the set. Every item keeps its standard internals and switch options; the collection changes shells, cable sleeves and packaging rather than performance specs, so shoppers who already know the base BlackWidow V4 TKL HyperSpeed or base DeathAdder V4 Pro know exactly what they're buying under the new paint.

That consistency matters for a lineup built around appearance rather than new engineering. The base Leviathan V2 X already sells as a desk-friendly alternative to a full surround setup, and the Gigantus V2 XXL's cloth surface and non-slip base were unchanged from the standard SKU in Razer's own spec sheet for the collection. The only functional addition anywhere in the set is the DeathAdder's stand.

A transport-platform stand, not just a paint job

Razer's past anime collaborations, including lines built around Pokémon, Sanrio characters and BLACKPINK earlier this year, have mostly limited themselves to color schemes and printed artwork on existing shells. The EVA-01 set goes a step further with the DeathAdder's display stand, which Razer designed to echo the elevator-style launch cradle that lifts Evangelion units into Tokyo-3's surface catapults in the original 1995 series. It's a small detail, but it's the one piece of the collection built specifically for this collaboration rather than adapted from an existing accessory.

No price or release date yet

Razer's announcement and its dedicated collection page do not list pricing or a firm on-sale date for any of the five items, and the company has not said whether the line will reach North American or European storefronts at all. That absence tracks with Razer's EVA-02 collection, which was revealed in mid-January and then rolled out in stages: most of that lineup went on sale in Japan in late March, with the Iskur V2 X chair arriving separately in May. If the EVA-01 collection follows the same pattern, buyers outside Asia-Pacific markets shouldn't expect to find it on Razer's main storefront soon, if ever — treat any wider release as unconfirmed until Razer says otherwise.

Part of a busier licensing calendar

The EVA-01 line lands in a year when Razer has leaned harder on licensed collections than usual, pairing its gear with Pokémon's Pikachu and Eevee, several Sanrio characters including Pompompurin and Cinnamoroll, and a BLACKPINK-branded set released earlier in 2026. Evangelion crossovers have historically stayed confined to Asia-Pacific retail, unlike the Sanrio and Pokémon lines, some of which have reached Target shelves in the United States. For a hardware maker that already ships dozens of SKUs a year, licensed collections like this one are a comparatively cheap way to keep existing products in headlines without touching the engineering behind them.

What to watch next

For now, the collection exists only as a reveal: five product renders, a short retailer note limiting it to Asia-Pacific, and no confirmed price. Razer typically follows these announcements with regional on-sale dates within a few months, as it did with EVA-02, so specifics on pricing and availability should surface before the end of the year.
