The Razer Freyja haptic cushion offers a truly unique sensation when playing high-octane games.

Freyja is the near realization of the prototype I first experienced at CES 10 months ago .

It requires you to plug it into the wall, and the cable is much too short, requiring an extension cord.

Game-specific Sensa HD haptics don't seem to function correctly.

At $ 300 , it can't be a quick-decision purchase, even if it's well worth trying.

The haptics work best in a more immersive game, especially well if youâre seated in the cockpit of a car or are being showered in bullets in an FPS .

Freyja problems start right at setup.

The 4D feeling along your back is far more manageable, but not so much when your head is rumbling, too.

The Freyja is such an interesting piece of gaming tech that it's just not there yet.
