When it comes to Hatsune Miku, I believe many fans will call me my wife first. But what I see today is not what happened to your wives recently, but a series of Hatsune Miku computer peripherals that Thermaltake previously launched in cooperation with Japan’s TSUKUMO, which have recently been officially launched for pre-order in Japan. As pre-orders begin, we’ll also know what these peripherals will look like and approximate pricing. Today I will take you to take a look at what computer peripherals are launched under the name “HATSUNE MIKU”:

Thermaltake is a well-known computer peripheral manufacturer in Taiwan. It is famous for developing many e-sports related products, in addition to having its own e-sports team. This Hatsune Miku computer peripheral product series mainly uses TT’s original products for color changes, textures, etc., so that the atmosphere of the products is closer to Hatsune Miku’s character settings. You may not feel this way if you only have one or two pieces, but if you collect a lot of them, even people who don’t know Miku will know that these computer peripherals are different from others.
Thermaltake X TSUKUMO X MIKU
This time TT has launched quite a few Miku peripherals. In addition to basic keyboards, headphones, and mice, there are also cases and gaming chairs. What’s even more interesting is that there is also a cooling fan. If you use these to replace the equipment on your hand, not only will the colors look more colorful, but for iron fans, it will also feel like a busty spirit. Among the peripherals this time, the images of Hatsune Miku are all produced by the famous Japanese illustrator iXima. The iXima artist himself is also a well-known artist in drawing Hatsune pictures. I believe that for die-hard Hatsune fans, these images themselves are also precious collectibles.
HATSUNE MIKU gaming chair
This chair is similar to a common racing-style gaming chair. The difference is that there is a Hatsune picture on the headrest, and the color scheme is also a combination of “Mistress Color” turquoise and fluorescent pink. The height of the chair is set at 44 to 54 centimeters, which is just the right height for Asians. In addition, the chair also comes with a lumbar support pillow, and the chair can be tilted down to an almost flat lying angle (about 135 degrees). The pre-order price is 69,800 yen (tax included), which translates to about NT$19,000:

The author feels that this chair is quite similar to the Thermaltake X Comfort gaming chair, but I can’t be sure since I haven’t seen the actual chair. The price of X Comfort in Taiwan is about 13,000. The extra price may be due to the fact that a famous artist was hired to design the Hatsune pattern, and the price in Japan is usually slightly higher than in Taiwan.
PULSE G100 Xingcai Gaming Headset HATSUNE MIKU EDITION
This one clearly has a model, it is based on the Thermaltake Pulse G100 gaming headset and adds Miku elements. What’s more interesting is that the left and right earmuffs have a color-changing design rendered in two colors, which looks very beautiful. This headset has an additional RGB lighting function, but for players who collect this headset, perhaps the most important thing is that Miku is:

The current pre-order price of this headset is 10,800 yen, which is about 3,000 yuan in New Taiwan dollars.
LEVEL 20 RGB Gaming Mouse HATSUNE MIKU EDITION
Like the previous headset, this is also a real-life e-sports mouse model. In addition, there are matching portable bags and mouse pads, each of which is full of Miku elements. Just from the product picture, you can feel that this headset has more playful and cute elements after adding these elements:

The current pre-order price of this mouse is 16,800 yen, which is about 4,600 yuan in New Taiwan dollars.
LEVEL 20 RGB Gaming Mechanical Keyboard HATSUNE MIKU EDITION
This is a gaming keyboard with Cherry MX Speed RGB Silver switches. As usual, this is a gaming keyboard that adds Miku elements to an existing product. What’s more interesting is that the keycaps also have a lot of initial tone colors, which look quite unique. In addition, this keyboard supports RGB lighting function, and the default lighting effect is Miku style. Other parts such as key pullers and supplementary keycaps are also not saved:

The current pre-order price of this keyboard is 29,800 yen, which is about 8,200 yuan in New Taiwan dollars.
Versa H26 Case HATSUNE MIKU EDITION
Finally came to the casing part. Surprisingly, the case also has Miku elements. The fan filter on the top and the mounting baffle on the front are decorated with turquoise and fluorescent pink. This is the one that lacks Miku elements the most among all series of products. It might be more interesting if there is a painting of Miku on the transparent side panel, or if there is a small picture of Miku on the front of the console:

This case is currently out of stock for pre-order, and the original purchase quota has been filled. The author searched for past release information and found that the pre-sale price is 11,980 yen, which is about 3,300 yuan in New Taiwan dollars.
Pure Plus 12 RGB Case Fan HATSUNE MIKU EDITION
This is obviously matched with the previous “Versa H26 case HATSUNE MIKU EDITION”. Just pull it out and say something else. This is an RGB fan, but the outer frame is made of turquoise, Miku’s representative color, and there is a silhouette pattern of Miku in the center of the fan. Even if this fan is not paired with the Versa H26 case, it can also be installed on an ordinary case, as long as there is a transparent side window to see the luminous effect. Moreover, the entire set of products has three 12-centimeter fans and one fan speed controller. I believe players who like to modify will know how to play with this case fan after seeing this:

The current pre-order price for this fan set is 10,800 yen, which translates to about NT$3,000.
