The eSport is attracting more and more players, influential people, but also brands. And behind this segment in full economy and notoriety, there is also a business that team manufacturers are watching. Because the best teams and the best players are closely examined by video game fans in search of the best possible teams to be competitive.
Therefore, it is not uncommon to see the brands that approach ESport teams to design keyboards, mice or helmets with professionals to obtain their fans. We observe Logitech and Karmine Corp, Alienware and Team Liquid, Steelseries with FAZE or Bouler and Solar through the Skillkorp range. Now it will also be necessary to have Sony.
Go looking for the experience of electronic sports for professionals
The Japanese giant, in parallel with its PlayStation branch, which also has its rank of helmet and headphones pulse for PS5 and PC, has embarked on games audio accessories in 2022 with its headphones, headphones and inzone games monitors for PS5 and PC. A final change for a brand specialized in audio and screens. But now, Sony wants to see more and go to Esport. For this, the company expands its Inzone range.
“For the first time, we cover the entire game ecosystem: from the mouse helmet to the keyboard,” said one of Sony Inzone products managers. And the objective announced is simple: “Help players win.” On the occasion of Gamescom, Inzone, therefore, is enriched with new references to complete its panoply with the arrival of the first Sony stamped keyboard and a game mouse to accompany it. Together with them, a new hull of Inzona H9 II and headphones with Cable E9 promised more efficient.
But the specificity of the 2025 harvest will take place this time with the ESport FNATIC team to “make the competitive team accessible to the greatest number” while satisfying the specific needs of professionals. Because Fnatic is also an expert recognized for the quality of his team internally designed. Sony has been greatly based on Fnatic’s R&D experience that not only sets its logo. The slogan is also “designed to win” (designed to win) and it is not without reason to be asked for players to prove the prototypes, make their comments on ergonomics, design, materials and functions necessary for their competence needs.
Therefore, the H9 II helmet has seen the shape of its arc, the positioning of the control buttons in the slices of headphones or the seriously lightened weight (from 330 g of the model before 260 g) influenced by the players to reduce fatigue, unnecessary gestures or improve the comfort of the tournament to have a more natural and optimized use. The helmet is extremely comfortable and light on the head.
It benefits from a 360 ° space sound, imported homemade knowledge, which details each sound at stake, each movement and allows it to better perceive its origin, the reduction of active noise that allows the player to isolate thanks to the work of the AI and the drivers that are adapted from those of the excellent Sony 1000xm6 helmet. A helmet that can be connected or not with a double simultaneous connection if necessary (2.4 GHz and Bluetooth) for 30 hours of autonomy.
And the needs of professionals will also delight fans who wish to do too. With E9 headphones, there are multiple silicone or foam tips to comfortably adapt to all ears, satisfy those who want optimal or reinforced passive insulation. The comments of the players even allowed to reach this unprecedented closed structure in Sony. And these headphones, which can be used under a helmet, since they are well and perfectly linked to the ears, are already approved for Legends Apex competitions.
The first game keyboard signed Sony
But the main new products 2025 must be seen on the side of the devices with a KBD-H75 Inzone keyboard. These are the players who claimed the 75% format (without a particular digital pavement) to release the mouse space, an essential aspect for FPS fire games. Their returns have also guided the integration of rapid activation magnet switches, capable of reacting to minimum pressures and the frequency of surveys at 8,000 Hz for a maximum response capacity (time reduced to the minimum between the command and shipping to PC or Console).
The mouse-a mouse that accompanies it, Ultra Light (48.4 g), also meets the requirements of the players League of Legends From Fnactic that wanted an accessory to limit fatigue while maintaining precision, with a way to avoid the “feeling of contraction” (involuntary contraction of the muscles in case of stress, fatigue, etc.), an exclusive inzone sensor up to 30,000 dpi and a very lasting autonomy (90 hours) for this mouse that can be wired or not.
This mixture between Sony’s technological knowledge about sound (noise reduction, 360 ° space audio, sensors, etc.) and the knowledge of electronic sports and their needs by FNATIC is only in its beginnings. The two partners promise other additions to a range that already sees from par, to the mouse carpet designed depending on the type of game (FPS, Battle Royale, etc.). It remains to be seen if the highly high prices will prime esport fans who trust the experience of their favorite players to obtain the team “designed to win.”
