Razer’s Pompompurin Collection Hits Target With a Blind Box Twist
Razer’s Pompompurin collection, a keyboard, mouse, mouse mat and blind box keycaps, launched July 12 exclusively at Target to mark a Sanrio ranking win.
Razer dropped a three-piece Pompompurin collection at Target on July 12, marking the golden retriever’s fifth crown in the Sanrio Character Ranking. The keyboard, mouse and mouse mat arrived alongside a rose gold Hello Kitty mouse, three Nintendo Switch 2 skins and a randomized keycap blind box, all locked to a single retailer.
The cute rollout carries a sharper undercurrent. Razer has spent the past several months folding the blind box mechanic that fuels Pop Mart’s collectible business into gaming hardware, chrome rare pull and all, and a resale market is already stirring on eBay.
Three Pieces, One Golden Retriever
Pompompurin takes over three parts of the desk in Razer’s newest set, which the company says gives fans three ways to make Pompompurin part of the setup they return to daily.
- Razer Ornata V3 Tenkeyless, Pompompurin Edition – a low-profile keyboard with Mecha-Membrane switches, a magnetic wrist rest and Chroma RGB lighting glowing beneath the artwork.
- Razer DeathAdder Essential, Pompompurin Edition – the brand’s familiar right-handed mouse shape recolored in Pompompurin’s buttercup palette.
- Razer Gigantus V2 M, Pompompurin Edition – a $29.99 micro-weave cloth mouse mat with a 3 mm rubber foam base that keeps it planted during play.
Razer designed the three pieces to click together as a matching set rather than a single novelty item, with the mouse and mouse mat sharing artwork so the desk reads as one coordinated drop instead of three unrelated accessories.

Why Is This Sanrio Drop Locked to Target?
Razer sent all four new Sanrio launches to one retailer this time. The Pompompurin collection, a rose gold Hello Kitty mouse, three Switch 2 skins and a keycap blind box sell only at Target stores and Target.com, a shift from the direct Razer.com sales the brand used for some earlier collabs.
| Launch | Characters Featured | Format | Price or Odds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pompompurin Collection | Pompompurin | Keyboard, wired mouse and mouse mat | Mouse mat priced at $29.99 |
| DeathAdder Essential, Hello Kitty Edition | Hello Kitty | Metallic rose gold wired mouse | Not listed by Razer |
| Switch 2 Skins, Sanrio Edition | Cinnamoroll, Pompompurin, My Melody | Precision-cut vinyl console skins | $19.99 each |
| Keycap Blind Box, Sanrio Edition | Cinnamoroll, Pompompurin, Hello Kitty, Kuromi, My Melody, plus a chrome secret | Randomized figurine keycap | About 1 in 24 for the chrome variant |
The single-retailer approach is not new to this franchise. When Razer launched its Cinnamoroll wave in 2025, the entire lineup sold exclusively through Target as well, so this cycle deepens a pattern rather than starting one.
Fans outside the United States noticed within hours. TierraGamer, a gaming-focused social media account, flagged the same catch that has followed past Sanrio drops: the whole release ships only inside the United States, leaving international buyers watching from the sidelines again.
A Fifth Ranking Win in a Three-Decade Run
Razer picked a meaningful moment to expand the line. Pompompurin claimed first place in the 2026 Sanrio Character Ranking, his second consecutive win and fifth victory overall, and pulled in more than 7 million votes during his 30th anniversary year.
Razer’s own launch post on X tied the drop to his signature golden look and laidback charm, framing the collection as a tribute to a character having his biggest year yet.
The Blind Box Runs on One-in-24 Odds
The keycap blind box is the clearest import from the collectible toy world. Five standard figurines share even odds inside every box: Cinnamoroll’s pastel dreaminess, Hello Kitty’s signature red bow, Kuromi’s playful edge, My Melody’s soft pink styling and Pompompurin’s familiar golden warmth.
A sixth, chrome-plated design shows up in roughly one of every 24 boxes, a shot of about 4 percent at the rarest pull in the set. Razer frames the format as a new kind of collectible for the keyboard, one meant to be built one box at a time.
It is a familiar format wearing new packaging. Random pulls, even odds on the common designs and a rare chase piece are the exact mechanics that built the modern blind box toy aisle, just applied to a keycap instead of a vinyl figure.
A Resale Market Is Already Forming
Collectible mechanics tend to spawn secondary markets, and this one is no exception. Listings on eBay already show a sealed, pre-release DeathAdder Essential Pompompurin Edition asking $119.99, several times more than the $29.99 Razer charges for the matching mouse mat.
An older Kuromi Kraken V2 headset has moved 68 units on eBay at $156.99 each, evidence that Razer’s Sanrio pieces keep trading well after launch day rather than sitting on shelves.
The dynamic mirrors what is already playing out in the toy aisle. Pop Mart’s Labubu blind boxes built a global resale economy on the same random-pull format, and a recent Labubu Sanrio crossover drew huge demand alongside gripes from collectors who felt the collaboration fee outweighed the added value of the actual figure.
Razer has not said whether the Pompompurin box will see similar markups once initial stock clears, but the activity around earlier characters suggests the collectible layer is already doing exactly what it was built to do.
The Collab Calendar Keeps Getting Busier
Pompompurin is only the latest character to get this treatment. Razer’s tie-ins with Sanrio, and with pop culture broadly, have piled up at a pace few hardware brands attempt, recently adding a Pokémon Espeon and Umbreon collection to a lineup that already spans multiple franchises.
- 2022: Razer launches its first Hello Kitty and Friends setup, the starting point for the wider Sanrio partnership.
- October 2025: A Cinnamoroll and Hello Kitty base collection arrives at Target, including a $119.99 Ornata V3 Tenkeyless keyboard and a $109.99 Kraken V4 X headset.
- Early 2026: A full Kuromi Collection follows, including a gaming chair alongside the keyboard.
- March 2026: The Hello Kitty Kraken Kitty V2 headset arrives as a standalone release.
- July 2026: A $139.99 Kraken Kitty V2 BT Cinnamoroll Edition lands about a week before the Pompompurin collection, Hello Kitty mouse, Switch 2 skins and blind box all launch together on July 12.
Razer’s release calendar has stayed busy outside the Sanrio universe too. The company’s Hammerhead V3 X HyperSpeed earbuds reached Xbox and PS5 players this year, part of the same accelerated release rhythm now applied to Sanrio drops. Chairs remain part of the broader gaming desk conversation too, with deals like a big and tall gaming chair marked down for Prime Day running alongside these character tie-ins this month.
Sanrio itself is widening the net beyond hardware collabs. The company recently announced its first in-house game brand, Sanrio Games, with a party title set for simultaneous worldwide release on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 this fall. Pompompurin’s keyboard is one more entry point into a character roster Sanrio wants everywhere at once.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Razer Pompompurin Collection Available Outside the US?
Not yet, and no international date has been announced. The Pompompurin collection, Hello Kitty mouse, Switch 2 skins and blind box are Target exclusives sold only in US stores and on Target.com. That is a change from some recent Sanrio pieces; the Kraken Kitty V2 BT Cinnamoroll Edition, for instance, sold at both Target and Razer.com, which ships to more regions.
Could You Get Pompompurin Gear From Razer Before This Launch?
Yes. Razer Customs has offered personalized Pompompurin designs on select gear, including mouse mats and mice, since at least 2024, letting fans add a custom gamertag to the artwork. That customization tool remains a separate purchase path from the new Target-exclusive physical collection.
What Are the Odds of Pulling the Rare Blind Box Keycap?
Razer puts the chrome-plated secret variant in roughly one of every 24 boxes, or about a 4 percent chance. The other five standard designs, Cinnamoroll, Hello Kitty, Kuromi, My Melody and Pompompurin, are distributed evenly, so duplicates are possible if you buy more than one box.
Has Pompompurin Won the Sanrio Character Ranking Before?
Yes, four times before this year. The 2026 win, decided by a global fan vote that ran from April 8 to May 24, was his second consecutive victory and fifth overall, arriving during his 30th anniversary year.
