Pikachu Wireless Mouse with Ear Buttons: Pikachu, I Click You!

Because Pokémon fans really like to immerse themselves in the franchise in every way possible (nothing wrong with that), Brando is selling an officially licensed wireless Pikachu mouse with a scroll wheel and ears that double as the mouse’s buttons. How about that! Obviously, whenever I’m using the scroll wheel, I’m going to pretend I’m petting sweet little Pikachu to sleep.

The $51 mouse is powered by a single AA battery and operates via an 800dpi optical sensor, with a wireless range of around 26 feet. You know, in case you like to stand REALLY far away from your computer screen to challenge your vision. Me? I can’t even read the top of my optometrist’s eye chart. I think it’s a smiley emoji?

Now all you need is a keyboard with Pokémon-themed keycaps to complete your Pokémon computer, or Poképuter as you should call it. You should probably also add a pair of googly eyes and a tail to your computer case while you’re at it.

Pikachu Centipede Body Pillows: Gotta Catch ‘Em Aaaaah!

What has a Pikachu head, entirely too many body segments, and nobody asked for? If you answered a Pikachu centipede body pillow, then you’re correct. Available from Chinese online retailer AliExpress, falling asleep with one of these ‘Very Long Pikachu Insect Plushes’ can almost guarantee a poor night’s sleep filled entirely with nightmares.

Available in four sizes (85cm, 1.1m, 1.4m, and 1.7m), the Creepachus cost between $21 and $90 depending on length, and I have the sneaking suspicion they’re not actually officially licensed products from Nintendo. Or a product that should exist at all for that matter.

Who comes up with this stuff? ‘You know what the world needs? Pikachu centipede body pillows,’ somebody actually thought to themselves before going the distance and having them manufactured. I mean that’s something I wouldn’t imagine even in my wildest dreams, and let me tell you – I’ve had some wild dreams. The things I’ve seen! But never ever a Pikachu centipede body pillow, just so we’re clear.

Pikachu + Chewbacca = Pikachewie

Given all of the things that Disney has purchased over the years, we’re surprised they have yet to buy Nintendo or at least the Pokémon franchise. If they did, they’d probably create some crazy Star Wars / Pokémon mashup merch. For now, we’ve got fans to make us some cool toys instead.

What you’re looking at here is what would happen in the unlikely event that Chewbacca and a Pikachu had a child. Isn’t Pikachewie is adorable? I mean not as cute as Baby Yoda, but he’d give Baby Groot a run for his money for sure. This fun mashup figure comes from custom toy maker Kody Koala, whose Etsy shop is loaded with weird and wonderful creations, like a buff version of the Domino’s Pizza Noid, a pudgy Sonic the Hedgehog, and Waluigi in a mech suit.

Pikachewie measures about 3.5″ tall and is made from cast resin with custom paint to give him his cherubic red cheeks. So trainers, get out your Poké Balls now and head over to Etsy, where you can catch this little guy for just $19. Just don’t make him mad or he might try and rip your other figures arms off.

Razer Pikachu Wireless Earbuds Charge in a Pokéball

When it comes to truly wireless headphones, the design of the charging case they come in is almost as important as the earbuds themselves. That said, it looks like accessory maker Razer has created the ultimate headphones for Pokémon fans. Images of a new set of Pikachu-themed wireless earbuds have been popping up in China.

The iconic red and white Pokéball is just the right place to catch a Pokémon, so I can think of no better place to catch a pair of yellow Pikachu earbuds, can you? The headphones have 13mm drivers, and support Bluetooth 5.0 with automatic pairing. But is anyone really asking about the technical specs for these? They come in a freaking Pokéball, so they’d sell even if they sounded like a Snorlax having a nightmare.

It looks like the headphones are part of a series of licensed Pokémon accessories from Razer, which also includes a mouse, a keyboard, and a mousepad, all done up in Pikachu yellow.

At this point, it’s unclear if Razer plans to sell the Pikachu headphones outside of China, but they’d be fools not to… assuming they can get the licensing rights.

Razer’s limited edition Pikachu earbuds come with a Pokéball charging case!!

I recommend wearing the earbuds upside down so you look like you’ve got Pikachu ears…

Razer’s limited edition Pikachu earbuds are awesome for all the right reasons. Not only are they an absolutely delightful looking pair of familiar yellow earbuds, they even push the limit by coming in a Pokéball shaped charging case – which is even more exceptional because it’s a ‘charging’ case and Pikachu’s an electric type Pokémon!

The adorable earbuds are essentially a limited variant of Razer’s Hammerhead earphones, but in yellow, and with a Pikachu graphic replacing the Razer triple-snake logo. The truly wireless earbuds dock magnetically into a Pokéball-shaped charging case, which may not be tiny enough to fit into your pocket, but which noob carries Pokéballs in their pockets? The earbud case has a tiny lanyard that’s perfect for strapping around your hand as you walk around and get jealous looks from fellow Pokémon lovers.

The earbuds provide 3 hours of playback time, and the spherical case supplies them with an additional 15 hours… you could say that your earphones are ‘resting’ within their Pokéball. The only bit of disappointing news is that the earbuds will be available only in China, via the Tmall e-commerce store starting 16th April.

When Your Pikachu Goes Bad It Becomes Infectachu

These creepy collectible figures answer the question: “What happens when your Pokémon gets really sick?” Apparently, its skin color changes, and becomes semi-transparent, allowing you to see its skeletal structure inside. Delightful!

Custom toymaker Scott Wilkowski is the mad mind behind these awesomely weird figures, inspired by Pikachu and Meowth. Both designs feature a double-cast design, with a terrifying skeleton inside, wrapped in a colorful see-through skin. While you could go for something bright like pink or purple, I prefer the yellow/black combo as it looks the sickliest.

The Meowthski figure is available from Scott’s website for $45, while the Infectachu is available from Woot Bear for $45 to $55. Keep an eye out on his Instagram page for updates, and lots of other disturbing designs.

The Pikachu Pen Chooses You!

Poké-maniacs, here’s one more unnecessary item for your vast collection of Pokémon merch – an official Pikachu fountain pen. The limited-edition pen features the classic Pikachu yellow and red color scheme, and will look great as ink hits the paper.

The set is based on the easy-to-use Lamy Safari model fountain pen, and comes with two interchangeable Pikachu poses to snap onto its red clip. It also includes a handsome yellow carrying case, and a weighted Poké Ball stand to keep the pen in when not in use.

This unique pen set was first offered in China last year. It’s now available for the first time in the U.S. via crowdshopping site Drop, where it’s selling for $159. It’s only up for order through 8/24/19, so you’ll want to move fast before they’re gone.
