Razer details Soma Chroma featuring reactive RGB and wireless connectivity

Razer has announced the Soma Chroma, marking the brand's first official entry into the RGB-enabled gaming chair market. Designed as a cornerstone for immersive setups, the chair combines real-time reactive illumination with flexible power options and ergonomic body support.

The defining feature of the Soma Chroma is its integration with the Razer Chroma RGB ecosystem. Built to act as an active extension of a user's desktop environment, the integrated lighting zone responds dynamically to on-screen actions across more than 300 supported game titles. Users can fully customise lighting profiles via Razer Synapse, which provides access to 16.8 million colours and 10 preset lighting effects.

To maintain a clean station free of cable clutter, the chair draws power via a single USB-C connection. This allows users to run the lighting array off a standard power bank, preventing the seat from being physically tethered to a wall outlet or desk. An integrated hardware control panel handles adjustments on the fly, allowing users to cycle through lighting effects, adjust brightness, toggle between PC inputs via a 2.4G wireless USB dongle, and connect to mobile devices running the Razer Furniture App.

The chair features a built-in ergonomic lumbar arch to promote a neutral sitting posture, along with a foam seat cushion designed to distribute pressure. Underneath the upholstery, the assembly utilises a reinforced steel frame paired with a durable 5-star steel wheelbase. Moreover, the backrest has a reclining mechanism of up to 155°. The Soma Chroma is now available for £499.99/$499.99/€529.99.

KitGuru says: While this does look cool, I would worry about anyone using a reflective monitor. Those lights will be bouncing right off the surface of any QD-OLED.
