Razer’s Soma Chroma is the wireless RGB gaming chair your setup didn’t know it needed, and it’s way better than I expected
Razer announced the Soma Chroma, a wireless RGB gaming chair featuring customizable lighting effects. Despite being a product that answers no practical question, the chair represents Razer’s continued expansion into peripheral gaming hardware, following its decade-long strategy of adding RGB illumination to various tech products.
The chair features a neon-soaked headrest and wireless RGB capabilities, allowing for customizable lighting that can synchronize with other Razer peripherals. While the RGB lighting provides no functional benefit to gaming performance—despite humorous suggestions that glowing furniture might improve aim in competitive titles—the chair is noted for being exceptionally well-built and thoughtfully designed.
Reviewers describe the Soma Chroma as “functional performance art,” suggesting that despite its absurdist premise of adding premium lighting to a seat, Razer has executed the concept with legitimate quality. The chair appears to balance aesthetics with actual comfort and durability, making it a serious gaming chair that happens to feature advanced RGB capabilities rather than a pure gimmick.
The Soma Chroma announcement marks another step in Razer’s aggressive diversification strategy, having integrated Chroma RGB lighting into everything from mousepads to beverage coasters. The gaming chair represents how extensively the company has pushed this concept, transforming essential gaming furniture into a premium lighting showcase.
