What it is

Razer Chroma App controls and customizes RGB lighting on compatible devices. The app is standalone and includes Quick Effects for applying presets to one Chroma-enabled device or all devices together. For more detailed control, it offers Chroma Studio, Chroma Visualizer, and Chroma Connect. Listed effects include Breathing, Fire, Ripple, Spectrum Cycling, Starlight, Static, Wave, and Wheel, with 16.8 million colors. Lighting can also react to game events, such as turning devices red when a player’s health is low. Razer says hundreds of devices are supported, including Chroma-enabled accessories from more than 50 third-party hardware partners through Chroma Connect. Windows downloads are listed for Windows 11 x86-64 and Windows 10; the Mac preview supports macOS 15 Sequoia and later on Apple Silicon Macs. The app is free: its plan is free. Razer also offers an open, free Chroma SDK for developers building experiences for Chroma-enabled devices.
