Razer’s New Gaming Chair Rattles Your Spine and Blasts Your Ears in Pursuit of ‘Immersion’

Razer’s New Gaming Chair Rattles Your Spine and Blasts Your Ears in Pursuit of ‘Immersion’

Razer's Soma Pro chair combines some of the company's weirdest (and somehow still appealing) immersion tech.

Razer’s next big black-and-green gamer chair is designed to make you hear and feel every in-game gunshot or the spine-rattling rumble of a speeding motorcycle. The Razer Soma Pro takes the same basic ergonomic design of the Soma Chroma from earlier this year but adds in back and bottom haptics alongside speakers built into the neck rest.

There are two new chairs filling out Razer’s Soma line, one called the Soma Sensa HD Haptics and the other a top-end throne, the Soma Pro. As the names suggest, the $500 Chroma is only coupled with the RGB strip that runs around the head rest. The step up from that base chair loses the lights but gains the Sensa HD Haptic suite. That $570 version includes six actuators positioned around the space for your lumbar that vibrate and rumble during your gaming sessions. The $1,000 Pro chair combines the RGB and haptics and brings the whole suite together with front-facing speakers positioned just behind your ears.

Us lucky folk at Gizmodo already had the chance to sit in a prototype version of this chair at CES 2026, back when it was dubbed “Project Madison.” In essence, the Soma Pro combines a Razer Freyja haptics cushion and a Razer Clio neck rest speaker into a single seat. All these “immersive”
