There are different levels of gaming immersion when it comes to haptics. On one side, you have controller haptics, which provide a bit of stimulation in games. There’s usually a nice little rumble from explosions or gunshots, and maybe a bit of vibration to give you some feedback while driving off-road.
On the other side, you have Razer’s two new gaming chairs, the $1,000 Soma Pro and the $570 Soma Sense HD Haptics, which feature some serious motors to really shake your spine. Both incorporate Razer Sensa HD Haptics, which the company first debuted as part of Project Esther back in 2024. There’s also THX Spatial Audio support and Razer Chroma RGB lighting built-in.
This isn’t an entirely new line for Razer. The Soma series is one the company has been working on for some years now. The Soma Chroma was the first wireless RGB gaming chair announced this summer for $499. Now Razer is rounding out its gaming chair lineup.
Both chairs come with six haptic motor actuators built into each seat, unlike the $300 Razer Freyja, which was essentially a wired cushion you placed on top of your existing chair and plugged in.
