Razer Soma Chroma Review: Comfortable, Supportive, and Weird

I’ve always had something of a love-hate relationship with gaming chairs. A good one can be supremely comfortable, supportive, and meaningfully beneficial to your gaming experience, but they can also be quite ugly at times. Whenever I’ve used a gaming chair, I’ve felt like it was at odds with my broader setup—if you’ve got a carefully curated office or gaming area, the technical, “gamerfied” look of a traditional gaming chair can sometimes be an eyesore. I’m pleased to say that the new Razer Soma Chroma performs this tightrope act better than most of its contemporaries, and has earned its place as my primary chair for the foreseeable future.
