Razer and Philips teamed up to bring a light show to gamers. They are enhancing the Chroma lighting effects that games produce in your RGB LED keyboard, mouse, mousepad, and other devices. And, in a follow-up to last year’s Project Ariana, they are combining Razer’s Chroma lights with Philips Hue LED lightbulbs. It turns the entire room into a gamer’s disco fantasy.

Razer is synchronizing its Chroma-enabled devices with the Philips Huge Entertainment applications programming interface. So now the entire room lights up with a more immersive gaming experience, where the lights could all turn red suddenly if you get shot in a first-person shooter game.
