Razer unveils gaming chairs with six haptic motors and built-in audio
Razer has introduced two gaming chairs, the Soma Pro and the Soma Sense HD.
The Pro costs $999, while the Sense HD costs $570.
Each chair has six built-in haptic motors that Razer says can make game effects feel different depending on their direction and distance.
The chairs also include THX Spatial Audio support and Razer Chroma RGB lighting.
More than 100 PC games support the haptics directly, while an audio-to-vibration feature is intended to work with other games, films and music.
Both chairs need power through USB-C, and a power adapter or battery pack is not included.
Razer says the chairs have warranties covering their mechanisms and moving parts for three years and their electronic parts for two years.
