TALKING ABOUT THE PRETTY LIGHTS

There’s more to those backlit keys than you might be aware. Razer’s Chroma system allows game developers to set colour profiles for particular games, highlighting useful keys as the fragging happens and adding ambience.

And other hardware manufacturers can get in on the act too, incorporating Chroma tech into their smart home products. Imagine your Philips Hue bulbs pulsing when you get hit.

Razer has some hardware of its own: a projector system with the prototype name of Project Ariana. At the very least it’ll project screen-matching ambient colours, but it might also show peripheral action, or display your game’s map up on the wall next to your screen.
