Razer announced on November 13 two gaming chairs that put the chair inside the game: the Razer Soma Pro, at $999.99, and the Soma Sensa HD Haptics, at $569.99. Both are on sale now and bring Razer's Sensa HD haptic technology built into the seat — six actuators that vibrate with the intensity, direction and distance of what happens on screen.
What the Soma Pro packs into one seat
The Soma Pro is the first gaming chair to combine three Razer technologies in a single seat: Sensa HD haptics, THX Spatial Audio, with speakers built in behind the head, and Chroma RGB lighting, with 16.8 million colors and reactive effects for more than 300 integrated games. The idea, according to the company, is for the player to feel, hear and see the game at the same time — with no external accessories.
The six haptic actuators deliver vibration across several zones of the backrest and seat, programmed to follow the action in real time: gunshots and explosions are felt, not just seen and heard. When a game has no native haptic support, the Razer Synapse software converts audio into vibration — the feature also works for movies and music.
The haptics-only version
The Soma Sensa HD Haptics brings the same six-actuator system and the same comfort base, but drops the speakers and the RGB: it is the option for those who just want to feel the game. The price difference is $430 versus the Soma Pro — and $70 versus the Soma Chroma, the line's first model, launched in the summer of 2026 for $499, which has only RGB lighting.
Comfort and control
Both chairs are wireless, with 2.4 GHz HyperSpeed and Bluetooth LE connections, and have a built-in control panel to adjust haptic intensity and switch profiles without leaving the game. Power comes from a single USB-C connection, plugged into a wall outlet or a standard power bank. The backrest reclines up to 132°, the seat uses dual-density cold-cured foam and there is a built-in lumbar arch to support the lower back. The Soma Pro also adds 4D armrests, a magnetic head cushion and a five-star aluminium alloy base.
The Soma line grew out of Project Madison, the immersive-chair prototype Razer showed at CES 2026 — which MMORPG tested for a week before launch, calling the Soma Pro “the chair of my dreams”. The warranty is 3 years for mechanisms and moving parts and 2 years for electronic components.
Prices outside the United States are €1,029.99 for the Soma Pro and €589.99 for the Soma Sensa HD Haptics in Europe, and £999.99 and £569.99 in the UK. Razer has not announced prices for Brazil.
