Razer revealed the new Chroma Hardware Development Kit (HDK) which is a modular lighting system that enables users to add RGB lighting on anything.

Chroma color customization kit

You can now take Razer Chroma beyond your gaming gear with the new HDK. It features everything you need to instantly plug in and deck your room out in fantastic customized colors in order to experience a full spectrum control.

You have at your disposal individually controllable light and 16.8 million color options. The LED strips are flexible, compact and bendable and they’ll fit the edges of your PC case or your desk. In case you decide that you need even more color you have the ability to add four channels of lighting output.

Razer Synapse 3 allows you to synchronize lighting presets on other Razer Chroma-enabled devices with the LED strips to create a unified look across your room. You can use the Razer Chroma SDK to get some more advanced effects in order to create in-game lighting alerts and actions for a complete gaming immersion.
