CHROMA APPS

Integrate Razer Chroma-enabled devices with your games and applications for an immersive lighting experience. When you launch a program integrated with a Chroma app, the app automatically takes control of your device's lighting.

CHROMA APPS INTERFACE

WHAT ARE CHROMA APPS?: Chroma Apps are software that allow a Razer Chroma-enabled device to integrate with games and applications for a truly immersive lighting experience. When you launch a program that is integrated with Chroma Apps, your device's lighting will be taken over by the corresponding Chroma app. When you launch another program that has Chroma Apps support but with higher priority, Chroma Apps will also prioritize its integration with the latter program.

APP PRIORITY LIST: For programs integrated with multiple chroma apps, the app at the top of the app priority list will take control. You can rearrange the priority by dragging and dropping Chroma apps or toggle each app on or off as needed.

Chroma Workshop: Explore all the apps, games, and profiles compatible with Chroma apps.
