Razer is known for its gaming hardware, but also for its peripherals. Its first product was a gaming mouse, after all. Now, its latest peripheral is a USB dock made for PC handhelds, phones, and other extendable mobile devices.
Razer has announced the Razer Handheld Dock Chroma, a versatile docking station built for mobile and handheld gaming. The Handheld Dock Chroma boasts a 6-in-1 design, featuring a gigabit ethernet port, multiple USB connections, and an HDMI output. This comprehensive array of ports enables users to connect their devices to a wider range of peripherals, including external displays, keyboards, mice, and other accessories, effectively turning a phone, tablet, or handheld into a more robust gaming console. Presumably, it could also work for productivity dock environments like Samsung DeX, but Razer didn’t confirm that.
In addition to its connectivity features, the dock offers 100W power passthrough capability, ensuring devices remain charged during extended gaming sessions. The dock itself is built with a durable aluminum construction and sports a foldable design for convenient portability. It also features customizable RGB lighting via Razer Chroma—it’s not a Razer product if it doesn’t feature over-the-top RGB lighting, after all.
There are tons of docks like this one, so this isn’t a particularly new or groundbreaking product category. But the fact that it has 100W passthrough and a lot of USB ports for a relatively low price tag makes it a compelling option. We have a list of our favorite docks for handhelds, and you can check it out and compare Razer’s USB dock with other options available on the market, but this one ticks all the right boxes and has RGB lighting while also being cheaper than many of the options on that list.
The Razer Handheld Dock Chroma is set for a wider release at RazerStores and authorized retailers on January 30, 2025. Pre-orders are live now on Razer’s website for $79.99.
