I don’t normally get on with desk risers, so I wasn’t entirely sure the Razer Monitor Stand Chroma would be my jam before testing. In some ways, they feel like a relic from a bygone era, originally whipped up to give your gaming monitor some height in the absence of new-age, fancy adjustable pedestals. But it turns out there are more reasons to pick one up other than ergonomics, and while this premium option has various flaws, it is an effective add-on.
Hold up, before you get excited, just know that the Razer Monitor Stand Chroma comes in at $199 / £169. Let’s be real – that’s a big ask since many of the best gaming monitor options practically boast the same features as this desk accessory, including height adjustment, a USB hub, and even RGB lighting. Ultimately, this add-on is for those of you with an older screen that could do with a little love, and even then, there’s a case to be made for just putting the $200 towards a new display.
