Meet the new Razer Base Station V2 Chroma. Built for both form and function, this Chroma RGB headset stand delivers utility through a 2-port USB hub for your gaming gear. Beyond putting your gaming headset on a pedestal, it elevates your audio experience with a 3.5mm combo port with built-in DAC that converts stereo into 7.1 surround sound for deeper immersion.

Available in Classic Black, Mercury, and Quartz: https://www.razer.com/gaming-headsets-and-audio-accessories/razer-base-station-v2-chroma/RC21-01510100-R3U1

How do you set this up to use a 3.5mm kraken headset with the Xbox Series X?

It's all plugged in but nothing happening?

I managed to find new stock of the old one, so much nicer and brightttttt RGB ;)
Although the top needs some padding or tape to prevent headphone damage, massive oversight...

I liked squared shape of the previous one.

Just got my V2 and its great! However since I am a laptop user and moving my laptop quite a lot, im looking for a way to keep the lights on, without being connected to the PC. Now i actually found a pretty neat workaround, which is connecting my mobile phone to the V2 via an usb to usb C adapter. The lights work, however its only the basic effect and the chroma mobile app does not detect the V2 as a device. Anyone knows a way how to control the lights via the mobile phone? Razer employees, if You are reading this: Please enable support for the V2 via mobile. Im no mobile app programmer, but a thing like this, should be easily added via an update of the app :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye_:

Hi, my base station V2 arrived today, all set up and looks great. It sounds amazing already, but so far I haven't managed to get an activation key for the 7.1 software. Does anyone know how long after registering the product I receive my activation key for the 7.1 software please?


I'm sure you received your code by now, but I was having the same issue. After a couple hours with no activation key email I logged onto Razer support and chatted with a representative.

The official response is that I "need to wait 24 hours to receive a code".

I'm not sure why it would take 24 hours to send a software activation key, but the only response they would give is that it is because the software is only released with a limited number of products or some such.

Anyway, since there may be others who are wondering how long they might have to wait on an activation key so I thought I'd share my interaction with Razer support.

Nope, nothing on the device. Only controllable via PC software. (Razer Synapse 3).


Thank you for the quick responses

Appreciate the quick response, do you know if profiles on this device are a thing? Then maybe i can keep it on a version that keeps the chroma design i chose? The Volume and Sound part of the device probably won’t be used I have Steelseries 7P, just mainly looking for the Colour functions and Aesthetic.

Hmmm... is it me or the old one still looks better....

Yeah, I'm inclined to think so too. 😅

It depends what you mean by work. it should light up and have an LED pattern and cycle through. But you will have no control over it. It will just be a stand with a USB hub and audio port that lights up, without being able to control the chroma or audio options (No volume on the device, no EQ settings on device). But it is cool.

Does this work without PC? I want to purchase this for a Console Setup and it wont be connected into a PC at all it could be set up is it able to hold profiles or anything? Any help is appreciated.

V1 Chroma looks better, a shame as it's now hard to find at a decent price :slightly_sad: I am not sure on this version, looks a bit boring compared.

Yes, the design of the V1 was bolder, I personally prefer it too but I understand the safer approach.

Would really love if this was supported in the xbox app. Id so make it an accessory to go with my new xbox series x, as well as maybe the mouse matt. It would make my living room pop LOL

I just wish synapse 3 came to Xbox series x, then I’d get it.

Looks great! It seems great and it even comes with chroma rgb, but it doesn’t have 3 USB ports like the first one, but the 3.5 combo port definitely makes up for it.

does the built in DAC for 7.1 audio work on the 2 USB ports as well? Since I'm getting a Razer Kraken Ultimate and its connection is USB-A so I would have to plug in into one of those 2 ports, but from what I have read, it seems like the DAC is built in only onto the 3.5mm audio jack, any thoughts?

I still like the v1 better. But that is only my opinion

I like the V2 better which I purchased today I purchased the quartz edition I do wish the v2 had the third usb a but I can absolutely deal with two and a 3.5 mm headphone jack!!!
