I have the Philips Hue Play bar and Razer Synapse 3. Its works initially till a software update on Synapse then its experience random Play bar not lighting up.

I uninstall both Philips Hue and Synapse and install just the Synapse 3. Lucky for me it works.

I want to buy Philips hue play light bar.

Bro, do I need Philips Hue bridge to connect Philips hue play light bar to Razer Synapse 3? Hoping for your reply. Thanks

Or at least offer a kit to change over the case that already exists in a DYI fashion. Honestly it wouldn't be that hard to replace the bottom two lights and the front panel, but a bit expensive to change the entire case just for Chroma. Hope they do think of away to change out some of the lighting!

I was wondering about these, I was thinking 4 for the case and 2 for the monitor is that possible I know one box can handle 4, but is 4 too much inside the PC case?

I'm assuming you can hook up two of these to the same PC without any issue?

On the wish list is Razer Antec case. /the-maingear-r2-razer-edition.24956/ Now to add the lighting would make it stellar!

This is great and all, but usefulness is limited at best until Synapse 3 is out of beta. As it is it can only sync with devices recognized by Synapse 3 beta, presumably just the Lancehead and Lancehead TE

i cant wait to pick this up and try it for myself!

OPS OPS OPS... Only other chroma device supported is Lancehead and Lancehed te..
I bought it, and is SO DISAPPOINTED..!! It is not writen any where, I just found out when I installed it, at it does not work..!!

Just love it. Would look awesome in my pc, or next years, when I probably start all over again with a new base comp. Having that perfect chroma setup would probably even contend, memory wise, with the time I set up my first fully tailored water cooling, with a tank taken from an old VW Golf. ^^ But this would probably, at least, be "street legal". Except for beauty.

Is the documentation on the SDK for the Hardware Development Kit available anywhere? The led strips just flash when I try to follow the existing documentation for the REST API of chromalink enabled devices.

My HDK arrived today and I must say that I've never been more disappointed with a Razer product before.

First off, the software that's supposed to run this thing only supports the HDK and the Lancehead 'for now'. So syncing the lights is only possible with the damn mouse. (I have Blackwidow Chroma V2 and Firefly Mousepad, works with none of these.) And the while fiddling around with the software, later it completely lost its function to change the HDK and Lancehead's lights too.

Also, the HDK doesn't support light sync with games 'for now'. You your Razer peripherals have special lighting effects with in-game events in games like Overwatch and Diablo 3? Well the light strips don't have that function! The lights just freeze up when you load up your game. This is actually what disappoints me the most. Because the sole reason I bought the HDK was because I was hoping that the light strips attached behind my monitor would sync with the in-game events and thus providing me with a more immersive environment.

So basically as of now the HDK is an overpriced piece of ****. That does nothing it was advertised for. Seriously, get your **** together Razer and sell don't sell products that are still in beta (alpha I would say) phase!

Stay away from this product at least 'for now' and don't get ****ed in the ass like me. So frustrated with the hours that I wasted trying to make this work.
