With everyone stuck at home, the Twinkly Razer Chroma Generation II might just be the thing for gamers to have a change in scenery. Twinkly partnered up with Razer, bringing the latter’s iconic Chroma RGB lighting ecosystem into the world of decorative lighting. Whether you are a gamer looking to add more colour to your gaming room, or just someone interested in swankier lights for your Christmas tree, read on for our review of this product.
Note that there are other types of lights in this series, such as the Curtains and the Cluster lights. All three types also come in differing lengths and number of lamps. For the purpose of this review, we tested the Strings 400 LEDs Multicolor variation, as you can see above.
What’s inside the box?
Neatly packaged inside is of course, the fairy lights. The Twinkly velcro straps make it easy to bundle up the lights, reducing the odds of a big mess typical of most fairy lights. In addition, the compact box itself makes the product easy to store.
A light touch
Ergonomically designed, the controller for the lights is comfortable to hold while adjusting the lights’ settings. Thanks to its Bluetooth and Wi-Fi compatibility, adjustments made with Razer Synapse 3 can easily be applied to the controller.
The Twinkly Chroma Connector app also allows users to manipulate the lights via smartphone. Users can use the app to scan the arrangement of the lights, allowing Twinkly’s 3D mapping function to create specific patterns and colour combinations. The app also allows users to sync and control multiple Twinkly lights.
The marriage of RGB and LED
Razer Chroma RGB enables the lights to shine in almost any colour imaginable. The lights can sync with your keyboard, mouse, and another Chroma RGB-supported devices thanks to Razer Synapse 3.
The LEDs are quite robust and are suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Whether you plan to decorate your Christmas tree or your curtains, these lights should do the trick.
