Razer Base Station V2
Score: 62/100Rankings
The Razer Goliathus Extended Chroma combines a proven micro-textured cloth surface with vibrant edge-lit EL-wire RGB lighting. It offers extensive lighting customization via Razer Synapse but consumes a dedicated USB port for illumination.
The Base Station V2 Chroma is a premium aluminum headset stand with dual USB ports, built-in DAC, 7.1 surround sound, and eight-zone Chroma RGB lighting. It requires a PC USB connection for power and full functionality, lacking headset charging and console customization.

Professional reviewers praise the Goliathus Extended Chroma for retaining the proven cloth surface and rubber base of the non-RGB model while adding vibrant, non-blinding edge lighting that integrates tightly with Razer's Chroma ecosystem. The main criticism focuses on the inefficient use of a dedicated USB port and the lack of advanced controls on the lighting controller.
Everyday users love the pad's large size, smooth tracking, and the ability to sync lighting with other Razer gear, often rating it near perfect. Recurring complaints revolve around the single USB port dedicated to lighting, minor discomfort from the EL wire, and the pad's relatively narrow width for elbow support.
“High marks (average 4.6-4.7/5) for looks and sturdiness”
“Great way to declutter my desk”
“Disappointed that it doesn't charge my headset”
Ideal for users fully invested in Razer hardware who prioritize ecosystem sync over pad width.
Professional reviewers view it as a premium all-in-one docking solution with solid build and audio enhancements, but note reliance on Synapse may deter users who prefer standalone hardware.
Users give high marks (average 4.6-4.7/5), praising looks, sturdy construction and desk decluttering, while many complain about the lack of headset charging.
