Razer has always leaned in hard to the PC gaming stereotype of gaudy, glowing LED lights and other customizable neon aesthetics, and now it’s going to let you verbally control those lights using Amazon’s Alexa. Today at CES, Razer announced a new Alexa integration for its Chroma lighting system, which is the underlying software suite that coordinates color schemes for Razer mice, keyboards, headsets, and other accessories. You’ll now be able to speak through your Razer headset’s microphone to change those colors and how frequently they change or pulsate.

Some examples include, “Alexa, ask Chroma to change my lighting profile to FPS mode,” or, “Alexa, sync all of my devices to my team color.” But because of how Chroma and Synapse 3, Razer’s companion hardware configuration tool, function as a robust controller of both hardware and software, you can also now use Alexa to change PC settings and even launch games. For instance, Razer says you can ask Alexa to launch Overwatch via Chroma and change the DPI settings on your monitor via Razer Synapse.
