Razer Introduces the Firefly Gaming Mousepad with Customizable Lighting FX
Razer, a leader in connected devices and software for gamers, today announced the release of the Razer Firefly, the first hard gaming mouse mat with Razer's Chroma lighting feature. The Chroma feature adds 16.8 million color options and numerous customizable lighting effects to the mouse mat, including reactive, wave and spectrum cycling.
Razer Firefly has lighting along its left, right and bottom borders and can sync up with other Chroma enabled Razer devices for virtually limitless color combinations.
Engineered with all the trusted Razer gaming-grade performance features, the Razer Firefly has a micro-textured finish for the balance between control and speed. The optimized reflective surface ensures mouse movements translate to precise cursor movements and rapid in-game responsiveness.
"The Razer Firefly opens up a new category for the Chroma family," says Min-Liang Tan, Razer co-founder and CEO. "We've designed the Razer Firefly with the best components for a gaming mouse mat, along with the new, fully-customizable Chroma lighting. No one said you can't win with style."
The Razer Firefly joins other Chroma-enabled Razer devices, including the award-winning Razer DeathAdder Chroma and Razer Naga Epic Chroma gaming mice, the Razer BlackWidow Chroma gaming keyboard and Razer Kraken 7.1 Chroma headset. All Chroma products feature the option of 16.8 million customizable colors and a range of effects enabled through Razer's Synapse software. Synapse allows the devices to sync lighting colors and patterns between Chroma devices with the click of a button.
Razer Firefly will also be included in the Chroma SDK, with which game developers can integrate advanced lighting effects into their games for a more immersive experience.

at last with Chinese you know that you have for your money, worth .... 5$ you don't expect them to pass the month, Razer on the other hand .... you are surprised that after only 3 weeks and 2 days you already need to RMA a 79.49€ product

I be surely sticking with my SS glass mat which are very hard to come by now.
i got both ... only the Alumic survived. (and the wristrest was more comfortable too)Razer is notorious for ... oh well whatever.nothing wrong about Chroma... Razer on the other hand it's another problem, i had my load of Razer gear (mainly for testing) what i left with is a bunch of unusable stuff (well my Electra is still in one piece but i don't use it often) and a desk set made of a Roccat Alumic, Tyon black, Ryos TKL Pro, Roccat use Roccat Talk but it's not like Synapse also the only thing i am connected to is Roccat Grid which has his use with my Shield Tab (the Tyon is also a "Chroma" type of mouse but there is some evident difference with any Razer mouse i had)
technically only Razer is the problem in Razer's gears :roll: ;)
due to them, it has become a rule for me that if a peripheral or a piece of hardware need more than 2 RMA in less than 3 month : better put it aside.
