Razer is known for pumping out a constant stream of new peripherals, and more often than not some are to a singular audience, The Razer Monitor Stand might be one of those products but I didn’t know I needed it until I had it. It’s not a groundbreaking innovation, but it’s a well-designed, efficient, and stylish addition to any gaming or workstation setup. With a sleek black anodized aluminum build, USB-C hub integration, and Chroma RGB lighting, it checks a lot of boxes for those looking to streamline their desk space.
One of the standout features is its built-in 4-port USB-C hub, which includes two USB 3.2 Type-A ports, a USB 3.2 Type-C port, and HDMI 2.0 support. This makes it incredibly convenient for connecting essential devices without cluttering your desk with extra cables. The ergonomic height adjustment is another plus, raising your monitor to a more comfortable viewing level, reducing strain during long work or gaming sessions. Not just for the monitor this shelf also provides a space to store peripherals, from laptops and handhelds to phones and stationery underneith.
Beyond practicality, Razer’s signature Chroma RGB integration gives this stand an extra edge. The remappable Chroma RGB button allows users to cycle through lighting presets or customize it for quick actions like launching apps or muting audio. If you already own other Razer gear, syncing everything for a cohesive look is a no-brainer. More importantly, unlike many RGB accessories, this one doesn’t require an external power source, making it lightweight and easy to move without extra cables.
That said, the premium build comes with a premium price tag. If you’re looking for a more budget-friendly stand or one that supports multiple monitors, there are other options to consider. However, finding an aluminum riser in black that doesn’t bend under the weight of a Thunderbolt monitor while being super light weight is surprisingly difficult—and this one does the job perfectly. The added USB hub and RGB lighting make it feel worth the investment, particularly for those who value both form and function in their setup.
The Razer Monitor Stand is a pricey but high-quality addition to any workspace. If you’re already invested in Razer’s ecosystem or want a durable, stylish stand with extra functionality, it’s a solid buy. For those seeking a minimal yet high-performance solution, this is one of the best options out there.
