In addition to announcing the Razer Huntsman V2 Analog gaming keyboard with adjustable actuation the other day, the company also released a Thunderbolt 4 dock (read our review) and updated their laptop stand. Only a month into the year, and it looks to be a busy one for the gaming peripheral and device company.
Razer Thunderbolt 4 Dock Chroma
Thunderbolt docks are almost a requirement these days, with laptops getting thinner and coming with fewer ports. Typically speaking, they are grey, usually sleek, and something you likely try to tuck away out of sight. The Razer Thunderbolt 4 Dock is a matte black dock, complete with Razer Chroma lighting — because, of course, it does.
As far as functionality is concerned, the dock is forward compatible with the new Thunderbolt 4 standard, which is starting to appear in new laptops. It features three USB-A ports, a whopping four USB Type-C Thunderbolt 4 ports, Ethernet, and a UHS-II SD card reader.
