This year's Consumer Electronics Show is over. It may be the biggest show of the year, but when it came to smartphones and tablets, most companies seemed to be holding back, perhaps waiting for the Mobile World Congress show in February or CTIA this spring. Whatever the reason, this year's showing was a bit weak. Still, there were a few notable devices. Most of these tablets are predictable upgrades, but there are a couple nice… Read More

At last year’s CES, one of the most attention grabbing devices was Razer’s concept gaming laptop, the Switch Blade. It was about the size of a portable DVD player, but it had a jaw-dropping feature: individual programmable keys. Each key was programmable, allowing macro commands at the touch of a button. It was specifically designed for gaming, so you could do away with some of the keys gamers never used and fully customize your experience. The… Read More

If you followed CES last year, then you probably heard a bit about Razer and their prototype gaming laptop, the Switch Blade. It was a laptop with a fully programmable keyboard made for portable gaming with complex games–including titles like MMORPGs–and it wowed pretty much everyone as people threw awards at it like apples throw themselves to the ground because of gravity. In other words, it was a hit. The Switch Blade has undergone… Read More

The monthly sales figures read like a Penn State coach’s popularity poll, and the financial results were alarming. That doesn’t mean that there weren’t plenty of great games and peripherals to be had, but people just didn’t seem to be buying them. That has changed, in a big way. After a few ridiculously crowded months with major title dropping on top of… Read More

Many high-performance notebooks come in over… Read More

Joining the crowded ranks of the Nintendo Wii’s nunchucks, Sony’s PlayStation Move and Microsoft’s Kinect, Razer has announced that the PC will also be receiving a set of motion based controls, called the Hydra. Debuted at CES, the Hydra offers a similar experience to its motion control competitors, but does so in a unique way. In movements, the Hydra is similar to the PlayStation Move, while the actual controls are reminiscent of the Wii’s… Read More

There are a lot of interesting, even amazing devices to be found in Las Vegas this week at CES. Add to that list the newly unveiled Switchblade, designed by Razer. Razer has a long, and well earned reputation for making quality peripherals, specifically for the PC (although they are also set to debut a new set of products for the Xbox 360), but the Switchblade marks the first of this type of product for the company. In fact it marks the first… Read More

Like the original Epic, it features 17 buttons in a keypad configuration for executing complex macros on the fly, but Razer has also added three interchangeable side panels to change the fit, a… Read More

Firefox has gained a cult-like following for its speed, stability, and interface, but to diehard fans, third-party plug-ins remain by far its biggest selling point. Like adjusting the mirrors in a car and fixing the seat height before you leave the driveway, customizing your browser can make you feel a lot more comfortable on the Web. And like setting cruise control, a lot of them can make certain tasks a lot easier, too. Unfortunately,… Read More
