A Mouse Shouldn’t Need an Internet Connection to Work Properly (Updated, It Doesn’t)

A mouse is a fundamental part of every desktop computer. It should just work, at all times. Odd, then, that Razer’s high-end Naga gaming mouse does exactly the opposite, requiring an internet connection if you’re going to stand any chance of using it. More »

Razer Project Fiona hits the FCC

We all know that when it comes to high end gaming peripherals, the name Razer is always somewhere on the list. Well, the company which specializes in gaming peripherals did come up with the idea of a high end gaming tablet, calling it Project Fiona in the process. We are pleased to say that Project Fiona has finally made her way into the latest FCC filings, although she is not called that by federal regulators who have spent their fair share of time with Project Fiona. Boy, do we envy the folks over at the FCC from time to time! It does seem as though the nunchuk-like controllers failed to make the grade in the FCC’s label location outline, although in an attached accessory list, it does point towards a Razer-branded controller, running on a 2800mAh battery that points toward the possibility of this prototype’s gamepads being independent of it, or could be detached. As for the tablet itself, a 5600mAh battery will drive its processing needs.

Bear in mind that what we see in the FCC prototype above could very well not be the final design, but at least it does go to show that the device itself is on an evolutionary path, and it is well on its way to being released to the masses.

Razer’s gaming tablet drops by the FCC, leaves handles at home

Razer's gaming tablet drops by the FCC, leaves handles at home

Looking for a gaming tablet you can really grab? Don’t look at the latest FCC filings then — Federal regulators appear to have snagged some exclusive hands-on time with Razer’s upcoming Project Fiona, and its trademark handlebars are nowhere in sight. The nunchuck-esque controllers we saw at CES didn’t make it in the FCC’s label location outline (seen above), but an attached accessory list makes note of a Razer-branded controller, powered by a 2800mAh battery, hinting that this prototype’s gamepads might well be independent or detachable. The same document lists a 5600mAh battery for the tablet itself, as well as a model number: RZ09-0093.

The Federal documents show a heavily redesigned device, falling in line with Razer’s recent community campaign: CEO Min-Liang Tan has been asking fans to help design Project Fiona on his Facebook page. Over the past several weeks, the community has weighed in on accessories, price, CPU / GPU configurations and more. This FCC prototype may not be the final design, but if nothing else, it’s proof that the device is evolving. Check out the Government’s inside scoop for yourself at the source link below.

Star Wars Razer Blade gaming laptop makes a splash, is truly unique

These days, carrying a gaming laptop around is not good enough, there is also the status that one wants to show off to the rest of the world. Even with copious amounts of money, you will be unable to pick up the Star Wars Razer Blade gaming laptop which is said to be worth more than a whopping $15,000, simply because this particular gaming laptop is literally one-of-a-kind, being made available to the winner in a sweepstakes that will see the lucky person walk away with this custom-designed Star Wars: The Old Republic Razer Blade gaming laptop. Of course, I suppose one of the more foolhardy millionaires who desperately wants one without leaving fate to chance might just attempt to pry the Star Wars Razer Blade gaming laptop from the sweepstakes winner by throwing a wad of cash in his or her direction, but that’s another story for a different day.

Robert ‘RazerGuy’ Krakoff, president of Razer USA, said, “Star Wars provides the benchmark by which all entertainment media is measured, and the Razer Blade is the standard for true portability, power and innovation in PC gaming. The opportunity to work with LucasArts and BioWare on this fun project is a testament to our common love of great entertainment and ensuring the best possible experience for fans.”

The Razer Blade maintains its insanely thin 0.88” profile despite carrying a 17.3” display that will certainly capture the attention of your eyes whenever you game with it. When merged with an ultra-slim power supply, the entire shebang tips the scales at just 6.46 pounds, now how about that? This is said to be less than 50% that of other gaming laptops in the market, automatically placing it on a pedestal as the lowest profile, lightest gaming laptop of its class. All that power without compromising on style and form factor? It certainly can be said to be a pint-sized killer, just like Master Yoda.

Sporting an SSD (solid-state drive) inside that delivers data up to three times faster than traditional hard drives, the Razer Blade will be powered by the latest Intel Core i7 processor and NVIDIA’s GeForce graphics processor for blistering performance even at high quality resolutions. Not only that, there will be the inclusion of Razer’s multi-award-winning Switchblade UI that integrates a LCD display/multi-touch panel and 10 dynamic adaptive tactile keys, letting you have full control of commands and functions within your fingertips. Feeling lucky?

Razer gives away custom Star Warsthemed Blade, may turn friends Imperial Guard red with envy

Razer has been big on Star Wars gaming gear, but never quite like this. Enter a free contest and there’s a chance to win a completely unique Star Wars: The Old Republic version of Razer’s Blade gaming laptop. The winner sees the system’s normally black shell replaced with a matte, laser-etched aluminum gray and the green backlighting dropped in favor of a subtler yellow matched to the MMORPG logo. Anyone who brings out this portable at a bring-your-own-computer gaming party is inevitably going to be the center of attention, although we have a feeling some would almost prefer the second-place bundle of peripherals — at an estimated worth of $15,000, the Star Wars Blade might be too precious to carry for all but the most well-heeled of fans.

Razer wants you to decide on Project Fiona’s price point

The other day we reported that Razer was looking to build Project Fiona based on feedback from the community, and last week the gaming peripheral company asked what sort of CPU/GPU configuration that gamers might prefer. Well now that that’s been settled, Razer is asking what sort of price point do gamers feel comfortable paying for such a device. The price points that Razer has offered range from $999-$1,299, to $1,999-$2,499 which we can’t help but feel will net you a pretty decent gaming desktop/laptop. If you’d like to add your opinion or to cast your vote, you can head on over to Razer’s CEO’s Facebook page and leave a comment.

For those unfamiliar, Project Fiona is a concept unveiled by Razer earlier this year at CES. It’s essentially a tablet with two controllers built on each side that come with analog controls and buttons to control the game with. Depending on what Razer ultimately ends up going with, there is a chance it could be powered by an ARM processor, or by an Intel processor that could go up to an i7. So what do you guys think? How much would you be willing to pay for Project Fiona?
