Razer has announced new products that are
focused on new and upcoming gaming experiences, along with a new ‘modular’
gaming PC. Razer also introduced an insane Eracing Simulator concept that
simulates one of the most immersive racing experience to date.
The
first one, the Razer Kishi universal mobile gaming controllers is designed as
complementary device for cloud gaming mobile experiences. The controller is
similar to the Razer Junglecat that was announced for the Razer Phone 2 last
year, except this one has compatibility for a lot more devices, including the
iPhone and other android phones.
The
highlight feature of this controller is that it is part of NVIDIA GeForce Now
Cloud Gaming Program. This allows users to play their high demanding PC games
on their low powered devices through NVIDIA’s cloud gaming platform. The
controller can connect to mobile devices via a hidden USB-C or Apple Lightning
connection and directly interface with GeForce Now for Ultra-low latency native
and cloud game control.
The
second product that Razer announced is their Sila 5G home router that is a
device focused on offering offer ultra-low latency during both stationary and
mobile gameplay. The router features an in-built battery and 5G antennae for
impromptu, latency-free connections on the go. This high-speed networking
device is also loaded with Razer’s
proprietary FasTrack engine which is Razers custom adaptive QoS (quality of
service) feature. The service will continually monitor connections and
prioritizes bandwidth for applications and devices for high-speed gaming &
streaming.
For
those PC gaming enthusiasts, Razer also launched their Tomahawk Gaming Desktop
which has a different take on the idea of a modular gaming desktop.
Traditionally speaking, a PC is modular by design. But Razer is re-thinking the
idea along the lines with Intel’s newly announced NUC compute modules. The
Tomahawk will essentially contain a connector board with PCIe 16x slots in
which users can slot in the Intel NUC 9 Extreme Compute Element and up to
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Super graphics. Both the RAM and SSD modules on the NUC
card will be upgradeable too.
And
finally, in the crazy world of concept devices, Razer unveiled the Razer
Eracing Simulator concept. It is essentially a giant racing simulator running
Project CARS pro with a every features designed to give users the ultimate
racing simulation. It has an insane 128-inch custom black projection surface
with 202-degree field-of-view, anodized aluminum and carbon fiber steering wheel,
magnetic paddles and adjustable buttons for gear shifting and precise driver
aide, paired to a three-pedal system below. The straps on the seat can even
tighten during gameplay to simulate g-forces while driving.
