Razer

Razer announced their Forge TV. It is an Android TV set-top box. It is being powered by a quad-core processor and “gaming-grade graphics”.

The box can connect to Razer’s own Cortex software. How this works, is that you run the Razer Cortex software on your computer which will then give you access to your gaming library on your Forge TV. Razer is promising “ultra-low latency” and up to full HD (1080p) resolution over Wi-Fi or ethernet.

However you will need a PC with a dual-core CPU or higher You will also need a GPU that is from the HD5000 series or the GTX580 or higher.

There are two option to play games on your Forge TV. The first being  is the Razer Turret. It is a wireless gaming mouse and lapboard combo and connects over Bluetooth 4.0 LE.

The second option is to use the Razer Serval, which looks a lot like the Xbox 360/One controller. The controller itself can retain up to four unique device pairings, so you can easily go from your computer to your Forge TV to your smartphone to your tablet. The Forge TV can support up to four controllers at one time.
