Tablet PCs have flirted with mobile gaming, and there are some fun titles out there that are playable on higher end Android and iPad devices. But it’s not a true gaming platform, at least not yet. Give Razer a chance to shake things up. The gaming peripheral maker is throwing its hat into the tablet [...]
Part of the fun at hammering away on a mechanical keyboard is the audible click that emanates with each keystroke. The downside?

Update: Now with video from the CES show floor!
Razer, best known for its line of gaming mice, sometimes uses CES to launch a product seemingly out of the company’s realm. One year it was the Mako 2.1 speakers, which is still the only speaker set in Razer’s product portfolio. And this year? Meet the Switchblade, a “mobile PC gaming concept design.”
The Switchblade is basically a netbook of sorts custom tailored for gamers and built around Intel’s Atom platform, likely Oak Trail. The idea is to bring a keyboard, mouse, and touchscreen display to mobile gaming, a combo that doesn’t really exist with today’s handheld consoles.
“The main problem with mobile PC gaming so far is that no one has been able to port the full mouse and keyboard experience onto a small size portable solution,” said Min-Liang Tan, CEO and Creative Director, Razer. “By combining adaptive on-the-fly controls and display, we managed to maintain the full tactile keyboard in a miniature computer while saving valuable screen estate.”
Not just an everyday netbook, the Switchblade comes with an “intelligent user interface that adjusts the configuration and key layout on-the-fly based on game content and user requirements” (the key graphics change, somewhat similar to the Optimus Maximum OLED keyboard), and it sports a custom overlay on top of Windows 7.
