I know I'm not going to switch from my PC ever, I tried that once before and couldn't stand it. Came back pretty quickly.

Yeah I wonder too. Being Razer who knows, could be a tournament or competition or they are just planning to unveil a new product, who knows.

aww its Razer. how disappointing.

But anyway with BF3, DOTA2, new CS, and SC2 still going strong, pc gaming is going to be at its best since ~'04

Their marketing department told me their Blue MX Switches were "special", like those people at Goodwill.

PC Gaming isn't dead.  Yet.

And to believe a company completely dependent on PC Gaming not being dead is like listening to Intel/Microsoft Vs IBM/HP on the future of PC computing.

I agree, being razer there's a good chance it's just going to be a new product unveiling that they want to hype up. But Razer isn't completely dependent on PC gaming, they have console headsets and that xbox controller that they came out with a little while ago. Although I don't know why they'd bother, most of the console players I know look at it and just say they see no reason to use it over their regular controllers. And I still really like that Hydra, not so much as a gaming device, but I'm in love with the technology behind it and I think there is great potential for some interesting hacks to come out for people to adapt it for other tasks.
