Razer’s Adaptive UI Promise Finally Becomes Real
Originally shown off at this year’s E3 convention, the Razer Switchblade laptop prototype (pictured above) quickly wowed the public while raising a bit of skepticism from the press. Will they be able to push this expensive and potentially confusing technology fully into the mainstream? Would a completely dynamic keyboard be too much for traditionalists to handle - or maybe even too complicated for early adopters?
Now with the debut of their Razer Blade Laptop (pictured below) this cutting edge interface is now soon to be a (pricey) reality. In practice however, their final design turned out much less radical than the original prototype. With only 10 “dynamic adaptive” keys quarantined off where the number pad usually appears, the rest of the keyboard is still your standard offering. A little disappointing for those waiting on the next big leap in user interfaces, but it’s a fun start.
