Razer’s keyboard and mouse for the Xbox One is $249 and arrives in March

Razer has officially unveiled pricing for its keyboard and mouse set for the Xbox One. Dubbed the Razer Turret, it’s the first wireless keyboard and mouse for Microsoft’s consoles, and it includes Razer’s Chroma lighting support. The Turret works over a 2.4GHz wireless connection via a dongle, and Razer claims the battery life will be up to 40 hours. Razer is pricing the Turret at $249.99, a premium price considering the Xbox One now supports any keyboard or mouse.

Razer’s keyboard includes mechanical switches, and there’s also an Xbox button to navigate to the home interface on the Xbox One dashboard. Razer has also included a palm rest that’s adjustable. The mouse for the Xbox One is based on the company’s wireless Razer Mamba. Razer is planning to release the Turret in Q1 2019, and preorders are beginning today in the Microsoft Store for $249.99. Microsoft lists the Razer Turret for delivery in March.

Microsoft and Razer have partnered closed on Xbox One keyboard and mouse support. Microsoft enabled the support last month with an Xbox One update, but it will require more games to fully support it. Right now, only a small number of games support keyboard and mouse on Xbox One, including Fortnite, Warframe, Bomber Crew, Deep Rock Galactic, Strange Brigade, Vermintide 2, War Thunder, and X-Morph Defense.

Game developers will need to opt-in to enable keyboard and mouse support in Xbox One games, and Fortnite is only matching these gamers with the same inputs to keep play balanced. Most modern wired or wireless USB keyboards and mice will also work on the Xbox One, so you don’t have to pick up Razer’s $249 combo to play.

Mozilla Firefox is testing out two new experimental extensions that let users further customize their browser and view tabs together more easily. The first one is called Firefox Color and it lets you change the colors of the background, text, icons, and the toolbar. Whatever you change can be saved and you can also choose to share your color schemes with others. Firefox also has a selection of pre-made color themes that you can choose from if you don’t want to customize every single color yourself. The second feature that Firefox is testing is called Side View and it does basically what it sounds like: you can view two browser tabs at once in the same tab and window. Without the feature, you can already line up two windows side by... Continue reading… from The Verge - All Posts https://ift.tt/2LZWa7h

How to install Fortnite on Android

Epic Games launched its battle royale hit Fortnite on Android devices last week with a big catch: it was exclusive to Samsung-made phones for a few days as a way to help market the new Samsung Galaxy Note 9. Now, the exclusivity period appears to be over, and beta invite codes are going out to select users of non-Samsung phones like the Google Pixel 2 XL. If you’re itching to dive off the battle bus on mobile, you might have to hold on just a little while longer: there appears to be a waiting list, just like there was when the game launched on iOS. There’s also a bit of trickiness involving exactly how you get the app because Epic announced it would be distributing the Android version of Fortnite on its own terms . Last week, the app was distributed through Samsung’s app store, and Epic is using its own website and a Fortnite Installer program to distribute the game more widely on all compatible Android devices. (Epic CEO Tim Sweeney said this is basically to avoid paying Google...
