Winner Razer Switchblade

The killer tech in this incredible, ultra-portable, gaming “concept PC” – you can’t actually buy it yet – is an infinitely customisable keyboard, where each key can change its purpose and even appearance to suit the game being played. The tech has made its way into the just-unleashed Razer Blade laptop, and if Razer decides to licence its technology further afield, who knows where we’ll see it appearing next. Smartphones? Tablets? Spaceships? A mouth-watering prospect.

The PC-like Switchblade requires no mouse as its keys adjust their configuration to fit what you’re playing – so all your weapons are to hand in a first person shooter, for instance. A multitouch screen adds another dimension to this pocket-sized gaming demon.

The Razer looks set to come to life in Asia first with Chinese internet company Tencent said to be working in collaboration with Razer to develop games for the platform; four titles could be pre-installed on the device.

Developed with Intel, expect it to use the company's latest low-voltage processor technology when it launches.
