Most of you are probably aware of the Razer brand through their admittedly awesome and phenomenally expensive PC gaming peripherals. Before the end of the year, they'll have a presence in the Android world as well. According to a press release, Razer will be developing its own Android TV product with (of course) a focus on gaming. It's currently planned for release in the fall, which might line it up with the wider Android TV debut.

Razer has been expanding into creating its own gaming hardware as of late, with its Blade laptops and Edge Windows tablet getting impressive feedback from reviewers even with their sky-high price tags. The same hardware team will be making the Android TV device. Based on the company's tendency to over-engineer just about everything, we can assume that they'll be shooting for the "premium" Android TV segment, or possibly creating it. Given the company's deep ties to the PC gaming world, NVIDIA and their shiny Tegra K1 platform would be a natural choice, but there's no mention of hardware specifications so far.

The Razer Android TV device doesn't even have a name yet, they're simply calling it the "micro-console." It looks a lot like an Mac Mini painted black, which makes sense - the Razer Edge laptops are basically Macbooks designed by Batman. It will be interesting to see how Razer's first foray into Android hardware fares.
