Microsoft Details Secret ‘Pocketable’ Surface Device in Leaked Email | Latest News

Microsoft has been working on a new Surface for at least two years. Codenamed Andromeda is a device that has been featured on patents, reports, and operating systems several times and designs two screens. According to the Microsoft internal document from The Verge, it also has a flexible Surface device in its pocket.

Microsoft describes the Andromeda project as something that has been quietly incubated by the company, and calls it a "new and fatal" device to influence the overall Surface map and to blur the "computer" and "mobile" creates "This is a new retail pure factor factor that collects innovative, new hardware and software experiences to create a personal and versatile PC experience." Thurrott actually posted some of Microsoft's plans early this month, and Numerama first released the Andromeda code last year. Microsoft has refused to comment on The Verge from Andromeda.

Microsoft and Razer are working on Xbox keyboard and mouse support - Latest News

Microsoft has been teasing keyboard and mouse support for the Xbox One for years now, but it’s finally becoming a reality soon. The software giant has partnered with Razer to enable its Chroma RGB lighting support in Xbox games. Chroma allows players to have an assortment of colors light up on a keyboard, and it’s also useful for spotting ability cooldowns in games like Overwatch. Windows Central reports that Microsoft started briefing developers about the upcoming support earlier this year, and The Verge can confirm the partnership is genuine.

Sources familiar with Microsoft’s plans tell The Verge that Microsoft and Razer presented their plans at the annual Xfest event for developers earlier this year. Razer is planning to allow game developers to tap into its API to bring Chroma lighting effects to games. If all goes according to plan, Xbox One users will start to make use of this later this year with Microsoft’s fall update for the Xbox.
