The hardware was first hinted at when Google revealed its Android TV software over the summer, and we now have the details and specs. Forge TV boasts a Snapdragon 805 processor, Quad-Core Krait 450 CPU (2.5GHz per core), 16 GB of storage, 2 GB RAM and an Adreno 420 GPU for $99.99, or $149.99 with the proprietary controller.
As it runs Android OS Lollipop, Forge TV has access to Google Play apps and games, Google Music and Movies, and offers Hulu Plus, YouTube, and Red Bull TV. The device is Bluetooth 4.1 capable (and can be operated with a remote mobile app if you don't opt for the controller), offers 802.11ac 2X2 wireless and Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0, and HDMI 1.4 output. That controller is the $79.99 Serval, which boasts Bluetooth and an adjustable clip for your mobile phone. The Forge TV can support up to four of these controllers, as seen in the video below.

Razer also showed off an accompanying lap keyboard and mouse surface combination, the Turret Lapboard, meant to promote playing PC games from your couch. This is meant to make it more appealing to stream from your PC to your TV for games that work better with a mouse than a controller. Turret is priced at $129.99, and includes the 3500 DPI laser mouse--check it out in the video and on Razer's site.
