CANT WAIT TO TRY THIS NEW CONSOLE MODE

razer cooked?!?!?!

This will be very interesting!

Since I'm a big fan of steam big picture, I really appreciated the console mode. At the moment I can play normally without problems. It’s possible to start console mode by pressing the xbox controller’s home button?

I just booted console mode up for the first time to check it out. The interface seems really cool, and I can’t wait to try it out later today.

A good ezperience, very very fast. easy configuration

Has anyone tried it on a Lenovo or ROG ?

It worked great even with my old Xbox One controller. Booted it up and browsed the menu a bit before using it to launch ‘Sifu’ and get my butt kicked lol!

Digging the UI so far - will have to see if I can get it to run on my Surface! Pretty solid for a beta...will have to give it a workout this weekend.

Console mode wokrs like a charm with my Xbox controler!!

This mode is Amazing!

where? how? and can’t wait

Thoroughly enjoying console mode, but I need to be able to shrink the ui a little and move it to another monitor.

love this mode i used a ps5 controller for this , although i tried alt tab to tab out and it takes a while to switch windows so that would be nice like i get it you are trying to go for a console like experience for handheld pcs but alt tabbing might be helpful given that poeple like me , likes to play games with spotify on , rest best console like experience i have ever had and it boosts instantly too so win win !

I just installed Windows 11, so I don’t really have games setup yet. But I have to say I’m impressed with how responsive this console mode is. One thing I got hung up on is when in the settings. You highlight an option on the left but then when you go to the right to scroll nothing highlights. It just took me a moment to realize to simply press right then could scroll down. Without anything highlighting in that area I was not aware I could scroll.

But it is a pretty neat concept. But with how much I go over to the Windows Desktop while playing games, I’m not sure how much I would use this function.

Works smoothly on pc with Xbox series x wirelesscontroller.

If you love the steam big picture mode you will love this so much more as it is so much more user friendly and smooth to use. I will be using this moving forward and so glad I was able to be part of the beta!!

The program is very smooth, very responsive, it has quite a bit of utility as well, I can see myself using it often, being able to immediately gain an FPS boost when I start a game by stopping background apps seems to be working really. It pairs extremely well with the Legion Go, it would be neat if they added compatibility to control fans.

Really like this console mode on both my Ally and my PC

So far I have enjoyed in on PC with my ps5 controller. Its a lot smoother than steam big picture, especially when transitioning from desktop app to console mode and back out again. i like the ui sounds that were chosen as well. it has a good look and feel and i hope that this comes to the phone apps that use the kishi too.

PC with a series X controller and im in with the rest of the crowd: This functions a lot smoother and feels better than steam big picture. Gonna continue with it, without a doubt!

I’ve used Steam Big Picture mode quite a bit because most of the games I play are better with controller. That being said, I'mabsolutely loving Razer Console Mode. It’s simple, fast, and makes it easier to use my computer with a controller. Excited to continue to use this service!!

greatexperience
