MT: I'm pretty sure they are. I think it's great. Back in the day, like two years ago when we first started this, people were saying, You're nuts. Now we're seeing a lot of copycats come out of Taiwan. People will ask me - at Computex, and even over here - is that something I get mad at? Absolutely not.
I think it's a good sign. I think the great thing about PC is it's all about choice. I have a pretty active Facebook page where I talk to the community and I tell them, Look, get a Razer, don't get a Razer, go get an Alienware, or don't get an Alienware. Go build your own rig. The great thing about PC is that it's all about choice. And that's what I love about it.
TR: Is there any technology - gaming or not, that you're really excited about right now? Anything we could see in future Razer products?
MT: Lots of people always ask why we don't bring our tech to the military or medical fields and stuff like that, so that's one thing that I'd really like to do.
On top of that, things like Google Glass, augmented reality, virtual reality, biofeedback, I'm excited about all of that.
Now, whether it's going to be relevant for Razer or otherwise…I'm a tech guy at heart. Anything that's cool, I'm all for it.
I'm pretty active on Kickstarter actually. I find a lot of stuff there, even things I sometimes shouldn't fund.
TR: What do you invest in on Kickstarter?
MT: It all started with Wasteland. I used to pirate the game, and when Brian Fargo did the follow-up, I felt so guilty I did a big backing behind it. And since then I've been backing a lot of games. So mainly games, but every time I see little cool stuff I do that, too.
TR: You were a lawyer before you started Razer. How did you transition from the courtroom to the board room?
MT: I like being a lawyer. I like drafting and stuff like that. But I've been playing games for a very long time.
