According to Razer, the platform provides ultra-smooth, high-fidelity gameplay on smartphones and tablets, with support for all iOS-compatible gaming controllers for a PC gaming experience on the go. On the ‌iPad‌, there's also support for keyboards, mice, and trackpads.

PC users can browse through, configure, and launch PC games from an iPhone or an ‌iPad‌, as well as customize controls, record and share gameplay, and more. Razer PC Remote Play is able to automatically optimize games to match the maximum resolution and refresh rate of a mobile device without having a fixed aspect ratio.

Apple Closes Unlocked iPhone Loophole for T-Mobile and Verizon Financing

Carrier-financed iPhones purchased from Apple will soon be locked to the carrier, ending a workaround customers used to purchase an unlocked iPhone on a payment plan.

I was going to suggest Sunshine server (on PC) and Moonlight client (on a Mac, iPhone or iPad) but apparently this is based on the Sunshine/Moonlight combo. I can attest that Sunshine/Moonlight combo is absolutely amazing for playing PC games on a Mac - ultra low latency, super fast - as if you're playing the game on your Mac.
Another attest here. Serious Sam 4 has visibly less latency on Sunshine/Moonlight than on Steam streaming. And you can also stream your whole desktop and run gog games or standalones.

Razer's solution says it requires Windows 11 for some reason. Sunshine works just fine with Windows 10.

Plus I stopped touching Razer products when they required logging in to their servers to configure my MOUSE.

Steam did it, it sucked.
AMD did it, it sucked.
What makes Razer think theirs is not going to?
Try Moonlight. I haven't used it on iPhone more than just messing around but it works great for streaming games to Mac/AppleTV.

I tried it in beta. The funny thing is this is basically SunShine/Apollo under the hood, and their client is basically a wrapper on Moonlight. There are hints of it everywhere on the backend and the connecting screen when connecting your host, and yes, it’s VERY good.
I've noticed a couple of things from a quick try
- is it me, or the Razer solution doesn't support HDR? (whereas Sunshine and Apollo do support HDR)
- the Mac client of Moonlight is a far superior experience (in terms of how the mouse pointer works, for starters) compared to using the iPad version of the Razer client on the Mac, I don't see a native Mac Razer client on the App Store, just the iPad app. And I'm afraid Razer isn't interested in developing a native Mac client, even for the future.
- requires creating a RazerID even for local streaming, whereas Sunshine/Moonlight doesn't; speaking of the RazerID, weirdly you can enable 2FA but it won't be asked for login authentication, it will only be asked for changing some security-related account settings, once you're already logged in. Email/username and password is all you need to login into someone's RazerID.

Razer left macOS support in their devices so I left Razer devices long ago. Not interested in any Razer devices, services or solutions.

Don’t waste your time with proprietary crap

Sunshine + Moonlight is all you need.
Fast encoding, low latency, super customizable, works on any platform and even supports HDR
