Razer Turret

So Microsoft recently has announced that the Xbox One will be getting the much requested feature of allowing full support for keyboard and mouse inputs for gaming. This has been a feature many console gamers have been asking for, for quite some time. And now it seems like it’s finally coming to fruition. In that initial announcement from Microsoft, they state they will be personally partnering with Razer to develop some peripherals for the launch. Well today, Razer has showed us what they will be releasing come March.

As you can see, it’s modeled very similarly to Corsair’s Lapdog. But unlike the Lapdog, which allows you to input your own Corsair keyboard, the Razer Turret has its mechanical keyboard embedded. The Turret (which uses Razer’s own mechanical switches) also comes equipped with a mouse, and both can be wired or used with 2.4ghz wireless band. One of the cooler aspects about it is its retractable mouse pad, which makes it easier to store. Overall in my opinion, I think the design is quite slick, and I’m curious to see the performance of it. All in all, I’m quite happy to see Xbox getting closer to becoming a supreme HTPC. I see a future where Xbox positions itself to be the premiere choice for console & PC gamers, maybe even replacing the powerful gaming desktop for some.
