- Hey, everyone, Daniel Rubino here
at Windows Essential, and check it out,
it's the Turret for the Xbox One from Razer.
So this was announced at CES,
really shown off at CES for the first time.
It is now available to purchase.
It's 250 bucks, it ain't cheap,
but it is a really impressive Razer keyboard and mouse.
This is for the Xbox One,
or you could use it for Windows 10 on your PC,
so the choice is yours.
We'll give you a quick unboxing, though,
and show you what you get.
(electronic music)
All right, opening the box here,
and you can see, look at this beauty here.
Now what's really interesting about the Turret
is the heft of it.
It's a solid piece of hardware here
that feels just really nice.
You want that in a lap, right?
You don't want this thing sliding around,
but you can see it's a pretty nice size.
You get Razer mechanical switches here, so,
(keys clacking)
there is a beautiful, ah, look at that, just gorgeous sound,
and it does light up.
We'll plug it in, of course, and show you,
but you get the full RGB stuff here
and you can configure that through the Xbox One itself
because there's now an app on the Xbox
which will control this, just a really nice design,
and look at that, that's what separates it from everything,
dedicated Xbox control key
so you can always bring up your menus
and do that right away.
Really nice design, though.
(plastic sheathing) Oh, there's that sound.
So there's the bottom.
Nice and grippy too, nice and smooth,
so this won't slide on your lap.
Also work very well on the desk.
And of course, the secret here is this guy,
so this slides out and you do get a full mouse pad
so you can use this all on your lap all in one,
and it's got a little switch here at the bottom
which then retracts.
It doesn't go in and out unless you want it to.
Now over here you get the mouse.
This is a pretty familiar mouse design.
You can see the bottom here of the Turret.
16,000 DPI, this is an optical sensor, not laser.
A lot of people are really adamant about that,
opticals to prefer when it's 5G,
and it does open up here on the bottom here.
We can put the dongle for storage which is nice.
You also get the switches there
to turn on and off the device as well as switch profiles.
Look at the side here, you can see you have
two buttons here for forward and back.
On the top here you've got a couple more buttons
as well as the pretty clicky scroll wheel,
so not a free scroll, no.
It doesn't seem to be a switch to switch it on and off.
It does also click down, and overall,
it's a very light mouse, too,
so whereas the keyboard is super-heavy
and weighs down on your lap,
this is a very light mouse which is what you want.
It is completely wireless, speaking of,
here is the little dongle here.
So this is the dongle that plugs into
the back of your Xbox One
or you could put it to the front, too.
Controls the mouse and keyboard.
It's part of Razer's new scanning technology,
so it'll always find the best frequency to use
so you don't have interference.
So you have a bunch of different cables.
One of them is to charge the keyboard,
and it is a Type-C charger, which is,
you know, I love peripherals,
but they're still using micro-USB,
but no, here you get Type-C, which is really good.
Nice braided design as well.
When you charge up the keyboard and mouse together,
it should last you 40 hours of gameplay,
so hopefully you don't need to charge it too frequently.
There are LEDS on the system itself
that will show you when your battery's getting low,
which is good, so, and this is the one for the mouse,
which is micro-USB.
Hey, not all is perfect, unfortunately, but,
so it just plugs into the front of the mouse here,
and you can use all this stuff plugged in as well,
so if you don't want to use it wireless
or you do run out of battery quickly,
you can just plug this stuff in
directly to your PC or the Xbox,
and it'll still power it that way.
If you don't want to use that long cable,
they do give you a nice short one as well,
so just plug it into the mouse this way,
and this will plug directly into the keyboard
to recharge directly to it, which is nice for storage.
Finally, you also get a little notice here from Razer.
They always put these in the packages
telling you a little bit about the history of the product
as well as an instruction manual.
Should also point out for that $250,
you do get a two-year warranty,
and Razer's been really adamant about
focusing on quality control for their products
and giving good warranties,
so hopefully this device will last you a long time.
And they also give you a wall plug to charge that keyboard,
so you can see the USB Type A connector here
as well as the wall wart,
and it just folds in like that for our travel as well,
so pretty nice design, quality components.
Everything feels really nice.
All right, so this is a quick look
at the Razer Turret for Xbox One.
Now if you want a full list of all the games
that you can use this with on the Xbox One,
well, Razer has that on their site.
We'll have some information at Windows Central, too.
We'll put those in the description below
as well as where you can buy it.
Like I said, it is now available for $250.
We'll also have a full review at Windows Central
in the coming weeks as well,
so make sure you pay attention to that.
