Razer Announces Turret Living Room Keyboard+Mouse for Xbox One
Razer , the leading lifestyle brand for gamers, today introduced a new way to play on console with the Razer Turret for Xbox One, a wireless keyboard and mouse combo designed for Xbox One. "We're extremely proud to team up with Microsoft to bring you this exclusive collaboration," says Razer Co-Founder and CEO Min-Liang Tan. "With the Razer Turret for Xbox One, it is now possible to bring the full experience of a keyboard and mouse, with lighting and game integration to Xbox One."
Built for reliable gaming on the couch, the Razer Turret for Xbox One offers a fast and stable 2.4 GHz wireless connection via a single dongle for the mouse and keyboard, and battery life of up to 40 hours on a single charge. With Xbox Dynamic Lighting and Razer Chroma technology, console gamers now have access to the largest ecosystem of lighting, with up to 16.8-million color options and lighting effects for their keyboard and mouse. Additionally, Razer has been working with developers to bring Xbox Dynamic Lighting and Razer Chroma support in-game, offering immersive experiences on supported titles such as "X-Morph-Defense", "Vermintide 2" and more."Razer Chroma expands even further into the living room," says Tan, "building upon the success we've had with Philips Hue in room lighting." The keyboard features Razer's gaming grade mechanical switches engineered for durability and reliability with a lifespan of up to 80-million keystrokes. A dedicated Xbox key also instantly pulls up the Xbox One dashboard for seamless navigation.
The included mouse is modelled after the popular Razer Mamba Wireless gaming mouse and features a high-performance 5G advanced optical sensor and Razer Mechanical Mouse Switches with up to 50-million clicks durability. The mouse surface is conveniently hidden underneath the main body of the keyboard and can be extended for use, then retracted for charging and storage. A built-in ergonomic wrist rest extends from the base of the Razer Turret keyboard for Xbox One for added comfort.
The Razer Turret for Xbox One is also fully compatible with PC (Windows 10), enabling gamers to take their game from the PC to console and back.

so probably a download, the synapse and chroma port are very new to xbox so I don`t know if the reward software have made it over yet.
Intrigued though, can someone who reviews such things here weigh in on this? also will this pair with more than one device?
My cheapest of the cheap A4Tech Bloody wireless mice did almost twice that (~100 actual work hours on a single charge @500Hz polling rate and 2000cpi)
My G603 is still at nearly full charge after 2 months of being actively used (1-2 hours in gaming mode and 12+ hours in green mode for work every single day incl. weekends).
Even worse for the KB. 43 hours with backlight disabled? What are they using, a homemade hemp-based CR2032 coin cell or something? Or is it running on Lemons?
P.S. I miss that chair....:cry:
Other drawback: not fixed. That takes the addition of a rubber surface to your plank to fix. But on most wood you can just place a keyboard and it'll be rock solid because its already got rubber feet. And the mouse 'falling off' can be fixed with a gentle rise at the edge, which only takes some sort of adhesive strip for two bucks.
I mean, yes its ghetto, but it'll work miles better than this overpriced plastic garbage AND it won't break 1 day past warranty.
I would buy the SH*T outta that, just make said Plank from aluminium, add some RGB and include the word "gaming" in the product title.
It's not that far off.
It's not for me, but not too far off in price for what it is.
