Razer Turret Living Room Gaming Mouse and Lapboard Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2016-08-11

Razer Turret was thought as a compact peripheral which can act as a wireless gaming keyboard/mouse perfect to be utilized in living rooms were the use of wires becomes annoying and very unaesthetic. When the 2.4GHz interface is used with the supplied dongle we do not get to see delays during operation for both devices and since the keycaps of the lapboard keyboard are of the same size as on a regular laptop, people can also use it successfully for office tasks or browsing the Internet.

Packaging, A Closer Look Part I

Nowadays there are plenty of hardware configurations we can order/build in order to create media center or gaming PCs in the living room, linked to a big Full HD/4K TV.

Let’s take a look in more detail at these devices by starting up with the packaging!
