Razer Turned The Xbox One Into a PC

Razer Turret for Xbox One

Hey guys, this is Austin, and today at CES, Razer has a special treat for the Xbox. This is the Razer Turret for the Xbox One. The Xbox just got full support for a mouse and keyboard, and this is one of the very first official options for it. Now you can plug in any normal wired mouse and keyboard and it will work fine. What's cool about this is that it's specifically meant for the Xbox and it is fully wireless.

On the keyboard side, we do have Razer green mechanical switches as well as chroma support. So it's very similar to what you would find on their standard PC keyboards. And this actually does work on the PC, although it's meant for the Xbox. What's cool about this is that it also does have a magnetic mouse pad. Magnetic mouse pad. So if you're not using it, it has a slightly stronger magnet on the edge. But if you move it away, it's very lightly magnetized.

And when you're sitting on a couch, this is actually a really nice setup. So of course, it's nice to have those full mechanical key switches. What's cool about this entire setup is that it does use a single dongle to connect to the Xbox or your PC. The idea here is that this is something which is meant for very high end PC gaming, which you can also use for the Xbox and vice versa.

It even does have a specific Xbox button on the keyboard. So if you want to build your own ultimate Xbox One, this is a little bit on the pricey side. It is going to be shipping soon for a full $250. So, I mean you're getting a high end keyboard, you're getting the high end mouse, it is of course all wireless. But it's not exactly cheap when that's about the same price as an Xbox One S.

Razer Raptor Gaming Monitor

Which is all the way over there, because Ken said that the shot would be ugly if I stood in front of it. So what you're looking at here is a 27-inch monitor with a 1440p resolution as well as a 144 hertz refresh rate. But it goes a lot beyond that. Razer being Razer, it actually is built really well.

And of course, Razer being Razer, there's plenty of RGB. Like, everyone can agree with that statement, right? - Oh yeah. That's a pretty good one. The actual responsiveness here is crazy. Now not to say that the 144 hertz looks bad, but this is super, super responsive.

Razer Blade with 4K OLED Panel

But on top of that, this, this is what I'm really excited about. This is a Blade with a 4K OLED panel. So the exact configuration of this is still to be determined, but the idea that you can get a 4K touchscreen OLED on a Blade is a seriously big deal.

Now I don't have the exact specs. They're still calibrating and figuring out exactly what it will look like. But the demo here. I mean, look, this is not a bad looking screen. But the OLED just completely blows it away, right? I mean, just the actual level of brightness and contrast, but especially when you look at like the black levels. I mean, it's so bright, it's so vivid.

Can you tell that I like OLED? I want OLED on my next laptop. Don't mind me. I'm just going to enjoy the OLED on a laptop. Why do you got to be judgmental, man? OLED looks nice. Dude, seriously.

that'sabout the same price as an Xbox One S.Next up we have Razer's very firstgaming monitor, the Razer Raptor.Which is all the way over there,because Ken said that the shot wouldbe ugly if I stood in front of it.So what you're looking athere is a 27-inch monitorwith a 1440p resolution as wellas a 144 hertz refresh rate.But it goes a lot beyond that.So Razer being Razer, itactually is built really well.And of course, Razer beingRazer, there's plenty of RGB.Like, everyone can agreewith that statement, right?- Oh yeah.- That's a pretty reasonable.It's built well and it's RGB.Those are the quality components.So you get all the rest ofthe specs you would expectincluding HDR 400 as wellas it is a FreeSync monitor,although potentially there also mightbe a G-Sync version coming soon.What I really look atwhen I see this monitor,especially considering that wejust played with the Turret,is that this could be reallycool for the ultimate Xbox.Think about it, right?So you've got 1440p resolution,which would work well with the One Xand you've also got FreeSync.So part two of this video maybe?Ken's trying to stop mefrom shooting over here.But I don't care.I have my ghost lamp.So what's cool about this isit's actually really built well.So if you want, I'm goingto carefully do this,you actually can flip themonitor all the way up.And what you get here is someactually really nice cable management.So what's cool about this is thatall of these cables come with the monitor.So you get USB-C, USB-A, HDMI.I mean, it's really nice to have allof this stuff that all comes with it.And part of that is becausethis little channel hereis specifically meant for these cables.Now the base itself isactually forged aluminum.And while I'm sure that'sincredibly expensive,it does mean that this is a reallynice looking monitor front and back.There's also the chroma underglow.However, the downside here is thatit's a little bit on the pricey side.And by a little, I mean it's $700.So it's a super high end gaming monitorand I'm excited to see it when itcomes out a little bit later this year.We also have one more thing to talk about.As I walk back to the spot that Kenhas approved with actual lighting.So this is the newRazer Blade 15 Advanced.So as you would expect, ithas been upgraded with RTX.So it starts with an RTX 2060,but you can also upgrade it withan RTX 2070 Max Q or 2080 Max Q.So in addition to the big graphics bump,there is also now a Windows Hello webcam.What's cool about this isthat while all of theseconfigurations will beavailable on January 29th,the 2060, 2070, 2080, thereare also some upgraded versionsthat will be coming a little bit later.Including this, which hasa full 240 hertz display.I mean, I can't see the difference.My eyes can see like 90 hertz.But it's super smooth.So this is still technically a concept,although Razer said that it shouldbe coming out hopefully this year.But what's cool about it.Oh wow, I almost pulled a Linus again.I'm going to actually setthis down on the tablebefore I accidentallybreak a prototype here.So it's really hard to show on camera,but the actualresponsiveness here is crazy.Now not to say that the144 hertz looks bad,but this is super, super responsive.And this should be coming soon.But on top of that, this,this is what I'm really excited about.This is a Blade with a 4K OLED panel.So the exact configuration ofthis is still to be determined,but the idea that you canget a 4K touchscreen OLEDon a Blade is a seriously big deal.Now I don't have the exact specs.They're still calibrating and figuringout exactly what it will look like.But the demo here.I mean, look, this isnot a bad looking screen.But the OLED just completelyblows it away, right?I mean, just the actual level ofnot only brightness and contrast,but especially when you lookat like the black levels.I mean, it's so bright, it's so vivid.Can you tell that I like OLED?I want OLED on my next laptop.Don't mind me.I'm just going to enjoythe OLED on a laptop.Why do you got to be judgmental, man?OLED looks nice.Dude, seriously.So obviously the highrefresh rate is nice.And this will not be likesome 144 hertz panel.It's 4K.But the idea that you can get sucha high quality screen on a laptop.The screen is so unbelievably brightthat the camera can't handle it.Can you just stop down andshow people how bright it is?Look how dark everything has to bejust to be able to see justhow bright the screen is.So that is what Razer has at CES 2019.So a lot of cool upgrades to the Blade,a lot of cool upgrades for Xbox,and a lot of downgrades for my wallet.
