The keyboard features mechanical key switches that are often preferred by PC gamers compared to standard "membrane" key switches. It also has a wrist-rest, which is pretty much a necessity for using a keyboard on a couch. The wrist-rest essentially acts like the desk where a keyboard would normally lie.

The mouse is based on Razer's popular Mamba Wireless gaming mouse for PC.

Only 16 games are compatible with Razer's Turret keyboard and mouse, which makes the Turret's $250 price tag a hard pill to swallow.
