Made for Xbox

Razer Turret

Staff favorite

The Razer Turret is the first (and only) officially licensed Xbox keyboard and mouse, and is fully compatible with both the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. It features a lappable wireless design for comfortable couch gaming, is lined with mechanical keys, and has a dedicated Xbox button. It's weighty and feels outstanding in-hand. Premium features and fantastic design make this an excellent choice if you can overlook that expensive price tag.

For couch gaming

Corsair K63 Lapboard

Corsair's K63 paired with this "lapboard" is ideal for living room gamers. It offers a couch-friendly, more versatile alternative to Razer's Turret. This setup centers around its removable K63 mechanical keyboard, which features Cherry MX Red switches. With its accompanying detachable lapboard, this creates a cohesive surface for mouse and keyboard use. Keep in mind, this doesn't come with a mouse like the Razer Turret does.

The best keyboards for console gaming

The Razer Turret isn't budget-friendly, but as the first officially licensed keyboard for Xbox, it firmly delivers on its premium price tag. Buyers will secure Razer's leading mechanical keyboard and mouse technology, compacted into a lap-friendly design for living room gaming. Topped with Chroma RGB lighting and a dedicated Xbox button, no other keyboard offers a comparable experience for the Xbox Series X and Series S.

The Logitech G613 is also considered among today's top gaming keyboards, with its cable-free design well-suited for a clean setup. It's a more affordable mechanical alternative with low-latency connectivity and a sleek finish, and with a USB dongle can be paired with the Xbox Series X and S for next-gen console gaming.
