Very good high end gamer keyboard

I want to give a feedback to the gaming keyboard Roccat briefly here. I ordered my keyboard with black switches.

Processing:
Now we come to the beginning of the processing. Immediately after opening the package, you realize that one has given this a lot of effort. So all surfaces are protected by a plastic film, and all the buttons are protected by a plastic pad. In addition, the keyboard is in 2 matching envelopes.

At first glance it can be seen, this is the key, and everything else without defects and did not save on the material, since the keyboard is relatively heavy.
No processing residues or damage is evident even after a short search and the cable has also not gekinick.

Handling:
Through your heavy weight, the keyboard is also slipping on a smooth surface.
An extra support for the hand is not additionally contained. It must also not, because the pad is replaced with the space in front of the keys.
Here it is also very well done. While someone is no longer fit with a particularly big hand on the pad, but a normal and even slightly bigger hands it fit just fine. In addition, a secure hold, guaranteed by the non-slip surface.

Now we come to the individual keys.
The buttons all have an easily accessible position, and the arrangement of switches under the spacebar is managed.
Since I ordered the black switches, myself did not know what I was getting, I have a more severe pressure point as the rubber dome keyboards.
But the severe pressure point is not that difficult, as you can imagine right now. In direct comparison, one notices a slight difference, but which manifests itself only at longer Game Sessions.
The only flaw I have to admit at the switches is that you have to re-solve almost kommplett for re-operation. This is initially no difficulty, but if you are still accustomed to the old keyboard, it happens at the beginning that you bewergt in the bottle direction, because the key has not been properly resolved. However, this has been nothing more to do with the keyboard, but is due to the switches.

With the keys and especially the thumb keys are commendable. They are therefore laudable, because it lets you quickly perform any other actions.
Only in the game Battlefield 4 does not this work but what is at stake.

Ghosting I could not feststelllen, no matter what keys and how quick succession I pressed performed flawlessly and without any lag.

On the USB and microphone and Speaker interface I will not go into detail, because it is sufficient to say that the USB interface is a useful extra, but not some particular attraction is the Pro version only because the 3 other connections to buy.

Driver:
Yes, the driver. As is customary with ROCCAT, you have to download it from the Internet and they are only in English.
The English is not problen because this feature is intended by the illustrations and the latest by trying to find out what.

Actually, you need these drivers no macro keys more, because you can almost any key with the same functions as equip the macro and normal keys.
The lighting can also all taxes well here. Although I would have with the lighting a bit ore flexibility expected, but that may still come, but otherwise it's not really a negative basic search.
What michr very happy, the mand he also can create as when Kone XTD different profiles and determine in Windows profile.
That does not mean that you spend between the profiles back and forth must switchen, each game you play, but you can verküpfen .exe profile with. This automatically the profile active, when you start or call the exe.
The change of the profiles is einam then again especially popular, so you always know where you are in profile.
The only drawback is heirbei that can be registered only with dre exen paddock.

Lighting:
The lighting is very well done. Although one may find that the lower half of a key is not so well lit, but wenigt interfere because the important and the features included are one uses most easily recognizable.
There may borrow something for unusual sin, that the labeling of the keys has been adapted to the lighting. That means they could possibly think that is. By changing the Tastenbeschriftun, also the occupancy has changed But this is not the case.

Conclusion:
For a price of 160 you have to think twice about it, whether she chooses Pro Variant or maybe one of the other two variants.
But no matter what you decide, it's worth this keyboard to select, because here was ROCCAT a mature and functioning keyboard placed on the market, what others have to imitate once.

So buy recommendation !!!

PS if you have a ROCCAT ID Card (with each ROCCAT product this represents the serial number represents more info on this but on the website of roccat), you can secure you from ROCCAT 10% discount on the keyboard or all the products !!! !
