ROCCAT Isku FX Gaming Keyboard Review - PAGE 1

Several weeks ago, we came across two excellent mice dubbed the Kone XTD and Kone Pure from a German-based company named ROCCAT. Combining superior build quality and comfort with a staggering number of software options, they earned our Editor's Choice Award. However, there were two features that we were unfortunately unable to fully test: ROCCAT Talk and ROCCAT Talk FX.

When using multiple compatible devices, ROCCAT Talk enables inter-device communication for functions such as Easy-Shift[+]. It's essentially a 'Function' key that gives secondary functions to certain keyboard keys and mouse buttons. ROCCAT Talk FX builds on this connection by allowing synchronized lighting between compatible devices that reacts to onscreen actions, such with low health triggering red lighting across all linked devices. Today, ROCCAT has sent us the compatible ROCCAT Isku FX keyboard for review, so we will be able test these features in conjunction with the ROCCAT Kone XTD for some cross-peripheral Talking.

Like many of ROCCAT's other products, this keyboard was designed with the gamer in mind. Thus we see plenty of familiar features such as programmable macro keys, active profile switching, dedicated media keys, and unique functionality such as Easy-Zone and 16.8-million color lighting.

Without further ado, let's take a look at what the ROCCAT Isku FX brings to the table as a keyboard for the gamer and enthusiast.
