Roccat have decided to smash two things together to create the first ever “membranical” keyboard, thereby making a unique product and massacring the English language at the same time. Despite the fancy naming this is still very much a membrane keyboard, meaning that there’s a single sheet of little rubber contact domes hiding underneath the keys rather than the individual switches that mechanical boards have. The first thing is that the keys have a softer, mushier feel For typing I found it to be just fine, and The relatively short activation distance of 1.2mm, small amount of travel and ease with which the keys can be pressed make long-typing sessions feel like a doddle and I was easily bashing away at my usual speed with no increase in errors or anything else.Roccat certainly didn’t skimp when it came to the accessories. Thisa board comes boasting a row of five dedicated, half-height macro keys alongside a few multimedia buttons for pausing, playing and skipping forward. The star of the show is the sizable wheel on the right. Using this is as simple as pressing one of the option keys next to it, and then spinning the wheel, thus if you pick the volume button you can quickly ramp up or drop the volume. You can also select screen brightness, RGB profiles, RGB lighting color, microphone volume and even swap between different windows without having to use ALT+TAB.
