Computex 2016 - Day 2

Computex 2016 - Roccat

Roccat was only showing one new product at this year's Computex – the Suora keyboard. The design of this is a far cry away from the typical Ryos one. The Suora is a full-size keyboard but with zero trim around the keys its footprint is very small. It has an aluminium faceplate and raised keycaps which sit on top of TTC Brown switches, designed to mimic the feel of Cherry MX Brown switches but at a lower cost – the Suora should launch for £79 on these shores. This is the first time Roccat has produced a mechanical keyboard without Cherry MX switches – as we understand, it's becoming harder and harder to get switches as Cherry struggles to meet demand.


The features included are somewhat standard – a Game Mode key to lock the Windows key, blue LED backlighting, customisation via the Swarm, software, onboard lighting control and n-key rollover. The keys above the arrow keys also double up as programmable macro keys.
