ROCCAT™ Arvo Compact Gaming Keyboard – the smallest and most innovative gaming keyboard on the market. Designed by product designers with years of gaming experience, it gives you a better overview of your desktop and in the game – and you‘ll be able to react faster and more flexibly than ever before. Its compact size means the Arvo only has a small footprint, leaving you with lots of room to move your mouse and for your individual style of gaming. Num pad gamers in particular will benefit from being able to place this keyboard across the desktop without the risk of it immediately falling off. Based on a standard keyboard layout, key height, stroke and layout are tailored precisely to gamers’ needs. The flat keys and the noticeable pressure points make the Arvo perfect for precise gaming. In addition, this keyboard is the first and only keyboard which finally gives your thumbs a bigger role than just simply hitting the spacebar: three freely definable macro keys (thumbsters) now lie within striking distance of your thumbs. These allow you to quickly trigger macros, while the optimum pressure point of the thumbsters prevents the keys from being accidentally pressed. But that’s not all: there aren’t just three macro keys – in game mode another two are available. In this mode the standard number pad acquires special gaming functions. It features blue illuminated arrow keys, with two additional, individually programmable macro keys to the side. Other keys, such as the Caps Lock or Windows keys, which are a frequent source of annoyance during gaming, can be quickly and easily deactivated. WWW.ROCCAT.ORG / SUPPORT... -
