KitGuru Annual Awards 2013

Again, this is a very personal and important choice. Normal folks want productivity and as little exposure to risk from carpal tunnel syndrome as possible.

Gamers want a serious piece of hardware that can adapt to the nuances of their particular gaming style – as well as the durability needed to keep going long into the night at major gaming events like the Multiplay i-Series.

If you want a serious keyboard with Cherry MX Key Switches, then you will have a preference. Our winner in this category makes this keyboard available with your choice of Blue, Black, Brown or Red Cherry keys.

Compared to Microsoft, Logitech and Razer, Roccat came to the game late. Even when they hired a presentation suite at CeBIT in 2007, they were still talking more about their overall message and design ethos than specific products, yet as 2014 is about to start, Roccat has full range of products in stores across the world.

Which leads you to ask ‘How were they able to build the brand that quickly?'

Part of the answer must lie in the quality that we experienced in the Roccat Ryos MK Pro. When we put it through intense testing back in September, our conclusion was that it offered a “Sturdy and strong build, variety of Cherry MX Switches, Per-key lighting that works well, it has extra USB ports as well as an audio jack and mic jack. It has N-Key rollover and a non-smudge glossy surface to help it maintain a sleek look”.

Also, our chaps managed to lean on 25 keys at once and every one of them registered correctly. Useful to know in serious combat.

Roccat's reputation for quality as well as the hardware and software optimizations available here mean that the Roccat Ryos MK Pro wins KitGuru Keyboard of the Year for 2013.
