The product:

The keyboard came in a very nice box that has the picture of the keyboard on the front and specifications on the back. The box is about the size of the keyboard so it’s very compact.

We have a few things included with the keyboard and we can see them on the left picture. It’s a small “manual” but in reality it’s a paper that has some instructions printed on it, and a floppy disk with some drivers. On the right picture we have the keyboard itself. We can see it’s almost flat and it’s actually pretty small to.

The keys are white and really soft to push on. The keyboard is also fairly quiet and overall nice to type on. The keyboard comes with 18 multimedia keys which are placed on the top of the keyboard.

On the left we have more of the mutlimedia keys which are pretty much the standard volume, pause/play, mail, etc etc. Under the keyboard we have 4 small rubber feet. On the right picture we have one of them to show you. The rubber feet really do help the keyboard to stay in place.

    I bought this keyboard for my fiance as a Christmas gift, and overall
    we’ve enjoyed it. The keyboard itself is fantastic, and the keys have a
    solid feel to them with a nice, even distribution for the backlight.

    Our
    only real issue is the battery life. The batteries fully drain about
    every 10 days or so, and this seems to be regardless of whether or not
    the backlight is on. You can plug in the keyboard via Micro USB, but
    it’s an unnecessary step for an otherwise great keyboard.

      Roccat Isku is wired keyboard so battery life shouldn’t be an issue :-)
