Roccat Ryos MK Pro

Overview

My overall assessment of the ROCCAT Ryos MK Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is that its pros far outweigh its cons and it is likely a substantial upgrade to what you are currently using. It looks tough, it is tough, its customization options are ridiculous, and it can play nice with your mouse.

Affordable Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Roundup: Once you get the hang of attacking each key with a bit more force then the Ryos MK starts to flow. I really wish there was an option for Cherry MX Red switches (45 cN actuation force) along with some backlighting for $100 or less. That would make the Ryos MK a must-have in my opinion.

It is difficult for us to recommend the purchase of the Ryos MK Pro for this price at this point in time, especially considering that its layout is strongly tailored towards FPS gamers. Perhaps a good deal or a sale will change that however and we feel that the Ryos MK Pro remains a very good gaming-focused mechanical keyboard that will not disappoint its audience.
