Roccat Sova Lapboard Review

box

As the Sova KitGuru managed to get a hold of is one of just two pre-release samples sent to the UK, our box is not indicative of the final retail sample.

As you can see, it is plain black, with nothing at all to identify what is inside.

However, Roccat did send me the above image – and this is what the retail packaging should look like. It is safe to say it is more interesting than the box I received.

Inside, there is the Sova itself (which is examined on the next page) as well as a detachable 4m cable which connects the Sova to your PC. It has two USB 2.0 ports at its end, as these feed the two USB ports on the Sova itself, as well as the integrated keyboard.

Finally, there is a small clip which attaches to the Sova. This locks your mouse's cable in place, meaning the wire won't drag as you are using your mouse. I assess how this works in practice on the ‘testing' page of this review.

  1. on the website they say the mousemat is replaceable 🙂

  2. In the review he says the mouse mat is replaceable ; ). I am so pleased those are not Leo’s hairy legs, I was imagining hiking socks and sandals (just joking he’s my favourite reviewer and my wife says we could be clones). So is the keyboard replaceable at all if it breaks? If not that means its the worlds most expensive membrane keyboard. Can it be bought sans keyboard if you already have a roccat keyboard? Are the two keyboards made just for this product? This product raises more questions than it answers in its current state and I’m the worlds biggest Roccat fan. This is a bit of an own goal ( too early for Euro puns?)

  3. So easy to make your own. Piece of fibreglass + mouse mat and rubber panel to stop keyboard slipping – hey presto.

  4. you’re right, he said it at the end.
    @keyboard: in general “good” keyboards last long time, especially mechanical ones 🙂 they just get dirty after years…

  5. I make close to $6k-$8k /month doing an online job. If you are ready to do simple online work for few hours /day from your couch at home and make solid payment for doing it… This is a gig for you… FAVE.CO/20SSeWe
