Roccat Ryos TKL Pro Review


IMG_3158

The box for the Ryos TKL Pro is compact, much like the board itself. It is a little wider than usual to accommodate the chunky wrist rest, but for the most part it is a little smaller than your average keyboard box. It is very informative, letting you know via a sticker which Cherry MX switch it comes with, as well as list of its most impressive features.

The back continues the trend, through extends it to other languages too, making sure whichever part of the world you are in, you know just what your new keyboard is capable of.

The only accessory that comes with this board is the quick-installation guide. This shows you some of the basic functions of the easy shift keys that you can remap later in the back-end software.

  1. uselessness at its best! 😀

    Smudge-proo, glossy look.
    Enhanced per-key illumination.
    Roccat achievements for gaming statistics.

    oh yes, I needed those things in my life…by the way i work with my computer so I need that “not used anymore” numpad and the super-old-for-grandpas caps lock…

    this is the perfect way to cut off 50% of the market share, for sure this will sell only to kid gamers but nobody else would buy this gigantic and clunky incomplete keyboard :/ such a shame

  2. There is also the full sized range of Ryos keyboards if a numpad is a requirement, and if for any reason you need a capslock key all you need to do is change the setting in the control panel.

    I use the MK Pro myself and I feel its actually very useful being able to switch capslock between its normal function and a modifier key a the press of a button to swap profile

    My Ryos TKL Pro dies after 20 minutes. It’s a nice piece of brick.

  4. Dude what is your deal lol?!

  5. Well, you should be better informed about something before you speak!

    I use this keyboard for programming. I don’t play games so much. Here are some tips you should have in mind…

    First of all there is a Caps Lock key. CHECK THIS OUT!!NO SHIFT KEY HOLDING! But Roccat had the magnificent idea to make it the easy shift key because it’s the less used key in a so comfortable position on the keyboard! But if you wanna use it as a Caps Lock key you can do it using the software. But again, there is no point because by default it is enabled by holding easy shift + T1 key(thumb key). That simple.

    The easy shift key also can be used to replace the numpad!! Yes! No kidding! You can set the keys t,y,u,g,h,j,b,n,m or any other combination that suits you as macros and holding the easy shift key have the numpad right under your fingers…no need to take your hand away as you are typing!! I currently use j,k,l,i as arrow keys!! It is magic! I use the arrow keys so much but it is frustrating when you are coding and you have to jump to the line above and you have to take your hand away…So this saved me!

    Of course there are many other macros you can set to make your life easier. And the best part is that you can set 5 different profiles. I mean 5 different combinations of macro keys and lighting. That makes 5 times every key on the keyboard macros! You can change profile with the thumb keys and BOOM!! You can have any shortcut for any application assigned in just two keys!

    Come on! What more can you ask for?

    Also for those on Macs… I use Mac…You just need to configure the keyboard on windows and save the settings in it! You can set macros on the fly too( by the keyboard). Then you can use it everywhere! I use bootcamp, installed windows 7 and everything is so damn good!

    I don’t have anything negative to say. Even the non removable wrist rest… Its size is very comfortable. Oh!! I forgot! Add to all these the fact that you can have a pizza laying on your desk….

  6. Yeah, you spread this message all across the internet. Either you are a troll or someone who is obsessed wih his anecdotal evidence.

    Hello, I’m not a troll neither was a fake complaint. But, I understand that believing in “Internet posts” is getting harder and harder.
    In fact, I figured out a way to fix the keyboard some months later, before I throw it out. I decided to open it and just unplugged the secondary keyboard (that with 3 keys T1,T2,T3). It came back to life. (I used it to write this reply)
