The packaging for the Roccat Skeltr keyboard is much more typical than the oddly shaped box of the Ryos MK FX RGB that we looked at earlier this year. It is highly informative, giving you a large picture of the keyboard on the front (tablet not included) and the whole box is built to a high standard.

As much as we like to save a few pounds on less impressive packaging, when you are spending £150 on a keyboard, you cannot help but want it to come in a nice box.

The back is even more iformative, breaking down many of the major features in a multitude of languages, as well as an endorsement by Pro League of Legends player “Freddy122,” who said that he always has his phone in front of him now that he uses a Skeltr.

While I would be surprised to find any pro-gamers using membrane boards, Skeltr's phone cradle system is quite neat. More on that later.

 

Along with the keyboard there are some stickers, a quick start document and a warranty leaflet, as well as some additional micro-USB and 3.5mm cables for pass through purposes.

The wrist rest is detachable, but clips on easily to the underside of the board. It is made of the same plastic as the rest of the keyboard and features a Roccat logo in its centre. There are also a couple of informative stickers on its left and right hand sides, helping you out with some of the more interesting features of the Roccat Skeltr.

On the underside, it has rubber strips to further improve the grip strength of the keyboard so that it will not slide around during use.
