Test: Einzeltest: ROCCAT Isku FX Multicolor Gaming Keyboard
Zitat: Pro: + Full 24-bit RGB backlighting
+ Quiet non-mechanical keys
+ Easy macro recording
Contra: - Price is a little high compared to comparable non-mechanical keyboards
- Annoying software
- Backlighting not very intense for most keys
- Mushy non-mechanical keys
Overall I have mixed feelings here about the ROCCAT Isku FX. On one hand, the Isku FX is quite good as far as non-mechanical keyboards go and the lighting and customizability is unmatched by anything else on the market. There is one huge caveat though: the price. The ROCCAT Isku FX debuts at a very mechanical-tier price of $99.99, which is above and beyond the pricing of its non-mechanical peers by a significant chunk of change. So while the Isku FX really is a good keyboard without any obvious faults in terms of gaming, there´s not quite enough here for me to want to drop 100 bones on it. That´s the price territory of the much sturdier and much more mechanical Corsair K90, CM Storm Trigger, and the Rosewill RK-9000. For quite a bit cheaper, you can get any number of non-mechanical keyboards from Logitech, Razer, SteelSeries, and others. So there you have it. The ROCCAT Isku FX really doesn´t have any problems aside from the price. At $70 it would be a good keyboard to consider. At $80 it would be a hard sell, but the full-RGB backlighting could be a swaying factor for some. At $100, I just can´t find a way to justify the cost compared to the features it offers. I´d pass, but if you really want full RGB backlighting for your keyboard and you don´t really care if it´s mechanical or not, perhaps this keyboard needs a home on your desk.
