ROCCAT Arvo Gaming Keyboard

Introduction

ROCCAT™ Arvo – Compact
Gaming Keyboard
The only keyboard featuring macro keys for the thumb

More space on the desktop without the need to forgo all the
usual functions. This and a whole lot more besides is offered by the
compact ROCCAT™ Arvo. It’s the first keyboard to offer a gaming mode
integrated into the numpad and unique thumbster keys. These three extra
keys can be assigned macros or the practical timer function, which can’t
be found on any other keyboard on the planet.

SIZE MATTERS
It’s no coincidence that the ROCCAT™ Arvo is
part of the ROCCAT™ Smart Desktop Management System. In contrast to
other keyboards, it only has a tiny desktop footprint. As a result,
neither the mousepad nor mouse will get in your way – plus optimum use
is made of the gaming zone. The Arvo is perfect even for arrow key
gamers, who prefer to position their keyboards diagonally to the monitor
and mousepad, as it doesn’t collide with the monitor or hang over the
edge of the desk.

DUAL-ASSIGNMENT NUM PAD
You don’t have sacrifice anything with the
ROCCAT™ Arvo. The smaller size has been achieved simply by combining the
numpad and arrow-key pad. This means that it has all the usual keyboard
functions, yet it takes up considerably less space. It’s easy to switch
between normal and gaming mode simply by pressing the mode switch
button. In gaming mode the arrow keys are illuminated in blue which
means gaming even in the dark isn’t a problem. What’s more, two
additional, freely programmable macro keys are available which are
positioned for optimum access to the left and right of the arrow keys.

UNIQUE THUMBSTER KEYS
You’ll find three further macro keys
positioned beneath the spacebar. These can be individually programmed
and can be easily operated using the thumb without being pressed
accidently. At last, there’s something new for your thumb to do apart
from just hitting the spacebar. From now on you can cast healing or
attack spells with your thumb. Another unique function is the ROCCAT™
Timer which allows the time it takes for special items to revive to be
timed to perfection in many games. The ROCCAT™ Timer can be executed,
paused or stopped to within a fraction of a second.

PERFECT KEYSTROKE
It’s not just its compact design that makes the
ROCCAT™ Arvo the perfect gaming keyboard. It also has an unusually
positive keystroke. Because of their optimum height, keys can be pressed
with particular precision. Being of medium height means they’re not
just comfortable for typing; they also offer a perfect pressure point.

INTEGRATED METAL PLATE
The Arvo is as good as indestructible thanks to the
integrated metal plate. It forgives those little temper tantrums during
gaming, and the thump on the edge of the desk that frequently ensues,
without so much as a murmur. The rugged metal plate also means it’s
perfectly weighted and therefore exceptionally stable. Furthermore, the
perfect gaming height can be achieved by folding out the lock-on
keyboard legs which cling to any surface like little suction cups thanks
to their non-slip coating.

“Never underestimate the power of
the thumb.”
