We are already acquainted with several models of the line Ryos mechanical keyboards on the company Roccat. Today we look at a new member of the series, which is a hallmark of advanced RGB-lights. What about ease of use and the other mechanical gaming keyboard Roccat Ryos MK FX features – read on.
EQUIPMENT
The mechanical gaming keyboard Roccat Ryos MK FX comes in a very large package, and in spite of this, in addition, to complete documentation of the device and nothing more.
APPEARANCE AND ERGONOMICS
Design Roccat Ryos MK FX repeats that of previous models. A large body of logs forms create a typical image of the company model. When looking at Ryos MK FX is immediately clear – it is a gaming product. Dimensions of the keyboard a lot, therefore it is advisable to take care of the availability of free space on the table.
The keypad is made of matte plastic, glossy parts of the border are only a working surface, visually separating the wrist rest on the keyboard part. In general, the surface is sufficient practical, her prints are, but they are poorly visible and easily removed.
With regard to the general shape and its effect on the ease of use, the big plus is the presence of a large stand at the wrist, in between typing or gaming battles it is very convenient to put your hands.
The layout is typical for mechanical gaming keyboard Roccat Ryos MK FX – the standard keyboard unit is complemented by a block macro keys. To get used to it, but rather to its location, it will take some time. On tested a localized version of the keyboard with a long left-hand Shift key and the “one-story” Enter. Like other Los model line, MK FX is equipped with three buttons switch profiles.
We should also stop at the connectors. To connect require 2 free USB-ports (a second is required for lighting), as well as a 3.5mm mini jack and microphone input for the built-in keyboard audio ports. The keyboard of this size would love to see and USB-hub, good place for him there. Unfortunately, this functionality is only available Ryos MK Pro models.
EQUIPMENT
On tested a keyboard equipped with Cherry MX Brown. Keyboards with data switches – a rarity in ITC.ua lab, so we recall the differences between these switches. MX Brown – is the key with tactile feedback and no clicks. The operation takes place about halfway, and the force which is necessary – 45 grams. This type of switch is a good balance between noise and comfort, as well as well-suited for long-term typing. The manufacturer does not mention whether the sale Ryos MK FX to other switches.
The main feature of the mechanical gaming keyboard Roccat Ryos MK FX is its backlight. Each key is equipped with individual LEDs that can change color in the range of 16 million colors. The choice available as standard effects such as respiratory or static light, but there are also more impressive, for example – the equalizer by which keys light up with music or any sound on your computer. Of course, photos will not give all the beauty of the process, so be sure to check our video review of this model.
SOFTWARE
One of the advantages of the keyboard can be called to work with the new corporate software Roccat Swarm (previous models Roccat Ryos worked with not very convenient Roccat Talk software). Among the advantages of this application is the very detailed macro editor, lots of lighting options, as well as the ability to save the settings and cloud management using the application on your smartphone.
PROS: DESIGN, SWITCHES, SOFTWARE FUNCTIONALITY AND ILLUMINATION
CONS: PRICE, LACK OF USB-HUB
CONCLUSION
The implementation of the backlight in the Roccat Ryos MK FX can rightly be called one of the most functional. The rest of the mechanical gaming keyboard Roccat Ryos MK FX is already too balanced, and in its main parameter – ease of use, it was highly appreciated. Using the keyboard Cherry MX Brown switches can also be counted among the advantages, since in our opinion – this is the most balanced switches that will suit many.
