Intro
On the ever-growing gaming peripheral markets there have been lots of manufacturers and even more ideas
on how to stand from the crowd, but at the end of the day there are just a couple of real players. One of
the big names is Roccat, and this time they have come up with a new keyboard - Arvo. Now lets see what the
newcomer has to offer.

Package & Features

The Arvo comes delivered in a stylish dark box with almost real-life pictures of the actual product
inside. The box itself is very compact and one of the marketing lines also promises the keyboard to be a
"compact gaming keyboard". Other than that there are total of five macro keys. Unfortunately only six of
the keys come with backlight.
Features:
- COMPACT DESIGN
creates optimum gamespace
- MODE SWITCH BUTTON
for switching between Num Pad function and Gaming Mode
- 3 PROGRAMMABLE THUMBSTER KEYS
easy to reach with your thumb
- 2 ADDITIONAL MACRO KEYS
for individual keyboard commands
- MACRO MANAGER
create complex command sequences
- ANTI-GHOSTING CAPABILITY
for simultaneous keystrokes
- MEDIUM-HEIGHT KEYS
with an optimum keystroke response and perfect pressure point
- HIGH DURABILITY
with robust metal base
- 6 ILLUMINATED STATUS KEYS
directional keys, mode switch button and Caps Lock key
- KEY DEACTIVATION
for disabling Windows, Menu, Caps Lock and Tab keys
- ULTRA EFFECTIVE NON-SLIP BASE
with special lock-on keyboard feet for a comfortable gaming height
Bundle

The bundle includes the installation guide, driver cd, Roccat flyer and an ad of Divinity 2 RPG-game. A bit
strangely the Arvo doesn't come with a wrist rest of any kind. That said, the design is very low and even
though I'm used to having the wrist rest attached to my previous keyboards, it didn't take long to get used
to typing without one.
