About this deal

Sure, it's not quite as effortless and easy to extricate yourself from as the Corsair K83 Wireless, but it still does everything I want it to, and it does it without compromise. The only other flaw I can identify with the keyboard is that you can’t change the backlighting style without installing the Roccat Swarm software. The breakthroughs and innovations that we uncover lead to new ways of thinking, new connections, and new industries.

While storage was a big problem for both the gaming lapboards I tested, it was much more of an issue for the Lapdog because there’s really no elegant solution to keep your mouse safe. It is the essential source of information and ideas that make sense of a world in constant transformation. Sure, I played Duck Hunt and Mortal Kombat with my cousins growing up, and I’ve watched a lot of Halo, but it wasn’t until I started playing them myself that I became ensnared in a gear-related Gordian knot.

It sits right between your legs, which puts the lapboard into a position that’s acceptable for WASD-and-mouse use but very uncomfortable for general typing. The channel along the front is also deep enough for you to stash the extra length of your mouse cable inside, so there's no loops hanging around to get caught on things. All the keys are wonderfully spaced and give a good amount of tactile feedback, and the decent-sized mouse mat area provides more than enough room for zipping the camera back and forth as you scout out those last hidden Hyenas and pesky True Sons hangers-on when you're right in the thick of it. When I first started playing PUBG with a coworker, he found it amusing that I played in my living room, bouncing around and eating and occasionally throwing things.The Turret, on the other hand, wasn't nearly as stable when I tried it out for myself during my CES demo, and the mouse mat area also felt a lot smaller than what you get on the Sova. Eventually you’ll damage that braided cord, but long before that happens you’ll likely just smack the mouse into the wall — or the Lapdog itself — and it’ll stop working. Instead of a giant, useless pillow on the bottom, there are just four discrete, easily removable pads. ROCCAT's most popular software features reside under the hood of Sova, making it not only comfortable, convenient and customizable, but powerful. The hard wrist rest did occasionally start rubbing after a while, but that was usually only after several hours of non-stop play and certainly long enough to get a good afternoon's game time in.

Your Keyboard, Your Choice Coming in both mechanical and membrane keyboard varieties, the Sova provides the precise feel for every player's preference, with the same key backlighting fans of ROCCAT know and love. The Sova is MX Cherry switch-equipped keyboard that's been fused onto a hefty aluminum chassis and sports two removable modules for a wrist rest and mouse pad. The palmrest and mousepad are formed from plastic panels, which can be removed by pushing them up from the bottom.There are many things I like about working from home, but having to play games in my office at the weekend because that's where my gaming PC lives isn't one of them. WIRED may earn a portion of sales from products that are purchased through our site as part of our Affiliate Partnerships with retailers. That’s why Roccat have developed this ‘lapboard’, essentially a platform for your keyboard and mouse that is fully couch-compatible. There’s also a little grommet to hook into in front of each one, which will put the strain of a bump onto the cable jacket rather than the USB port itself.
