ROCCAT™ RYOS TKL PRO – TENKEYLESS MECHANICAL GAMING KEYBOARD WITH PER-KEY ILLUMINATION
The most advanced, customizable tenkeyless mechanical keyboard ever. Introducing the Per-Key illuminated ROCCAT™ Ryos TKL Pro. Powered by lighting engine 2.0 and with a ton of configuration options plus your choice of CHERRY MX key switch in four colors, you can RISE ABOVE, and lead the charge into gaming greatness.
ADD LIGHT TO YOUR ARSENAL
Powered by lighting engine 2.0, the Ryos TKL Pro offers totally customizable, ROCCAT™-engineered PER-KEY ILLUMINATION with enhanced lighting effects. This means you can add awesome special effects such as fade to your keystrokes, plus loads more. You can also configure your keyboard to highlight your in-game and application key bindings, modifier keys, macro sequences, cool downs, system controls and more. The included software development kit ensures that only your imagination is the limit.
COMPACT, TENKEYLESS FORMAT
ROCCAT’s Ryos TKL Pro boasts virtually all of the powerful features of its bigger brother, the Ryos MK Pro, in a compact tenkeyless format ideal for hardcore gamers who put pure functionality above all else. The numpad-free tenkeyless design means there’s less space between your WASD keys and your mousepad, perfect for those who game optimally when there’s less distance between their wrists. The added benefit of the Ryos TKL Pro’s compact design is that it reduces desk clutter without sacrificing features.
KEY CONFIGURATIONS TO SUIT EVERY GAME
With the Ryos TKL Pro, EASY-SHIFT[+]™ becomes the completely remappable easy keyboard. Together with the Easy-Shift[+]™ and FN keys, you can assign a secondary key function to virtually every key on the keyboard, to suit every game and key configuration. Add to this the fact that you can store 470 macros in the keyboard’s flash memory, and you’ve got an insanely customizable, fast-acting piece of gaming hardware on your hands.
KEY SWITCHES TO SUIT EVERY GAMER
The Ryos TKL Pro comes with the four most popular key switch colors; blue, black, brown and red, meaning you can pick the key switches that suit you. With durable CHERRY® MX KEY SWITCHES that last up to an incredible 50 MILLION keystrokes and laser-etched, UV-coated keycaps, wear and tear will be the least of your concerns.
ROCCAT™ DRIVER + R.A.D.
The Ryos TKL Pro features ROCCAT™’s comprehensive driver suite that provides total control over your keyboard. Easily create an army of time-saving macros, adjust your illumination, set your key functions, and build up to five profiles that auto-launch with your favorite games – and lots more. The ROCCAT™ driver also features R.A.D. (ROCCAT™ Achievements Display) for a host of useful stats on how you use your Ryos TKL Pro, such as total keystrokes, most-used keys and much more.

I`ve got ROCCAT Ryos MK Pro and it`s a great keyboard apart from dying LED`s... About 10 of them already doesn`t glitter anymore... and it`s not even one year old...

Agreed, I have it too and about 20+ LEDS are dead but I am not too fused since I paid £18 for it from Amazon Warehouse Deals back in June. As for this one hot for a brand new mechanical keyboard.

Blue.. you need to look for an RGB keyboard to have multicolour options.

I quite fancy switching to a TKL but that wrist rest doesn't look removable.

thanks, ordered. I added the panasonic AAA batteries suggested at the checkout to get the >= £50 free delivery.

Good and we can always do with batteries :smiley:

p.s. I particularly like this one because it's got a full-sized enter key. Lots of mech keyboards are adapted from US models with a small one.

Nearly all mech keyboards sold by UK retailers are ISO layout. The manufacturer just doesnt bother supplying product images for both layouts.

I got this in June. Lovely keyboard. The brown switches are a delight and I've have no dead LED's so far (touch wood).

My tenkeyless Roccat arrived yesterday evening. So far I am very pleased. MX Browns have a nice feel and not too noisy.
The oddity is the way keys are printed, sort of upside down, so the 2 key has the double quotes under the digit. All the keys with two characters on them are like that. Just takes a little getting used to.
I'm just trying to build the roccat tools for linux, so I can reconfigure the backlight. By default only the F keys and WASD light up. When you type the last key pressed lights up for a short while, which is probably a bad idea if you have to type in passwords a lot!
