Proximity of the M keys on the left, It's not good for normal typing, Lack of USB ports, Body too big, requires lots of table space
The Roccat Isku is the ideal keyboard for strategy and RPG games that have many complex commands. It features a great capacity for customization, and the application offers useful presets for many hot games on the market. The illumination is beautiful and...
Abstract: At Gamers Daily News, we have been impressed beyond description by the German based company Roccat. When we reviewed the Kone+ mouse, we not only found a fabulously ergonomic mouse with fantastic software, but also discovered a company with customer se...
Well made, Tons of features gamers will appreciate, Works in combination with ROCCAT Kone Mouse
Not mechanical, Rather expensive, Very big keyboard, Really can’t see keys without light on, Some keys can be hard to see at angles
I don’t think I’ve ever come across a keyboard quite like the ROCCAT Isku. The Isku just has a plethora of features that gamers of all skill levels will appreciate. Novice games might even find that their scores get a boost thanks to the Isku and the ...

Roccat Isku can be concluded in one sentence – it is a beauty! It looks nice, has loads of features, and feels good to type on. Considering Isku isn’t a mechanical keyboard, the pricetag of 100€ might be a bit out of the limits for some customers. Don...
While Roccat's aim of shifting fiddly mouse controls to a keyboard is a good idea, the Isku is unpleasant to use thanks to its flimsy build quality and poor key action. What's more, the only mouse that currently supports Roccat Talk is the lacklustre Kone...
When we reviewed the Arvo we found it to be a keyboard with some cool features but not up to the usual Roccat standards due to its compact nature. Thankfully the Isku is everything you could expect, and lots of things that you didn't.The overwhelming feel...
The way illumination is made, No mechanical switches, Price
Roccat Isku is a good choice for gamers. There are a lot of macros available so for example for role players Isku would be ideal. Roccat Isku’s price is around 90 € so it’s not a cheap keyboard. For 100 Euros there are several mechanical keyboards ava...
