Wonder how long the LEDs will last on this one
I owned 3 MK Pro's which are good keyboards but all 3 had the problem that one or more LEDs start failing under random keys after a month or 2-3.

You should include the product support into your reviews, too!

Hello
This kind of Hardrware is very expensive and we know ROCCAT to have a very bad support. E.g. we have bought two MK Pro about 2 years ago, have very bad problems with them (they often get not detected on boot, we can not wake them if the fall asleep and the Configuration Software is buggy ) and since then we got one answer to those problems (but no solution) and we asked for help many times - but they just ignore us.

So you can hope the actual drivers and software are perfect - otherwise you'll pay much money but just have a partially working hardware.

Kind regards, Tom
