Roccat Launches new Gear

Roccat Launches new Gear

ROCCAT releases an expanded range of connected devices. The ROCCAT Phobo concept made its debut in 2012, as a gaming keyboard with a slot-integrated smartphone. ROCCAT is proud to announce that this concept has been reborn as the Ryos Phobo, refined and perfected by our creative design engineers to reflect ROCCAT's Future Ready philosophy.

"When concepting Phobo, we knew we had a strong vision," explains René Korte, CEO and Founder of ROCCAT. "Still, we brought it back to the drawing board to expand and perfect the design." The changes are there, but the heart remains the same; combine an amazing gaming keyboard with smartphone tech, injecting it with software that gives amazing gaming horsepower. Smartphones of all brands and sizes rest in a wireless Ipuri setup, connected to your Ryos Phobo via two Bluetooth channels. This allows gamers to place their smartphone anywhere on the gaming surface for optimal play. Cherry MX Switch Mechanical keys, two USB ports and a tenkeyless design make the Ryos Phobo a powerful but compact gaming keyboard, with ROCCAT's new unified Swarm Driver Software built in. ROCCAT is also bolstering its strong mechanical keyboard lineup with the Ryos MK FX and, Ryos TKL FX, both with Cherry MX Switches and RGB LEDs.

"We're looking at a Q3 2015 drop date for the Ryos Phobo," says René. "I'm glad we held off on the original Phobo concept. What was once a great idea will now be a superior reality our loyal fans can hold in their hands".
 
 
CES 2015 also features ROCCAT's groundbreaking Nyth gaming mouse, a fully modular chameleon peripheral that is a glove-fit to MMO gaming, that fluidly transforms into OBA and FPS layouts thanks to custom button placement, and interchangeable side-parts. "Our growing file library of 3-D printed buttons and side-parts will ensure Nyth users get value out of Nyth years past what anyone else is offering today," effuses René. "It's adaptable and great fun to play with. Much like the human fingerprint, almost no Nyth will be the same as another once users bring their creative customizations into the picture." The Nyth is expected to hit retail shelves around Q2 2015.


Finally, with a strong addition to the Kave headset roster, ROCCAT's Kave XTD 5.1 Analog is set to provide gamers with the deeply immersive sound quality they've come to expect. Says René," The Kave series has been fantastic for us, and the XTD 5.1 Analog is the perfect addition to the family. The Noise cancelling tech built into our dual-mode, in-cable remote means full immersion, no distractions. The sound quality of every Kave has always been great, but our tweaks based in part on customer feedback and our own sound engineering goals have catapulted the XTD 5.1 Analog's audio to new heights. Also, the build quality is top notch, with twenty five percent of the weight knocked off this design." 

Audio junkies can expect to get their hands on the Kave XTD 5.1 Analog headset in the neighborhood of Q1 2015.

Guess I'll just hope my ARVO survives until Q3 and that the Ryos Phobo isn't too insanely priced.... Most of the compact keyboards available in the US are either overpriced or have poor quality. Unfortunately, my ARVO is starting to get a bit on the flaky side these days.

This could be the keyboard to beat,unless there isn't an open SDK for it. I was wondering what happened to the Skltr,and I figured since we didn't hear about it and with all the RGB keyboards coming out,I thought this would happen. If this has an open SDK for consumers I'm all over it.

Nice! I recently got a Roccat Kone XTD mouse for Christmas and I'm really liking it. To my absolute surprise there were links to 3rd party Linux drivers/tools for their gaming planks/mice right on their website and they do support the developer by giving him(her?) hardware prior to launch in order to have the driver/tools ready for them when the products hit the shelves. Simply an awesome thing to do IMO and one of the main reasons I am now a Roccat fan. I've had no problems with the Linux tools for my mouse and was a simple install on Arch via the AUR.

With the MK keyboard soon to be available with RGB LED's + Linux support totally makes it a no brainer for me. Sorry Corsair.. I do think your k70 is more aesthetically pleasing.. but I've gotta vote with my wallet on this one.
