ROCCAT announces Suora mechanical keyboard
ROCCAT today announces a brand new mechanical keyboard. The Suora’s frameless design channels its philosophy as a pure and efficient mechanical keyboard for no-frills gamers.
Its robust, compact build with aluminum alloy housing provides a consistent, distraction-free platform. It features a unique build with an entirely frameless structure. No palm rest, no thick border, no thumb keys, and no unnecessary media keys – just high-quality, mechanical keys mounted on a durable plate. The key back-lighting in exclusive ROCCAT blue comes with a breathing effect and 11 brightness levels, with top notch lighting guaranteed.
The raw design lets you get closer in touch with the action, for lightning-fast and distraction-free gameplay. It isn’t much good having an intuitively designed keyboard built for speed if the keys can’t keep up with your hot action. The Suora features an advanced anti-ghosting matrix that ensures every key stroke will be registered, time and time again. With its 1000Hz (1ms) polling rate the Suora will be with you every key stroke of the way, each and every time. Its solid construction is complemented by tough mechanical keys with a staggering 50 million key stroke lifecycle.
- Advanced anti-ghosting with N-key rollover
- 1000Hz polling rate
- 50 million keystroke lifecycle (TTC switches)
- Multimedia functions
- 6 programmable macro keys
Suora also comes complete with full ROCCAT Swarm support. Swarm is the software incarnation of ROCCAT’s future ready philosophy. It’ll cover you for all relevant gaming platforms and devices. It’s the next-gen system that keeps on top of all games, apps and ROCCAT products in one place. It’s a veritable gaming command HQ that’ll keep you up to speed. The ROCCAT Suora will be available early in July 2016. The MSRP is 99,99 Euro/USD.

And in Finnish it means "straigth", "line", "direct", "straigthforward", ... I think its quite a match for the design.

A good portion Roccat devices have a name that's more or less sensible in Finnish. Maybe some of the others are Italian if they have caught your attention?
Kone = Machine
Isku = Strike
Kova = Hard
Kiro = Curse
Syva = Deep (it's an in-ear headset)
Kulo = a sort of fire
Apuri = Assistant, sidekick
Siru = Chip
Taito = Skill
Arvo = Value, worth
Savu = Smoke
That's only a portion of them. Asgardi already mentioned what the one from this article means. There are some that are a bit more twisted, but could still easily be from Finnish and as fitting as the ones listed above.

Yep, Roccat has a weird habit of naming their products with Finnish words.

"When I asked Roccat about this, they led me to a video clip on their site, that told me a story about team of scientists working at Lake Inari (Lapland of Finland) where they found some mysterious material called Aimo (Finnish male name, which I found funny). Apparently, each Roccat product contains some of this material and that is the secret that makes them as good as they are"
