Closer Look
As soon as you lift the Ryos MK Glow, you realize how sturdy and solid it
actually is. ROCCAT has created a keyboard that gives a sense of maximum quality to the user at any time, and it did a pretty good job. The whole keyboard is made of plastic material with different finishing, including the wrist rest.
The Ryos MK Glow is one of the bigger keyboards tested so far, especially thanks to the palm rest that is integrated into the chassis. There is no USB
hub or audio jacks and the only interface you will find on the Ryos MK Glow is the USB you need
in order to connect it to the PC. The ROCCAT Ryos MK Glow is a mechanical keyboard and uses the Cherry MX switches (available with Cherry MX Brown
or Black MX switches), making its use very reactive.
On the left side of the keyboard you find five programmable keys, which can be set up using the free software
available on the ROCCAT official website. On the top side we find the F-keys, with F1 through F3 we can adjust the sound level, while from F5 to F8 we have the usual multimedia keys for pause and play videos and music.
The Cherry MX Black switches are perfect for all those who call themselves "hardcore
gamers". The key pressure is precise and linear, the feedback that this gives keyboard is definitely good. The blue backlight, with 5 levels of intensity, is more than enough to fully illuminate the keys, and
make the keyboard very comfortable to use in the dark. On this model as well as
on other ROCCAT products, LED block with Num, Caps and Scr are positioned close to the arrows.
Back
On the back of the keyboard there is the classic label showing the serial of the product and escape routes that will help you with the USB cable.
The stability is ensured with four rubber feet well placed in the corners of the keyboard plus another, huge, under the palm rest. In other words, it is practically impossible that the Ryos MK Glow moves from the desk without being raised. Obviously there are two little feet, also with rubber ends,
which tilts the keyboard to a certain angle.
