Conclusion
| General | + | - | |
| Despite the rather bulky size of the product and the fact that there aren't any special features such as macro buttons or volume control, the Sova Lapboard is an overall easy to use product. It's rather unique and therfore kind of new to the gaming industry. The compact keyboard is quite comfortable thanks to the integrated palm rest, however, we can not tell the same for the wide mousepad placed on the right side of the Lapboard. The design is functional and with some slight improvements we are sure it can be a good playmate. We remind you that the keyboard features a blue backlight and it's also available with TTC mechanical switches or with rubber domes as in our case. |

| Manufacturing quality / Ergonomics | + | - | |
| From an ergonomics point of view, the keyboard is very comfortable to use despite being fully anchored to the base structure of the product. When it comes to build quality our sample was well finished and overall the product feels pretty sturdy. The blue backlight is adjustable and precise despite it's not entirely consistent in the case of the dual-function buttons. The only aspect which we believe should be improved is the mouse pad area, which should be more solid. We appreciate the two additional USB ports placed on the back, which are perfect for headphones and USB flash drives. The rubber coated cables measure four meters in length. |
- Build quality
- Backlight - Good size |
- Right hand user only
- Plastic mousepad |

| Recommendation / Price | + | - | |
| In the end the Roccat Sova Lapboard is an interesting product that could be useful for everybody loves to play from the sofa. We tested this device with different games and we did not find particular limitations. The starting price of the Roccat Sova Lapboard is 149 euro for the rubber dome version and 199 euro for the one with mechanical keyboard. In our opinion the price is a bit steep. | - Price | ||
