Roccat Sova

[jameslr]

Saw this on Techspot today. Looks...kinda comfy. The layout is pretty non-standard as can be expected of boards that stray from traditional form factor. Still, I'd use this in my living room I think...

Pretty interesting overall. Should be good to see some reviews when it arrives.

this could work...

A 75% bigger than a Unicomp ? Now that's some creative thinking 

[Frenir]

Interesting idea, then you could hook it up to a computer in one of Lian Li's new cases.

Potato couch rejoice.

Roccat announce new concept... a wireless MX keyboard mounted in a lapboard with mouse surface design to be used on sofa.

Looks comfy, Im a bit worried about the built quality when it so large.

Just started to decorate my living room, and wanted to pair my pc with my 55inch plasma when playing some games. this is exactly what i need. good spot

I don't like the idea of having a keyboard permanently affixed to a platform that sits on your lap.

Don't stuff like this put pressure on the thighs and causes blood clot or thrombosis?

Ah! I would build some leg things to make it a tray over my legs.
Bottom key row is meh.

It even lets you use a wired mouse, plug it into this thing, and the entire thing is then wireless.

What good is a lapboard if you're sitting at a desk?

I would get one for my HTPC.  Does suck about the bottom row

I meant that the wired mouse plugs into the base (or somewhere), and the keyboard and the mouse are then wireless, through what the rest of the included electronics can do. Said something like 12 or so hours for both of them, which considering it's powering both things isn't bad from what I've seen of gaming wireless mice.

I was just asking a general question, not necessarily directing it at you, per se.

Too bad the mouse pad is on the wrong side. They should have made it modular with keyboard and pad modules interchangeable.

I've heard that they are going to make the mousepad and the wrist rest modular, but I don't understand why the keyboard has to be unmodular and 60%.

I think they could make it a lot cooler and useful, perhaps they will - this is the first we hear of it anyway.
