The mechanical keyboard is to the point where if your are considering the board as an option, I would just go with the membrane version and save yourself 40+ bucks. If you've never used a mechanical keyboard before, this might not be as obvious, but to someone who has used a variety of them. The keys are kind of mushy and the space bar feels kind of loose.

The mechanical keyboard it comes with does not feel high quality. So, this is where we are going to start to come into some issues with this lapboard. The logos are huge (particularly on the mouse pad) and I would've liked to have seen them a bit more understated. While I didn't mind the overall look, it does fall into a bit of that too gamer-y style for me. You can't customize this with key combinations, you need to use the app to change it. The keys lit up in a nice blue color, but the default animation of the keys is a pulse that got kind of annoying (personal preference). Hooking it up was very simple, it was merely plug and play with my PlayStation 4 and it hooked up very easily with the Steam Link. Don't let that deter you though, it kind of needs to be large to accommodate all of its features. It's pretty sleek/stylish for what it is, and although I thought it would be fairly large, it seemed even bigger than I was expecting when it arrived. On my first look at the Roccat Sova Lapboard in person I was impressed by the look of it.

If you are unfamiliar with the concept of a lapboard, it is meant as an option for us gamers who just can't let go of the keyboard and mouse but still want to play on our couch! Roccat's Sova model provides an option for people like me, and features a version that has a quality mouse pad with a mechanical keyboard. Our Roccat Sova Lapboard Review will walk you through the details of this gaming lapboard.
