It’d be nice to take your computer into the living room and have your friends check out your progress, but outside of a few controller-friendly titles you’re not going to have a good time using a keyboard and mouse on your lap. It’s actually an aluminum and plastic shell made to fit Corsair’s popular K70 keyboard — which happens to be my gaming keyboard of choice. ROCCAT's most popular software features reside under the hood of Sova, making it not only comfortable, convenient and customizable, but powerful. Eventually you’ll damage that braided cord, but long before that happens you’ll likely just smack the mouse into the wall — or the Lapdog itself — and it’ll stop working.noise as the key switches rebounded; happily this is only really noticeable when you’re typing in silence, any background music covers it up immediately. Sure, it's not quite as effortless and easy to extricate yourself from as the Corsair K83 Wireless, but it still does everything I want it to, and it does it without compromise.

The compact keyboard layout ensure that your arms can be held almost straight ahead, rather than being stretched out in either direction, and the height of the unit is just right too. The hump in the middle turns it into a teeter-totter, and the weak magnets threaten to send the aluminum business on top sliding onto the floor. While I was getting familiar with the product, a quote from a Roccat rep felt appropriate as a quick introduction to what Roccat is aiming for here: PC Gaming is great until you grow tired of sitting at your desk and long for the luxury that console players have: sitting on the couch or bed.Of course, this makes sense — when you’re playing at a desk, your monitor is going to be only a metre away from you at most, so seeing these details is easier. There are many things I like about working from home, but having to play games in my office at the weekend because that's where my gaming PC lives isn't one of them. It sits right between your legs, which puts the lapboard into a position that’s acceptable for WASD-and-mouse use but very uncomfortable for general typing. As a result, the Roccat Sova goes straight in as my new best lapboard recommendation on my best gaming keyboard list.
