Roccat Announces the Ryos MK FX Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
The new ROCCAT Ryos MK FX represents the chance to opt for both style and performance when you search for the perfect weapon for your gaming arsenal. Purpose built for hardcore gamers, the Ryos MK FX is the most advanced mechanical gaming keyboard on the market. Using all of ROCCAT's industry expertise and gaming experience, the Ryos MK FX boasts an amazing feature set, headed up by its impressive 16.8 million color per-key RGB illumination. It also features precise Cherry MX switches, two ARM processors and ROCCAT's intuitive Swarm driver software for easy yet, deeply customizable illumination options.
The Ryos MK FX offers fully configurable, ROCCAT-enginereed Per-Key RGB illumination in two convenient modes: preset and custom. This means you can add awesome special effects in 16.8 million colors to your keystrokes, configure your keyboard to highlight your in-game and application key bindings, your modifier keys, your system controls as well as your macro sequences and cool-downs plus much, much more.
These seemingly complex configurations are programmable in seconds with ROCCAT Swarm, the software incarnation of ROCCAT's future ready philosophy. It makes deep customization easy, with an intuitive user interface purpose designed for gamers. Together with state of the art ROCCAT hardware like the Ryos MK FX, it unveils a universe of options to customize your gaming setup to an unprecedented level. Bringing gamers closer than ever before to the in-game action, the Ryos MK FX also supports AlienFX, for exciting lighting effects tied to your favorite games.
Owing to its whopping two 32-bit ARM Cortex processors, the Ryos MK FX comes out swinging. Since the MCU is so powerful, not one of the keyboard's advanced features sacrifices an ounce of performance. And with 2MB of flash memory to store your configurations, your keyboard will execute all of your keystrokes and macros in real time, without any delay.
ROCCAT's breakthrough Easy-Shift[+] technology means each button has more winning-edge value with a secondary programmable function, for a wide array of battle possibilities. Intuitive and easy to program, with options for simple commands or complex macros, Easy-Shift[+] expands your arsenal, letting you react both rapidly and efficiently in the heat of the battle.
The Ryos MK FX comes locked and loaded with the highest quality mechanical key switches, meaning you're playing with the best the industry has to offer. With durable CHERRY MX key switches that last up to an incredible 50 million keystrokes and laser-etched, UV-coated keycaps, wear and tear will be the least of your concerns.

Why is Roccat not selling this for like 80 or so? can guarantee it would be bought in masses.
now dear Roccat ... do it in TKL and you have another buy from me and my current Ryos TKL Pro will go for my HTPC
And the other was to be able to set a key to flash x amount of times but that cannot be done unless you press 2 keys. Support told me near 15 or so months ago they were getting Swarm support for the keyboard which still today has not happened.
Not sure if it can be done with a single key with SWARM but shit they should of got this sorted out already as the last driver was some 16 ish month ago.
As for easy shift never use it turn it off as again they never got their heads out of the box they seem to be in, seems like they stopped thinking what else could we do.
MK FX don't seem to much different from the MK Pro the shell is a little different and it's RGB, just hope now they added that to swarm that MK Pro will finally get a new update finally and not buying another product of theirs until this time as it as promised in emails with them.
Going to send it back ask for a refund and pick up an MK FX next months.
Going back to my old Isku FX while i wait.
But yeah if i was you take it back and hopefully you be able too as they do not update the older software any more even if it needs it.
I have very very low light sensitivity which means red is one of the only colors that does not bother me.
I love my old Isku FX just because i can pick red as a color option on my keys.
It should be noted that my job requires me to work at night which is one of the reasons for my low light sensitivity.
As for the cherry mx switches i bought a switch sample from maxkeyboard.com that i am going to try out.
www.maxkeyboard.com/max-keyboard-keycap-cherry-mx-switch-o-ring-sampler-tester-kit.html
As for rings Rosewill do clear type although kinda expensive, there is all so pads too you can get they are like little sponges.
If i turned the lights off i would have problems seeing the keys as i am used to them being back lighted.
I am going to wait for my cherry MX switches sample to show up and then spend a few hours typing on them before i make my decision.
At this point its either red or brown as the black ones felt too heavy.
But unless i can find something better i am going with the new Roccat Ryos MK FX.
