More space on the desktop without the need to forgo all the usual functions. This and a whole lot more besides is offered by the compact ROCCAT™ Arvo. It’s the first keyboard to offer a gaming mode integrated into the numpad and unique thumbster keys. These three extra keys can be assigned macros or the practical timer function, which can’t be found on any other keyboard on the planet.

SIZE MATTERS
It’s no coincidence that the ROCCAT™ Arvo is part of the ROCCAT™ Smart Desktop Management System. In contrast to other keyboards, it only has a tiny desktop footprint. As a result, neither the mousepad nor mouse will get in your way – plus optimum use is made of the gaming zone. The Arvo is perfect even for arrow key gamers, who prefer to position their keyboards diagonally to the monitor and mousepad, as it doesn’t collide with the monitor or hang over the edge of the desk.

DUAL-ASSIGNMENT NUM PAD
You don’t have sacrifice anything with the ROCCAT™ Arvo. The smaller size has been achieved simply by combining the numpad and arrow-key pad. This means that it has all the usual keyboard functions, yet it takes up considerably less space. It’s easy to switch between normal and gaming mode simply by pressing the mode switch button. In gaming mode the arrow keys are illuminated in blue which means gaming even in the dark isn’t a problem. What’s more, two additional, freely programmable macro keys are available which are positioned for optimum access to the left and right of the arrow keys.

UNIQUE THUMBSTER KEYS
You’ll find three further macro keys positioned beneath the spacebar. These can be individually programmed and can be easily operated using the thumb without being pressed accidently. At last, there’s something new for your thumb to do apart from just hitting the spacebar. From now on you can cast healing or attack spells with your thumb. Another unique function is the ROCCAT™ Timer which allows the time it takes for special items to revive to be timed to perfection in many games. The ROCCAT™ Timer can be executed, paused or stopped to within a fraction of a second.

Looks nice, but I'd only get this if I really needed to space. Num pad key swapping could really be a pain.
 
Purchased a few days ago, looking forward to it arriving :)

Will provide a wee mini review of it once I've used it if that is ok??
 
Ok it arrived.... first impressions are it's small. obviously. I've taken a few pics of it beside my 'normal' keyboard for size comparisions, will upload shortly.

Very well made piece of kit, however I am taking a little longer than I thought to adjust to typing on it - it feels more like typing on a laptop for some reason, so I'm making more typo's than I would on a full size keyboard at the speeds I normally type at.

Gaming wise - I've been using it with cod4 and bf2 and have found no issues at all, in fact I love it. Because it's smaller it doesn't 'get in the way' of my razer exactmat, which is pretty big (small desk). no issues with keys being accidently hit or anything and the thumb macro buttons are an excellent touch.

Prob not for everyone, as the small size of the keyboard won't be a requirement for everyone, but overall am very happy with it!!!
 
Looks nice but apart from size, given the price, not sure i would purchase one over the Logitech G15 (v2 isnt overly big, anyway).
