iRocks Rock Series K10 Gaming Keyboard Review

Performance

This being a gaming focused keyboard means that it really has to perform under pressure, so I fired up a few games of League of Legends and DOTA II and started mashing those keys. Firstly, the anti-ghosting features are a big win, especially for those moments when things get really frantic, or you feel the need to just mash your palm on the keys and hope for the best. Never missing a keystroke can by the difference between life and death and fortunately the K10 never let me down in this respect. Sure I still suck at both games, but that’s not the keyboards fault.

The typing action on the keys is really nice, I’ve been using a Cherry MX Black keyboard for some time now and the switches in the K10 feel like a hybrid of Black switches and membrane keyboards. It’s not as good as a mechanical, but it’s certainly better than your typical soft rubber dome tactile sensation that you normally get from membrane keys. There is a satisfying pop to each keystroke that give you good feedback, and the keys are fast enough for smooth gameplay when playing twitch shooters such as Shoot Mania.

Working day-to-day on the K10 is pretty good too, I’ve been using it for three days now and certainly have no complaints. The key caps are of a really nice quality and feel good under your finger tips, the light and fast typing action makes writing articles pleasant enough and to be honest, you would be fooled into thinking this keyboard is worth far more than the current retail price. Gamers may miss out on features such as macro keys, but at this price it is hard to be too picky about bonus features, especially when the switches performance is this good and the build quality is rock solid.
