More On: ROCCAT Kova

Two years ago at E3, ROCCAT initially announced their concept plans for a couch based keyboard called the Sova. The design was to be a premium experience that featured an integrated mouse pad, keyboard with exceptionally long battery life. While they also had units on display for a hands on, it was still a concept that hadn’t been released to market yet. While at the 2016 CES meeting, we didn’t see it and frankly, forgot about it. However, today ROCCAT brought the Sova and Sova MK back to the forefront with the announcement that it is now up for Preorder at Newegg. The Sova can be ordered with membrane or mechanical keys, and will retail (with a Free Kova mouse) for $149.99 for membrane and $199.99 for Mechanical (SK).
