it's just about one word to describe the rockets war ah simple in a day and age with motor mechanical gaming keyboards just aren't it could be a real breath of fresh air but like everything this will really come down to personal preference from the outset I can say like some things about the simple design of this keyboard for sure however there's other things that absolutely rule it out it's my daily driver let's take a tour around the keyboard first the first thing you have to notice is how absolutely no space is wasted here on the swara the only way it could have been smaller would be to either cut off the 10 key numpad or squish the keys into an uncomfortable level maintaining the full standard layout roughly of squeeze in all of your standing keys and then some taking the swara from mechanical keyboard to mechanical gaming keyboard classification in my eyes are the inclusions of the dedicated game mode button and the macro controls built in as a secondary function on the insert home and del page up and page down Keys another awesome inclusion is the dedicated volume control keys also found at the top right at the keyboard these simple and extremely useful additions what escalate this keyboard from minimal to simple in my eyes and I believe it's a really good compromise the keyboard is also fully backlit another telltale sign of a gaming keyboard this also saved rocker from adding any dedicated LED indicators for capslock and his friends which are instead indicated on the keys themselves the face up body of the keyboard is made from a durable and quite smudge resistant aluminium not that much of it faces up you can only really see the section with the rocket logo above the arrow keys during use but it looks good and also gives a nice slightly reflective glow from the above switch blue LEDs behind the key caps the sides of the body are a glossy smudge attracting surface however it's black around and it's a small unnoticeable section really at the back of the keyboard you'll find the swirl logo as long as a tagline reading frameless mechanical gaming keyboard the underside is simple featuring two flip-down legs with rubberized feet and four rubber pads at the front to keep the keyboard in place the design is capped off with a nice braided cable and that's about all there is to say about it this Rocket keyboard employers not Cheria Max or Kyle switches but instead TTC Braun mechanical switches which I haven't encountered before I know the TTC red switches were featured on the budget my keyboard and from all reports they're very similar to the Cherry MX Reds these TTC brown switches seem to follow suit the very similar and feel and sound to the Cherry MX browns if anything they feel slightly lighter and make a high-pitched sound the switches are rated for 50 million strokes but as they're relatively new on the market it's tough to say how they'll stand up but based on their feel and appearance I wouldn't expect them to roll over and die anytime soon but again that's an educated guess at this point I don't think rocket would include a switch there wasn't the barre leash for liable for actual typing this keyboard feels great and this is how it sounds I personally much prefer to have a wrist rest so that was negative for me but the keys layout and backlighting all made for a great user experience the dedicated game mode key is handy and can be quickly toggled on and off without looking even and the function key and MIDI controls are great I myself wouldn't choose to do extensive typing on this keyboard because I find having a wrist rest much more ergonomic however for those that don't need one this keyboard is entirely suitable rocket's wom software controls the swara though thankfully it's not required for almost all of its functions before installing it I was able to toggle between nine different backlight brightness levels plus off and a breathing effect after installing and updating the swarm software I was then able to tinker with the character repeat rate adjust key assignment and strangely switch on sound feedback that makes us sound from your speakers every time you make a keystroke there's four sounds to choose from including a click a typewriter sound a beam sound and sci-fi sounds they're all bad and anyone that uses it is another but this inclusion obviously doesn't take away from the keyboard it's more like a funny prank you can pull over all the swore is good at what it's meant to be it's a simple mature to the point product that gives users a full layout without taking up any extra room on the desk I think it hit a good sweet spot between minimalism and features including handy things like dedicated volume control and the game mode key the function key also opens up a few more Handy controls and this is something we see on almost all keyboards these days I was a little surprised I had to install multiple updates to the swamp software in order to eventually interact with the keyboard through it however overall I'd say the software is pretty unnecessary anyway you only opened it up to use it if you want to change key assignment or messed around with one of the strangest features I've seen included in the keyboard accompanying software the sound feedback feature which was surely just included as a laughs in a simply designed mechanical keyboard like this pricing is going to be a huge factor the suarez shown you at this stage is not listed on you egg or Amazon yet however I did find it available for pre-order EB Games in Australia for a hundred and sixty dollars this is a little pricey in my eyes but all mechanical keyboards in Australia are really I believe this warrior is due to hit us retailers this month and it should be available for a hundred US dollars which is a little more than I'd like to pay for this feature set however for those that are trying to find the small desk footprint and simplicity then it will be well worth it comparing this to say the gigabyte for scale III for example if I got to choose I would choose this war for sure it's only an extra twenty US dollars in Australia though the fourth kd3 can be had for ninety five bucks quite a bit cheaper than the swara let's hope the pricing comes down a little down under it should be be games aren't known for being super price competitive so what do you think of
