The Isku FX looks similar to the original Isku keyboard, but the FX edition has customisable key backlighting. It also has a bank of five macro keys to the left and multimedia shortcuts at the top. Roccat’s unique Thumbster keys are also here, giving you quick access to in-game shortcuts without taking your hands off the WASD keys. The wrist rest made typing comfortable, and although the membrane keys aren’t as desirable for gamers as mechanical keys, they were responsive.
Unlike the original Isku, the FX is just as easy to use in bright light as it is in the dark. You can pick a colour, set a rotating pattern or fading effect and turn off the backlighting completely, but you can’t set different colours to individual keys. Annoyingly, there’s no way to change the profile or Thumbster key LEDs, which are permanently blue.
The FX is a real improvement over the original Isku. Some gamers may prefer mechanical keys, but if you want complete control over your backlight, we can see its appeal.
