Introduction
Manufacturer: Roccat
Product reviewed: ROCCAT Arvo - Compact Gaming Keyboard
Price: £55.99 At the time the review was written

The last of the products released under ROCCAT's synonymous SDMS range is finally with us for the close of 2009. All hail the ROCCAT Arvo. This is ROCCAT's second keyboard - boasting a compact design with some neat features such as thumbster buttons.

Not only is the Arvo the last of the products under the SDMS but it will be the last product to be released by ROCCAT in 2009.

ROCCAT comment on the Arvo saying:

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.
