Set to make its first public appearance at Gamescom 2014 in Cologne, Germany, ROCCAT’s Skeltr is a fully integrated smartphone and keyboard combo that aims to bring social interaction and gaming into perfect balance.
“Life doesn’t stop because you’re gaming. We receive calls, we†make†calls, we text. The Skeltr is the answer to a world where gaming, interacting with your friends, and utilizing a second-screen as a tool in the game arsenal makes a lot of sense,” says René Korte, CEO and founder of ROCCAT. “Our feedback-built Skeltr is Bluetooth compatible, allowing the smooth visualization of vital PC data to your smart device. It allows gamers to use their phones as a highly interactive compliment to the game they are playing. We also believe being able to use your keyboard to communicate on your smartphone is a no-brainer feature ROCCAT fans will deeply appreciate. Our designers worked very hard to make these integrative experiences that gamers can use second nature, without distraction.”
Skeltr includes a built-in smartphone stand that allows users to sync to the keyboard via Bluetooth, allowing the smartphone to be used as a second display. The keyboard’s sliding rail and rotating holster is designed to fit every size smart device. With RGB illumination and no ghosting, the Skeltr boasts every other function that comes with a ROCCAT keyboard.
“The Skeltr is our first foray into this new world of keyboard and smartphone integration, but it certainly won’t be our last,” adds Korte.
A release date for the Skeltr keyboard is expected later this year.†
