ROCCAT Horde AIMO (ROC-12-351-BK)

Roccat Horde AIMO
(ROC-12-351-BK)

Enjoy the best of both worlds with the Horde AIMO Membranical RGB Gaming Keyboard from ROCCAT. Combining aspects of both membrane and mechanical keyboard technology, the Horde promises to provide a fast, yet silent, keyboarding experience.

The Horde AIMO is compatible with Windows-based PCs, and provides a full-sized keyboard layout, including separate arrow keys, numerical keypad, and five, low-profile macro keys. All keys are illuminated with ROCCAT's AIMO RGB lighting system, which is designed to react intuitively to your behavior, providing different patterns and effects whether you're gaming or idle.

The Horde also features a set of multimedia keys, along with a unique, 360-degree tuning wheel that is meant to give you the ability to control multiple aspects of the keyboard in one location. Anti-ghosting technology has been applied to the Horde to allow for the ability to press multiple keys simultaneously without error.

Membranical Keys
The Horde AIMO is created with a combination of membrane and mechanical keyboard technologies for a "Membranical" experience. With ordinary membrane keys, a key has to be pressed all of the way down to be registered. By comparison, the physical switches in mechanical keys are registered with only a partial keypress, as the physical switch inside each key actuates sooner with a corresponding audible click.

ROCCAT's Membranical design is meant to combine the best of both worlds. The keyboard utilizes membrane technology for less noise, but is constructed in such a way as to actuate each key midway through a keypress, which mimics the speed advantage of a mechanical design.

AIMO RGB LED Lighting System
A total of 12 RGB LEDs provide 6-zone illumination for the AIMO lighting experience. AIMO is designed to provide vivid illumination that reacts intuitively and organically to your computing behavior, eliminating the need for custom configurations. The functionality of AIMO has been programmed to grow exponentially based on the number of AIMO-enabled devices connected to your PC.

Tuning Wheel
Many settings can be controlled by the Horde, such as media volume, LED brightness, and much more. The Tuning Wheel makes adjusting all of these features convenient by managing all of them itself. When an option is selected, simply spin the 360-degree Tuning Wheel to make your adjustments. The Tuning Wheel is also fully compatible with Windows 10 Dial functionality.

Anti-Ghosting
Many games feature commands and controls that require multiple keyboard keys to be pressed simultaneously. The Horde supports that in the typical areas used by PC games. Supported keys include W, A, S, and D, the arrow keys, spacebar, and some surrounding keys.

ROCCAT Swarm
Swarm is ROCCAT's software that gives users the ability to customize and control multiple aspects of their peripheral's features, as well as providing users with the ability to install Windows drivers for each product.
