ROCCAT Sova | Gaming Lapboard - How to set up

ROCCAT® SOVA – GAMING-LAPBOARD

The new era in PC gaming has begun.
The ROCCAT Sova Gaming Board has finally arrived and we show you how to set it up.

For decades the living room has been the near exclusive domain of console gaming. Millions have enjoyed playing on the couch, experiencing the casual ease of plug-and-play fun that comes with it. While smaller PCs and various streaming technologies have cracked the door slightly over the years, Sova kicks that door wide open.

Truly bridging the gap between desk-and-chair PC gaming and living room play, Sova provides the vital key ingredient every PC gamer has lacked who wants to experience their favorite games from the comfort of a couch or chair via PC, Steam machine, or streaming device.

You already own everything you need to get started - all that’s left to add is the Sova.

My dog chewed up the cable connecting to my PC. The lapboard and its cable connector are fine. Do you sell replacement cables?

If I used this with a laptop would both usb's have to be plugged directly into the laptop or could they be plugged into a hub or have one usb plugged into the laptop directly and one plugged into a passthrough usb?

Hi! I just bought Roccat Sova. I installed Roccat Swarm and plug it via USB. The keyboard works fine, but the illuminating lights are in constant pulse. When I try to change it with Swarm it does nothing. Any idea why?

Is there an optional padded wrist rest?

Hey roccat love the sova had it about a week. I didn't realize you were supposed to plug in both USB cables. I've been plugging just one in and it works fine. I thought the other USB pig tail was for maybe plugging in another device if you ran out of USB ports. What's the purpose of plugging both USB into the computer?

I know the Roccat Sova // MK is shown to have higher profile keys than the regular Roccat Sova (which is membrane), but I havn't seen any videos yet of the regular Roccat Sova.

Since I prefer a low-profile keyboard, which would have lower profile keys, the regular Roccat Sova or the Roccat Isku FX?

[UltimateSesshoumaru]

The more I look at the Sova, the more I want to buy it because I miss my laptop set-up. It even looks like this keyboard setup is good enough to be used even as just a pure desktop keyboard, even if you would not use it in front of the t.v.

Since there are removable cushions on the bottom of the board, think that playing on a flat surface like a table/desk that perhaps you can play even with the cushions on and the keyboard might remain fairly stable anyways? (I know silly question, but I am just trying to replicate my old laptop experience, and it sat on top of a cooler so it's cool that there are removable cushions to change the height for more optimization).

TLDR; Think you can play on a flat desk/table with the removable cushions on and the board will remain stable?

Hello Thank you can you make a Video for the Roccat Kova in Black i have buy them

Since the mouse pad area on the right side is about 27.5 x 24 cm (about 10.83 x 9.45 in) (also, please correct me if these dimensions are wrong), and I know that this mouse pad area is removable, do you think I could place my own cloth mouse pad within this area that is about 10.65" x 8.45"?

I mostly want to know how large the removable area of the mouse pad on the right side is, because I read that it was 27.5 x 24 cm (about 10.83 x 9.45 in)?
