ROCCAT Skeltr Gaming Keyboard Review

They weight of the package was heavy for a keyboard but upon opening it the quality of the packaging answered why. The product is held in a heavy duty cardboard clamshell that was held by a cardboard sleeve that the information (pictures, features, logo, etc.) were printed on. The keyboard itself was supported on its sides with the cardboard and protected with anti-static plastic.
