- Quick-start guide
Q: I have a nickel allergy. Will this trigger a breakout?
A: Hi and thank you for your interest in ROCCAT. We needed a little time to thoroughly research, however, we can now confirm that while some of the internal components of the keyboard are partially made of nickel, you would never be exposed to any of them during normal use, which includes taking off keycaps and cleaning the device. Only disassembling the keyboard, which would void the warranty, could result in exposure. You are therefore safe to use the keyboard so long as you use it as intended. You may also discuss this with your doctor for further advise. If you are looking for further information or have more questions, our support team is more than happy to provide any information you are looking for. Please feel free to reach out using the contact form on our official support website whenever you have a question.
Q: Is this compatible with a MAC computer? Thank you in advance!
A: Thanks for your inquiry! The Pyro keyboard is compatible with MacOS. However, the SWARM software that is designed to be used alongside it would only be compatible with Windows. This means that the keyboard's functions would be limited to those of a generic keyboard.
A: It's pretty quiet. I didn't want a super clicky mechanical keyboard, and this one is pretty quiet. Maybe not as quiet as non-mechanical, but a lot quieter than most mechanical keyboards. I forget which color of switches it has... I think brown? But they're the quieter ones compared to red or blue.
A: Hi and thanks for your interest in our product. The Pyro's FN button can not be toggled off or on permanently, you will therefore need to press FN whenever you want to use its functionality.
Q: Are the keys considered "analog" or simple on/off. Prefer the latter, myself.
A: The Pyro keyboard is not an analog keyboard and registers digital input instead, meaning there are two signal types only: Depressed and not depressed or put simply, on and off.
A: I mean you do need the software to do extra lighting, or wave rgb. Which means how the rgb shows or changes it pattern of lights. If you don’t have the app. The rgb will still work, but the customization is very limited
Q: is it comparable with xbox series x
A: Hi and thanks for your question regarding one of our devices. I believe you are asking whether the keyboard is compatible with your console, not comparable. If that indeed is your question, the keyboard should work with the console just like with any other console, but isn't fully supported. It only receives full support under Windows systems running ROCCAT Swarm, but given that the console generally supports keyboards and the application you are running on it does too, the keyboard should work without any issues.
Q: Am I able to change out the keycaps for a different color? If so, with what type of caps?
A: Yes. Pretty much any standard mechanical keyboard keycaps. I got a generic white mechanical keyboard from China and was able to use the white keys from it on this keyboard. Pretty neat look with the black background and white keys. Got the white mechanical keyboard for some special order keycaps to use for my wife's computer.
