Q: QuestionI have a nickel allergy. Will this trigger a breakout?(3 answers)
A: AnswerHi 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.Answered by ROCCAT Support
Q: QuestionIs this compatible with a MAC computer? Thank you in advance!(4 answers)
A: AnswerThanks 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.Answered by Turtle Beach Support
Q: QuestionAre you able to turn the RGB off without using software?(4 answers)
A: AnswerThe ROCCAT Swarm software suite would be required to make changes to the RGB.Answered by Turtle Beach Support
- A: AnswerHi 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.
Answered by ROCCAT Support
Q: QuestionAre the keys considered "analog" or simple on/off. Prefer the latter, myself.(3 answers)
A: AnswerThe 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.Answered by ROCCAT Support
Q: QuestionIs this a quiet keyboard?(4 answers)
A: AnswerThis keyboard is an aluminum top keyboard so it is durable. This also means that the keyboard tops are hard and my experience of testing this, no it is not quiet. It is sort of click clackity. (It could be annoying depending on if you like soft or loud keyboards)Answered by Supadupajin
Q: QuestionWill this keyboard work with a ps5 for games like Fortnite?(2 answers)
A: AnswerWhile the Pyro can be connected to and used with consoles such as the PS4, the console itself or the respective game needs to support keyboard's as well for the keyboard to work. Please note that the keyboard only receives full support under Windows systems as the software, and therefore the option for configuration, isn't available for other platforms. If you have any other questions, please reach out directly to our dedicated Support Team so they can assist. They’re always happy to help and can be reached using the contact form on the official ROCCAT support page!Answered by Turtle Beach Support
Q: Questionis it compatible w/ windows 11?(3 answers)
A: AnswerYes, this keyboard will work on a Windows 7, 8, 9, 10, or 11. Other than that no you can not use this keyboard. (Try searching it up)Answered by Supadupajin
