Q: QuestionI have a nickel allergy. Will this trigger a breakout?(4 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: QuestionIs this a quiet keyboard?(6 answers)
A: AnswerIt'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.Answered by Skeetre
- 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: QuestionAm I able to change out the keycaps for a different color? If so, with what type of caps?(4 answers)
A: AnswerYes. 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.Answered by Skeetre
Q: QuestionWill this keyboard work with a ps5 for games like Fortnite?(6 answers)
A: AnswerYes it will. There is a USB cable on the PS5 and it is compatible with any PS5 games. (Including Fortnite) Hope that helps! ;-)Answered by Anonymous
Q: Questionis it compatible w/ windows 11?(5 answers)
A: AnswerYes. Is there a keyboard that isn't?Answered by Skeetre

Satisfying and great rgb
For my first keyboard am glad i went with this one. customization is super easy and keys give off a satisfying click. Rgb lights are really nice and if you have the same brand name accessories with the app youre able to easily sync them together making your set up look amazing.
