ROCCATPyro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with RGB Lightning UK Layout, black, ROC-12-623

Purched to replace my old Razer mechanical keyboard (which broken after many years of faithful service). I was attracted to try the Roccat Pyro as I had had a great experiance with their Kone gaming mouse, and design of this keyboard really appealed to me visually.Have to say that at the price point I am very impressed. The keyboard is great looking (imo) with a clean design and nice lighting effects which are muted enough not to be distracting. In terms of feel and use the Pyro feels well put together with solid plastics which have a decent quality feel to them, and the keys have a satisfying clicky feel with good responsiveness and arn't too loud (no complaints from people when I've been using the Pyro whilst in discord or game chats).In terms of comfort I found the size and spacing of the keyboard to be very nice and the clip-on wrist rest it has is a good addition that has made long usage much more comfortable than my old Razer.Finally, I've found the design very easy to keep clean, as the keys stand proud of the base with a lack of surrounding mounding, and thus this makes it very easy to get under them with a cotten bud or similar.All in all, after 5 months of very heavy use (I work from home and am only the PC 8+ hours each day) I cannot fault the Pyro so far and am very very impressed. Would definately recommend to anyone wanting a well put together mechanical keyboard as a good price point.

This keyboard is everything I hoped for, and much cheaper than similar alternatives. It has a quality look and feel it. The key lighting has a few nice looking options.... enough for my needs. The volume knob is very satisfying to use. The keys feel great for gaming... although I haven't used many mechanical keyboards so don't have much to compare against.I saw another reviewer complaining about the caps lock and Windows keys not working. This is actually a feature called game mode...it disables some of the keys that would cause you to accidentally interrupt gameplay. There is a shortcut to toggle this feature and a light that shows when it is enabled. Caps lock becomes the easy-shift key when in game mode.

Bought in sale so happy with bargain price. I like a wrist wrest + this one is ridged so doesn't slip :)

Support - Excellent, they have a website where you can download drivers ask questions etc. and they have a fast response time.Hardware - don't underestimate the pleasure of a mechanical keyboard, feels and sounds good.Software - RGB light fantastic with different patterns and a downloadable app manager.

Fully mechanical keys and brushed aluminium top plate give this entry level keyboard a more premium and sturdy feel without the price tag.The individually lit RGB keys can be set to many preset functions and displays or fully customised to your own preference using Roccat’s Swarm software.The game mode and shift functions really help expand this modest keyboards reach whilst not over complicating things.It would of been nice to see some dedicated media keys to go with the audio control knob but that is the only feature/function that jumps out as missing.And for all the other positives and the pleasant price, the alternative function media shortcuts work just fine.
