I have reviewed numerous ROCCAT products, primarily gaming mice, but now I am reviewing the ROCCAT Pyro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard (ROC-12-622).
This mechanical keyboard is linear and uses quiet red switches with 2.0mm actuation and also features advanced anti-ghosting technology and features a brushed aluminum durable design.
ROCCAT also offers an easy shift [+] technology adding a secondary function to compatible keys. You have to hold down the designated modifier key to double the command power.
And this keyboard also features a volume knob and a detachable palm rest.
It’s important to note that if you have a previous ROCCAT product installed and had ROCCAT SWARM, you will be using the same ROCCAT SWARM to manage the hardware.
You can add sound feedback (I use the default no sound) but you can add click sound, typewriter sound, beam sound, sci-fi and and more.
You can tweak the character repeat (Repeate Delay, Repeat Rate, Cursor Blink Rate), you can assign the keys and you have various LED illumination settings from AIMO Intelligent Lighting, Snake, Fully Lit, Heartbeat 2.0, Breathing 2.0, Fade FX, Ripple and more.
For the most part, the ROCCAT Pyro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard (ROC-12-622) maintains the quality that ROCCAT is known for.
While ROCCAT has become one of the big names around gaming (and also one of the more expensive gaming brands), the ROCCAT Pyro brings together a gaming keyboard that also works perfectly for work, via utilizing a 104-key keyboard.
While ROCCAT’s VULCAN line is their top gaming line of keyboards (featuring Titan switches and are tactile), the Pyro is no slouch. It’s a very solid linear, red switch 104-key gaming keyboard.
Easy to type, silent but also responsive and I do like a lot!
While I’m not crazy about its price point, for those looking for a under $100 gaming keyboard from a reputable brand, should know the ROCCAT Pyro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard (ROC-12-622) is most deserving of five stars!
