I have this keyboard. I bought it for 39.99 on sale in december of 2022. I had a 5 dollar gift certificate that made the deal sweeter at best buy. Rtings gave it a 8.4 out of 10. https://www.rtings.com/keyboard/r...occat/pyro

Amazing all around for my work from home setup and gaming with my steam deck in dock mode. I recommend this keyboard. The volume dial is so convenient for teams calls. The software is easy to reprogram the LEDs. Swarm i believe is the program. Leds are bright. They dim after 15 minutes or so of no use. I use the keyboard around 6 to 8 hours a day Monday through Friday. LEDs are going strong. The typing is flawless, a bit loud as it is not a mushy membrane. Overall i recommend and for 40 bucks you have a solid keyboard. Roccat is a solid brand!

This deal seems to be too good to be true. I'm tempted to pull the trigger, but I'm curious to know how other owners' experience have been using this keyboard.
I already have many keyboards brand new unopened sitting there collecting dust but I still bought this. Seems to be a great deal.

If the switches were hot-swappable I would buy this immediately. This is a good deal otherwise. I got the EVGA Z15 last time, and my only complaint is the branding on the keyboard.
I got a EVGA mech KB a year ago and it's been rock solid! Replaced my Corsair K90. This looks like a great deal.

Looks good. Feels good. Died in a week.
Verified Purchase
Posted 1 month ago. Owned for 3 months when reviewed.
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Started out fine, looks like it's going to end up in the dumpster. Lasted one week before the period key stopped working. Was past Best Buy's 15 day return window. Worse, I bought a matching mouse so am kind of stuck with this brand - which I no longer trust - to keep from having to run multiple pieces of RGB control software.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Turtle Beach is in the process of rebranding these to Turtle Beach, so most of the Roccat branded stuff is being clearanced out. That is exactly why these are so cheap. I just got a nice mouse for $20 lol. Picking up this keyboard too.

There are only eight 1-star reviews out of 421 total. I think it will be ok.

Got mine today too.
It's definitely flimsy - full of plastic feeling. Likely I will return it.
I have Keychron, Logitech and Corsair mechanic keyboards, which are pretty sturdy.

I don't have much experience with mechanical keyboards, but I needed a keyboard since my G915 broke, AND my huntsman elite (clicky) was way too loud for when my baby naps.

Got this thing and it's a non-clicky on the switch, and it's a little clacky.
I went and got some pudding caps and it looks pretty nice (the new caps are slightly lower and feels a little quieter). I'm really enjoying the keyboard!

I went and also bought some o-rings and see if I can minimize the clacky'ness.
I've seen people pour silicone in these keyboards to further dampen the noise but I'm not yet brave enough for it.

For $38 after tax, I think it's a fun keyboard, just set your expectation.s

Got mine, I love it so far. I wish I could get the led light to work with Linux though. I tried "eruption" but it doesn't seem to work with Ubuntu 24.04 at this moment.
