The Roccat Pyro is a mechanical keyboard gaming which does not blow up the bill. Finishes, ergonomics, typing quality, we tell you everything about the newcomer from the German manufacturer. Will he set fire to the powder?
With the Pyro, Roccat keeps its promise to offer a keyboard gaming mechanics at a relatively light price, but it’s all about compromise. We find the characteristics and the speed of typing inherent to these switches, in addition to an extensive customization of the backlighting. To lower the bill, the manufacturer has nevertheless made concessions, in terms of construction quality in particular, and by choosing fairly classic red switches. Also note that this keyboard does not offer as many features as higher-end models (connectors, additional keys, different switches, etc.).
Strong points
- Advanced backlighting and key by key.
- Detachable palm rests.
- Customizing Macros with Easy-Shift[+].
Weak points
- Very average build quality.
- Palm rests that may get messy.
- No additional connection.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
