FAQs

Can I change the key switches on the KB5?

The KB5 uses integrated Titan low-profile mechanical switches; they are not intended to be user-swappable like hot-swappable keyboards.

Does the keyboard support custom RGB lighting?

Yes, it features full per-key RGB lighting which can be customized using the Swarm II software.

What is the benefit of the 8K polling rate?

An 8K polling rate reports input to your PC 8,000 times per second, significantly reducing input delay compared to standard keyboards.

Is the wrist rest removable?

Yes, the keyboard includes a detachable palm rest for ergonomic comfort that can be removed for a smaller footprint.

Does the KB5 work with Mac?

The KB5 is optimized for PC gaming. While it may register basic typing on other operating systems, full feature functionality requires the Swarm II software, which is Windows-only.

Troubleshooting

Keyboard not detected by PC

Ensure the USB cable is firmly connected to a USB 3.0 or higher port and try a different port if necessary.

Touch display is unresponsive

Check the Swarm II software to ensure the display driver is updated and the display function is enabled in settings.

Macro keys not triggering

Verify that the macros are properly assigned to the specific keys within the Swarm II profile manager.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Connect the KB5 using the provided USB Type-A cable to your PC. For full functionality, download and install the Turtle Beach Swarm II software suite, which serves as the hub for macros, RGB effects, and firmware updates.

Care Instructions:

Keep the keyboard away from liquid spills.
Use compressed air to blow out dust from under the keycaps periodically.
Wipe the chassis and keycaps with a lightly dampened microfiber cloth to remove oils.
Ensure the detachable wrist rest is properly snapped into place to maintain ergonomic support during long sessions.
