Troubleshooting
Keyboard not recognized by the computer
Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the keyboard and a functioning USB port on your PC. Try a different USB port. If issues persist, restart your computer or try the keyboard on another machine.
Keys are not responding or registering incorrectly
Check for any debris lodged under the keys. Ensure N-Key Rollover and Anti-Ghosting are enabled (usually default). If using ROCCAT Swarm software, check for firmware updates and ensure no conflicting keybinds are set.
RGB lighting not working or displaying correctly
Verify that the keyboard is properly connected. Open ROCCAT Swarm software and ensure lighting is enabled and configured. Restart the software and/or your PC. Check for any firmware updates.
Palm rest not attaching securely
Ensure the connection points on both the palm rest and the keyboard are clean and free of debris. Align the palm rest carefully and apply gentle pressure until it clicks into place.
