    I simply love this keyboard. I though it being white would make dirt and dust more noticeable but that is totally not the case. Ive noticed some people complaining about the keycap paint scrapping off after a few months of use and I was very concerned about it, but Ive been using it on a daily basis for 8h+ and the keycaps are still intact after 5 months. It has many brightness and color adjustments to personalize it. Very responsive keypress and soft touch. I was using a Corsair K95 Plat and I would not go back to it after trying this keyboard (that is even cheaper). Wrist rest is attacked magnetically which is good if you like switching between having it on and off (I dont). Perfect if youre going for a white setup, but also if youre not.

    Great unboxing experience, Wrist rest is magnetic and the colors are very bright. To change colors you need to visit their website and download the driver/application for it. but great keyboard all around

    I needed a new keyboard and I had never heard of this brand. Did a lot of second guessing before I finally purchased but overall I’m extremely happy. Kind of want another one for the office.

    So you get the full picture, since 2015 I have been using an MK710 for all my computing needs. But the reality is, in that timeframe, keyboard tech has made leaps and bounds forward in terms of comfort, usability, and features. After months of research, I settled on the Roccat Vulcan 122. While I previously considered staying within the Logitech ecosystem, the reality is their keyboard dont have the best reputation when it comes to mechanical keys. So I decided to branch out. The Vulcan ended up meeting all of my needs both in terms of functionality and style. Ultimately, the feel of these keys was exactly what I felt was always missing with the MK710. While the MK710 was comfortable enough to type on, it wasnt satisfying to type on for extended periods. The build quality of the Roccat over other similarly priced keyboards is phenomenal. Getting an aluminum plate over simple plastic is almost unheard of in this price-range, particularly for a full-sized keyboard. The LED lighting is easy to adjust and, thanks to each key have its own LED, evenly lit across the board. Its also extremely easy to clean, which was a constant struggle with the MK710. I could go on about its comfort and overall design, but that is more subjective than anything else. For me, the low-profile nature of the keyboard is fantastic. I also consider the design to be attractive without being garish or too gamer-y feeling. Even without any lighting effects on, the design comes off as sleek and modern. Overall, I am extremely pleased with the keyboard. I dont know if it will match the longevity of the MK710 (which is still technically going strong), but given then build quality, I certainly hope it does.

    This Keyboard feels great and looks great! The keys are the right amount of clicky and the board has a good quality feel to it. Even turning the volume knob feels good. My only complaint is that when you lock your computer the keyboard returns to a default RGB profile which can be very bright and intense and I dont love that my keyboard is putting on a light show while im away from it. Also the Roccat swam software crashes a lot, but it does do what you need it to.

    The reviews are true. Read them very closely. The paint on the keycaps will eventually peel and as far as I know there is no way of getting replacements. I love the design of the keyboard and the Titan switches feel buttery smooth but just the bad design of the keycaps was enough to drop the rating on this one. You can replace the keycaps with a generic pbt keycap but that would ruin the look of the board. Sorry Roccat but this one was a flop

    So I am an applications engineer that writes code but also works with hardware. Ive gone into the Linux world and I simply cannot come back. As such, Ive even setup my system to primarily only work with keystrokes. Because of this, I constantly use the keyboard to move around switch windows open up applications code in vim etc. Pros: Build appearance. Took a page right out of apples book. The technology here is just gorgeous. Volume key: The cheap plastic could use some work here but I like that they added it. Transparant switch covers? This is awesome, I wish more manufacturers made it so you could see the switch. I love technology and these guys did not disappoint. Cons: Titan switch. Roccats own design. For gamers, this might be nice, the short travel and the rgb with the aluminum plate might be perfect. I cant stand the mushy feel of keys and I want a tactile or clicky feel when I press a key. I have found a lot of people especially gamers love that linear switch. I would say for gamers, this is definitely a win. Keycaps: Part of what makes the keyboard look so cool is the design of the keycaps being so small and thin. Sadly, this also makes it a bit difficult to type on. Granted, spend a week typing on this and you will be just fine. I guess Im just not a fan of floating style keycaps. Great for occasional use, but not for a professional who needs to type quickly. Rocatt Software called Swarm.... Sadly, this is where the quality takes a big hit. Im not a professional software engineer, but I do have some coding experience. While the front of the program is nice and looks shall we say spiffy. Its riddled with bugs. I had to constantly restart the program just to get downloads to work. I took a look on reditt and found multiple people indicating that their servers were down. Granted it was around 1am when I was trying to download the patch from the server, but there was no indicator that the server was down. If they were doing maintenance they should send a response indicating they would be back the following day or in a few hours. Instead the next day I attempted it in the afternoon and it kind of worked and then failed. After restarting it a few times it downloaded. After that I was able to program the keyboard which was a bit fun. I had fun with the ripple effects and adjusting the rgb values for the LEDs. One of the reviews on youtube advised of a frustrating feature of the profile not being saved to the keyboard and only working when the software was running. I believe they have resolved this problem as after I shutdown my virtual machine the keyboard still had the same profile. So it looks like it does store the light configuration in non-volatile memory. Good! Overall, the aesthetic of the keyboard is great. It just looks amazing and its what sold me on it in the first place. I found the titan switches to not have that tactile feel like I was used to. Instead it was more of a linear switch with a bump in the middle. This might be perfect for some people. For me, If Im spending 150 or more on a keyboard, it needs to feel just right when I type. I didnt get that experience. However the keyboard itself is an eye catcher. So it depends on what someone wants. If they are looking for an rgb keyboard with software that allows them to customize it to their hearts content and have a conversation piece for their buddys when they come over. Then yes, this should appeal to the gamer and average person. For the professional who uses a mechanical keyboard for typing and writing software, there are better keyboards. However for the professionals who seem to like the magic keyboard from Apple, with no travel distance. Then you might really enjoy this keyboard, as it will have a lot more travel distance but still give you a nice feel but allow you to type much longer because you will not be bottoming out every time you type so your fingers wont be sore. Plus the yellow light with the white keycaps and aluminum base makes a nice professional look and doesnt cause too much noise.

    I bought this a while back at a Microcenter in the black version and it worked well but all of a sudden the W key began to fail. For both my job and my free time i use a keyboard frequently and i thought it may have been my constant use. i really liked this as an alternative to Razer so i bought this model again in white because i really liked it as soon as i plugged in the keyboard the 3 key would not work without me pressing down extremely hard. So stick with Razer do not buy this product.
