ROCCAT Vulcan 122 Mechanical PC Tactile Gaming Keyboard, Titan Switch, AIMO RGB Backlit Lighting Per Key, Detachable Palm/Wrist Rest, Anodized Aluminum Top Plate, Full Size, White/Silver

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.

Works well. The Marco keys wouldnt work but found that you just need to dl the driver from the website and not let windows do it automatically. Its beautiful. Works well. Im happy. Edit. Docked a star because the wasd keys started to chip from gaming alot. Easy fix was to just get stainless steel wasd keys since those are the main ones that I chopped off. All the others are just fine.

top product. good for gaming. nice design. fantastic

This is quite possibly the best keyboard that I have ever used. The key caps feel amazing and typing on it is a pleasure. I purchased the White Variant and the colors pop! The lighting is uniform under each keycap. The keyboard feels very high quality and I love the wrist rest. I decided to come fill out a review just so I could type some more on this. The Roccat Vulcan 122 AIMO is well worth the money. I will be purchasing more Roccat products now.

Best Keyboard Ive ever owned! love it. feels great to game with! and Its got a great response time as well as satisfaction from typing really fast too, feels great! super smooth feeling and very easy to clean! wife was jealous! haha.

This was a birthday gift for my son. He loves it. It works perfectly for his gaming and it is so bright and colorful!

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.
