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

I bought this year ago , it was the best keyboard i have ever had in my hole life between all expensive keyboards i have bought . After a year of using this keyboard daily , and cleaning it every one to two months , the keyboard’s button started to not work quickly , some times i had to press the button 2 to 3 times so the button can work , even the buttons that i dont use at all in games such as “L” for example , starting not to work from the first touch ? Imagine buying a keyboard with this price and it wont last a year .. i even found out that my firnd who bought e keyboard at the same time i did is having tre same problem we tried to clean the buttons we did everything but it will only work for one day and he problem will happens again … now all i have to do is to contact the support and i will see what will happen and update you guys and all those who know me in youtube and twitter and twitch too

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

So I bought this keyboard to replace the original Surface Studio Pro keyboard which as most Windows user knows comes with a very low profile and very quiet Scissors Switches. It has been years since I used a mechanical keyboard and I wanted it due to the fact that they usually last years longer than the Scissor switch boards, however, once you are custom to Scissor switches it takes some relearning and getting used to the mechanical switches again. I was prepared for that, I was nervous about the click sounds, I bought this because of the supposedly more quieter Titan switches from ROCCAT themselves, well, they are not that quiet and it annoyed my wife to the point that I had to return it or get a different apartment, I am now waiting for a different keyboard I am sorry to say. But not before I got to test this in a game and some playing around with the SWARM software. Another reviewer mentioned that the profile is not being saved to the keyboard and only working when the software was running and believed they resolved that problem. They did not, I spent an hour or so playing with the different configurations for illuminations and macro settings, there is a lot of stuff you can customize, you even have templates for different games. So, once you figured out your settings and shut off the computer it will save your configurations in the software which needs to be running in the background or it will use some default illumination settings on the brightest possible setting, another thing that made the Mrs go crazy, I noticed this because I tend to shut off unnecessary programs in the background to gain performance from the computer, and once I restarted the software SWARM the settings quickly set to your configurations. So, I did not like that part, for me it would be better if the keyboard remembered the settings so I can turn off background softwares that I am not actively using, but I can survive it. So, playing with this was fun, I had my macros and illuminations set, and the keys responded very well, the respond to very light touches, no need to press hard at all, this could be a problem for fast typists since that could create a double tap without you realizing it, the keys have a tactile sense but you can still feel the button press by a light press. To me that is good enough, I dont need a bump or a click feel to know that I am pressing a button. The click noise I was still getting used to, bu I do think they might be quieter than other keyboards I have tried in the past, but really? how much quiet can a mechanical switch button be, the difference is not big enough to choose this keyboard over any other mechanical keyboard, a click sound is still there no matter what and people will hear it around you, simple as that, reason to get this keyboard would be the endless configuration possibilities and low profile keys (switch covers -the key is low profile) that makes you see the switches somewhat, that comes with the minor issue of too much illumination from under the keys if you use a bright setting, it gets a bit disorienting and overwhelming for your eyes to focus on the illuminated letters, if you want to see the letters properly you need to lower the brightness a bit. Even then, you have issues seeing the FN row letters, they are not illuminated like the other letters on the same key for some reason, so you need to lean over to see what key you are pushing, especially in a low light setting. When it comes to the cord length, it is plenty enough, I sit approximately 2 feet away from the screen when I game or write, and I needed to wrap it up a bit for the excess cable, I dont understand people complaining about 4 cables being to short for a keyboard. The wrist-rest is not padded yet surprisingly comfortable and it is not a very raised rest, but it does help to reach the keys that is close to an inch high, the magnet is strong enough for you to move around the keyboard to your preferred placing without coming off in the process. For people worried about keys loosing their paint or wearing down so the button turns transparent and is all illuminated, that is a risk you will get from ANY illuminated keyboard eventually if you are a hard user of the keyboard, only way around that is finding a keyboard with resin keys or coat your own keys with resin or clear coat or ceramic coats with the cost of loosing any texture. No keys can withstand multiple hardcore presses from fingers for an eternity, when companies test their keys to hold 50 000 000 presses it is the mechanics they test, not so much how fast they will fade, a normal typist will probably never see keys fade the same way a hardcore gamer will who is pressing buttons like a maniac to stay alive in a FPS game or similar. Just something to think about, I see to too many reviewers complaining about keys fading and in some cases they might be fading faster than they probably should, but mostly it all depends on how you treat and use your keyboard as well. I have never experienced that problem ever, but I usually dont buy $20+ keyboards either and even during a game I tend to be fairly easy on the buttons. So, even though I like this keyboard and for reasons not being the keyboards fault, I had to return it, but from the little I got to use and test it I have to say I liked it and would have definitely kept this board. Some minor software improvements to wish for, but the keyboard felt very solid and looked clean and sleek for a mechanical keyboard. I will buy this again when I have my own computer room and I wont disturb my spouse by using it due to the click sound it does make, so the overall rating will be 4+ due to the software needed to remember the settings of the keyboard. I would love to see a Scissor Switch version of this keyboard, I would buy that right now if possible. Id say go ahead and try this board while they have the reduced price especially. This is also a German design, and anything German or European made is almost always some pretty solid stuff, and I speak from experience buying and importing a lot from Europe and Scandinavia.

This is a nice keyboard and I have NOT had issues with peeling paint on keys or elsewhere... and thats great. However, after three months of use it just stopped working yesterday. The keys no longer light-up and the device isnt recognized by Windows 10 anymore. I tried updating the firmware but no help. It appears to be a hardware fail. Will update with the response from Roccat - no matter how great (or not so great) a product is support is always a key factor in a purchase.

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

Lighting is really nice. LEDs are really bright and really look nice against the aluminum top plate and white keys. The AIMO software is absolutely horrendous, though. If you buy this keyboard, be prepared to be sitting in the software for at least an hour or two just trying to figure out how to set up any macros(RGB side of things is pretty easy, at least)

MOST EPIC KEYBOARD I HAVE EVER HELD THE THING IS SO NICE AND IT HAS BROWN SWITCHES SO ITS KINDA QUIET. COULDNT ASK FOR MORE BUT IT FACKERS ITS CHEAP HERE RAZER IS DOG WATER ROCCAT IS GOD IS EPIC FOR MINECRAFT NINJA BRIDGE BIG UPGRADE FROM MY REDDRAGON S101-3 AGIAN MOST EPIC KEYBOARD I HAVE EVER HEALD 1000%

I have Corsair K95 and Logitech G Pro as well. This is my third mechanical keyboard and my favorite. What a beauty this is. brown keys feel just right as well.

Perfect keyboard Very high quality

The mechanical switches on this keyboard provide extremely satisfying tactile feedback, the ergonomics are pretty decent thanks to the little optional wrist pad that goes at the base, and the lighting is very customizable by virtue of the unobtrusive Swarm software that goes with it. Overall highly recommend, excellent for gaming, looks great.
