ROCCAT Vulcan TKL Pro Tenkeyless Linear Optical Titan Switch PC Gaming Keyboard with Per-key AIMO RGB Lighting, Anodized Aluminum Top Plate, and Detachable USB-C Cable, Black

This keyboard is amazing! The only drawback: its a bit loud compared to others. But ignoring that, its practically perfect. The USB cable is braided, the RBG is beautiful, the keyboard is mega responsive with no misclicking, it feels great, the volume control knob is nice, and the keys feel firm and stabilized.

I have lots of mechanical keyboards and was interested in this one because of the optical switches. I was surprised that the keyboard had such a nice feel since it had ABS keycaps. I do really like the minimal keycap design in general, and I imagine it would be even better with PBS. Some of the lighting partially died within the first couple of weeks, so there might be some manufacturing issues. The lighting requires the software to be running, so unfortunately you cant save lighting setting to the keyboard (this is sadly true of even the most expensive mechanical RGB keyboards though so I wont fault them for it).

Its been working fine but arrived with bottom right corner of the top board lifted up as if its been damaged.

I had a Turtle Beach Headphone set from Walmart and it was decent but with this Roccat name they have really upped their game. I have now added the TKL keyboard and an AIMO mouse along with the ELO 7.1 wireless headset. Not one complaint

I dig

Really enjoyed this keyboard.

I decided to get a TKL keyboard for my setup since i already own a G915 tactical and a NK65 V2 aluminum. I wanted to get another mechanical so I decided to pre-order a tkl pro. This keyboard uses their titan optical key switches but they remind me of linear red switches. I have never used such a loud linear switch before. Part of the blame is the key travel seems crazy long but i also think the short keycaps cause my expectations to be similar to the low-profile g915 which it is not! I was able to mitigate the issue by using o-rings/dampeners on the keycaps giving me a nice shorter stroke and less noise if I bottom out, but this did not fix the thunk when the cap moves back upwards so it is still loud and i hope break-in fixes this somewhat. The keycaps are oil magnets btw and to me they feel flimsy, slippery, and cheap (abs). The keycap is relatively small and cuts out part of the normal bottom, but I am not sure if I like this design as they make pudding keycaps to give more lighting if that is what they are trying to do. The switches are mounted directly onto the keyboards top panel which is nice for cleaning. The media controls are also the f9-f12 keys, but you can semi-permanently switch them with fn+del (turns the del key white to show it is switched/active). There is also a dedicated mute button and volume control both of which I do not believe you can re-map. Overall Im not sure why the vulcan tkl pro is so expensive. I wish it came with a magnetic wrist rest for the price like their full-size version, but my wood glorious wrist rest (TKL size) fits perfect. I am not sure if i would purchase a roccat product again as I dont believe there is much value for the money and that is saying a lot as a g915 owner. Edit: i decided to throw on some pbs doubleshot alpherior keys i had laying around, and the difference is huge! no more slippery buttons! Id highly suggest getting new keycaps, all though i kept the original F9-F12 since they are also the media buttons and i also kept INS, HOME, PG-UP, PG-DOWN, DEL, END and the arrow keys and the ctrl key.

Lets address the negatives. Yes, the keys can ping upon press. I dont care. Most of my mechanical keyboards make a lot of noise. I dont need silence, nor do I search for it. Go buy a Brown Cherry MX keyboard and find a product that was made for you if you dont like noisy switches. For the rest of us, these Titan Opticals are fast and responsive. The rebound and response are excellent, and it feels good to type and game on. For gamers, the W keycap has a little bump like your F and J keys for re-centering without looking. Actuation happens before you bottom out like most switches and the linear is great without any feedback until you bottom out. If you need feedback on actuation, Titan Optical is not for you. Choose the Titan Tactile Mechanical or similar. For the person that complained for the lack of dedicated media keys doesnt read the instructions. You can set F9-F12 dedicated to media keys as I do not use those keys on a regular basis (FN+DEL locks out only F9-F12 to media until you set it back). With the mute and volume knob its great for streaming music or Youtube. Game mode (FN+PGDOWN) locks out windows keys like most keyboards. Overall super happy with it. The only downside (and I didnt take off a star) is the FN+END which turn FN into another windows key works, but you cant revert back without unplugging the keyboard. Considering my K65 Corsair doesnt even give me that option on the hardware side, I cant fault this bug. The Titan Optical Switches are compatible with Cherry MX keycaps fyi as Ive swapped some of my Corsair keycaps just to see, but honestly the keycaps are great and I have no plans to swap them. One last note, the RGB lighting is north not south which I feel is pretty standard. Spacebar is 6.25u not 6.5u like most keyboards.

Great keyboard I was using a Logitech one for a while and replaced it with this one size is great and switches feels nice. Rgb is vibrant and not to overwhelming. Overall great product.

This is easily the best keyboard I have ever used in my life. The switches are fast, responsive, and give good haptic feedback when pressed. The sturdy aluminum base and low profile give it a very balanced feel. I also like how the keys are not recessed into the board, so its easy to clean between the keys. I write probably 10,000-15,000 words per week and everything feels super sturdy still. Its also small enough to put in your backpack if you need a board on the go. I havent tried too much gaming with it yet but what I have done feels great. If you want to use the LEDs to their full extend, make sure to download Roccats Swarm software so you can make custom color profiles and patterns. I personally really like the lighting options but you can turn all that stuff off if you dont want to use it Overall, its an excellent keyboard. I wish there were a wireless version but oh well.
