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

Theres a lot to like about this TKL. For 100usd, its hard to beat. Color pops without glaring hotspots. The white board is incredible as a backdrop for the quality of the light produced. Its weight is surprising, but lets you know it wont break or bend. I might still get the full sized 122, but this TKL is really the prettiest keyboard Ive ever seen.

Hands down the best keyboard I have ever purchased. Typing is fluid and it works straight out of the box without any type of software. I am also using Manjaro Linux as my daily OS and it works great!!

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.

Pros - Wonderful, beautiful AIMO lighting that is by far the best RGB Ive ever used. - Fun to type on, nice feeling keycaps, lowish profile - Gorgeous to look at - Volume dial is nice, along with the mute button - Nice media function keys built in, although dedicated buttons wouldve been more welcome Cons - You need Roccat Swarm software running in the background to use the beautiful AIMO lighting system. This means I cant use it for my work laptop (cant download outside software) so Im stuck with generic lighting :( - Typing is loud (louder than blue clicky keys to some degree). Spacing and the switches makes my fingers hurt after long periods of time and I make WAY more typos on this than other keyboards (of which I have many, because I love them) - Volume is a turn dial and not something easier like a rolling dial like Logitech G915tkl. I prefer the rolling dial because you can use it with one finger. This Vulcan tkl requires two fingers at least and is heavy to use. Since I have a pull out keyboard draw, its hard to reach. Overall this is a beautiful keyboard to behold but I just cant find a good practical use for it as a main or long-typing driver.

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).

I tried this keyboard at Best Buy when I was there and fell in love with it. Talked myself into ordering it from here a few days later. Replacing my Razor 60%. I wanted to add the arrow keys and all that. It helps with some games and typing. I love how smooth the keys press and they’re not very loud.

The build quality is great, there is no wobble of the keys, and the typing experience is solid. The issues I have with it are the lack of compatibility of the Swarm software that is required to take advantage of many of this keyboards features. If you dont have a Windows computer you are limited to what functions are pre built into the keyboard and the 3 (yes 3) onboard lighting effects. For the record these effects are gradient on (some orange color gradient,) rainbow flow right, and rainbow flow left. For a keyboard that has awesome clear switch housings, the limited number of on board RGB lighting effects is unforgivable.

I had the regular tkl version of this keyboard and this is better. The lighting is cool. I like it

This keyboard feels great. Very responsive and feels well made. Couldn’t be happier with this purchase.

Honestly, I rather enjoy this keyboard. Ive owned an Huntsman mini and prefer this one over that. I feel as if its more responsive and the low profile is fantastic. Definitely recommend
