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

My son purchase this keyboard and was super excited with it for about the first 5 minutes. Then he realized that it wasnt keeping up with his keystrokes. He plays Fortnite and edits exceptionally fast. After playing for a few minutes he realized that the keyboard wasnt recognizing 2nd or sometimes even 3rd consecutive keystrokes of the same key. We sent it back hoping that it was just a faulty board but the new keyboard did the same thing. Searching online shows that a different keyboard made by the same company seems to have the same issue so we are left to assume the optical switches are the problem.

The sound of this keyboard is the best! Super comfortable for gaming and the speed of the keys also is great for gaming. This keyboard is by far the best I have ever had.

I made my own wrist rest for it and its much better now.

Concerning the ROCCAT Vulcan TKL Pro: I am downgrading my review from 5 stars to 2. Why? In trying setup a default illumination scheme, I found this paragraph: Without Swarm you are still able to use your devices, but you are missing out on features such as illumination controls, re-assigning keys and buttons, customizing sensitivities or creating macros and profiles. A custom illumination (for say WASD etc. keys) can be setup only with Swarm running. Thats fine. If Swarm is killed/ended, the keyboard illumination (at least) persists. Thats good. But after power-cycling the keyboard, it is again necessary to run Swarm to reinstate the setup. Thats not OK. So its not possible setup the keyboard on Windows and then move the keyboard over to a Mac or Linux system to at least get a preferred illumination because Swarm doesnt runs on the latter systems and the illumination doesnt survive a power-cycle. This also means you cant use it on a Steam Deck (which is Linux). Thumbs down. I like the keyboard, but I dont really like the default animations nor the solid green. I can somewhat understand requiring Swarm to have keystroke programmable macros, but custom illumination should not require Swarm. I want a keyboard with persistent and default illuminations that will work on any computer; not having this is a deal breaker for me. There are other decent keyboards that do what this one does. Roccat support is terrible. In trying to contact Roccat, I notice that the support.roccat.con website is plagued with SSL certificate problems. So you have to either allow invalid SSL certificates or use lame browsers to view the support page.

This keyboard is amazing!!!

I dig

Coolest keyboard ever

Not a fan, there is a large gap between the keys which usually results in mis hits. If they used better keycaps this would be a 4 or 5 star review. But for $150 it is not worth it at all. Not even doubleshot keycaps.

I used to be Corsair everything, the roccat keyboard is so much better. It’s quiet and comfortable to use.

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.
