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

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

TLDR; This IS the TKL keyboard youre looking for. Went to Best Buy to get a hands-on (pun intended) experience and was sold. Previously had the Keychron K3v2 and there was something about the horizontal spacing of the keys that caused me to make a lot of typing errors. Ive found I do not need a wrist rest but adding one would likely enhance the typing experience as well. The switches are just loud enough to give good feedback but not loud enough to be annoying. The Swarm software is a little slow but thats just a first-world problem, certainly not a make-or-break type of issue. It has a good weight to it and hasnt slipped around at all, definitely feels like a good quality product for the price.

Manage to pick this keyboard up when it was cheap! This keyboard feels solid, and the keycaps are not cheap plastic. My son builds his keyboard, and this is close to the type he is putting together. The key stroke is not as clicky as a Razer keyboard if you do not like loud clicking. Overall, a solid keyboard and I am glad I picked it up. Only disappointment is that I cannot install the driver to manage the color scheme as my work laptop is locked down. Still the default color scheme is good enough for daily use. Now, I just need to find a good Bluetooth mouse...

I dig

When I received it a bunch of the keys didn’t work at all lol. The delete key and a few function keys were completely non functional, maybe it was a fluke but it still ended up being a waste of time :( I ended up getting a Logitech keyboard with brown switches. Honestly I like it a lot more so I’m happy at the end of the day

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.

For starters, this is a gorgeous keyboard - from the RGB, key fonts and symbols, frame etc. However, the typing experience is horrible Understandably mechanical switches are clicky to various degrees depending on the switch, but this keyboard gives bottoming out a whole new meaning. Not to mention the plastic clack on the return of the Cherry reds. If you like the feel and sound of two pieces of plastic pounding together this keyboard fits the bill. And although the unconventional design layout for the keys looks great, I just could not get used to it and was making too many typing errors. On the other hand, I also have an Alienware 510K with the Cherry low profile reds and love it. I threw on a set of clear 40A O-rings to soften the already subtle bottom-out clack even more and the typing experience and sound is awesome.

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.

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.

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