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

insanely good

I went from an old and trusted G15 gaming keyboard to this Vulcan and I couldnt be more please. It took me about 10 minutes to get used to the overall layout, and feel. The lighting on it is very bright, and with the software you can customize the keyboard how ever you like. The keystrokes are solid and smooth. the keys are a bit smooth, but not bad, just different. I have tried a few other mechanical keyboards and even though this one has optical switches they feel just like most other mechanical switches. Overall It has impressed the hell out of me, and it feels so well made, I am sure it will last just as long as my G15.

I absolutely love this keyboard. If you want RGB its insanely bright and vivid! The keys feel amazing (on the tactial version) great travel and you feel. Keys inputs with no wondering if it registered. In terms of looks minus the RGB it is clean with a pretty aluminum top. A handful of adjustments can be made with the feet as well giving you plenty of options for comfort. The keyboard is small yes being tenkeyless, but the spaces between the keys are perfectly spaced. A must buy for sure. Very happy with this keyboard.

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.

Roccat has sent a replacement! Hopefully this one last for years as its a great keyboard when it worked. 3 months out of my 1st one. Other than that no complaints.

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.

Unless you are thinking about switching out your keyboard every time you want to do anything OTHER than gaming, dont buy this keyboard. The short travel cause too many accidental keystrokes. Actually even during gaming I find myself hitting E when I am trying to reload (R). Fine, perhaps that is just me and my typing habits arent conducive to a perfect user experience when it comes to this keyboard. Here is the other problem I ran into. One of my keys (;) randomly (or I just have never noticed) became sticky. No i have not spilled anything on it or had food on it nor did I touch the keyboard with dirty hands. I could not figure out how to clean it besides taking it all apart. Now this was where this keyboard really pissed me off. (or the a-hole of a design team, rather) They put a screw underneath the rubber feet. I suppose they were not planning for this keyboard to be user serviceable or cleanable. So, I opened the damn thing up and found some residue on the back of the PCB (not somewhere I could dirty). I think that was what contributed to the sticky key. By the way, I couldnt find any repair guide online but you CAN remove the clear cap from the back by pushing in the tabs from either side which will allow you to gain access to the spring, rail and the cylinder... Anyways, since this keyboard is my first and last mechanical keyboard, Im going to try to make it last (for the pretty penny Ive paid). Not sure if lubing up a keyboard is something that ALL mechanical keyboard users find themselves doing... Suppose I am learning. Quick Summery: The lighting - boring without having to install the program. Ive never found RGB to be an important part of the computing/gaming experience. Sure as F wasnt about to make it a fashion statement. This keyboard did NOT change my mind. Noise - Well, there are no quiet long-travel keyboards (not to my knowledge. I thought at least with optical switches Id abstain myself from the narcissistic clickery and spare the ears of whoever is on the other end of the voice call. Frankly my computer is also located in my acoustically treated studio. There is just no getting away from the plastic on plastic auditory fckery. Macro - Nah, not flexible enough. HEY rotary encodes are cool but not when they are limited to ONE purpose. Get creative dev team. Cool factor - Besides the occasional reconciliation brought on by my non-computer oriented friends wow you have one of those light up keyboards?! Ive found myself drowning in self loathing for having bought into this idiotic trend of self indulgence. No. This keyboard will not make you cooler. Not if you are honest with yourself. Ergonomic - Coming from a shitty HP low profile keyboard, Ive found myself needing to buy a wrist rest with how high this keyboard forces you to bend your wrist. Dont want carpal tunnel? Get a thinner keyboard. Never had numbness with my HP keyboard until I switched. I regret my purchase but obviously your mileage will very. May luck be in your favour.

I use this for gaming. The keys have a great feel. Love the color effects.

Really nice keyboard

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
