> 3 dayI tried this keyboard for about 3 weeks. I thought Id get used to it but I never did. It was really hard to get used to the strange spacing, or the keys themselves. Either way, a lot of typos and not very comfortable. It looks nice and the material is good quality, but for actual work I dont recommend this.

> 3 dayThe 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.

> 3 dayIve had plenty of keyboards before of all kinds including with laptops included. This keyboard definitely has a custom click to it but it is a nice click for sure! I do like how each key sounds, enter, backspace are especially nice. Not sure what the above reviewers are talking about with some kind of ringing to the click, I hear none of that. That would be way too particular for me though so its not even a thing. Im a software engineer so I do type quite fast. This is the first time Ive tried a TKL board for home use but I dont use the other pad that often so well try it because the compact size is welcome! I also enjoy the lighting schemes especially the main intelligent typing one that lights the keys up as you type with more emphasis on ones held longer or pushed more while change colors throughout. Its kinda like a heat map almost. Beautiful keyboard for sure and I can tell that the quickness is pretty snappy. Not sure how to gauge the value/money ratio but I didnt buy this for value or money, I bought this for premium and coolness first then functionality for the money second.

> 3 dayI like everything about this keyboard. The keys have a soft touch finish, similar to luxury car finish interior. It looks amazing. The actuation is a bit short, but I have adapted to it. The caps have a nice curve and each key can be felt separate from the other. Got this on Amazon used for $100, one of the best investments besides for the $20 monitor stand.

> 3 dayAlthough it looks and sounds nice, I have a really hard time typing on it. I cant even manage to get through a Google keyword search without hitting a new that I didnt mean to. I think its the distance between the keys. The keyboard that I was using before had keys right up against each other, these have a pretty large gap between them, just under a quarter inch. Nonetheless this is my personal home computer keyboard, so I dont do a lot of typing. Hopefully Ill get used to it eventually.

> 3 dayLove everything about this keyboard. How solid it is....how easily and quickly the keys respond. All the extra clicky bits and even the removable USB-C LED bits are vibrant. Could use more theme options in the Roccat software fopr the RGB. And the key spacing does take some getting used to.......ESPECIALLY if your coming from Membrane keyboard like I am (Microsoft Arc wireless) For those 2 things.....Ill give it 4 stars. But only because 4 1/2 was not an option

Greater than one weekThe Roccat Vulcan TKL Pro is a decent keyboard, but at its price point, there are many better options. First of note, the keyboard uses the cheaper ABS styled plastic for its keys - finger oils, letters rubbing off, etc. are expected (potentially with cracking of paint). I felt this was a bad sign considering the overall cost of the unit. From there, looking at the chassis, its a plastic chassis thats reinforced with metal. The desk I am on is not straight at the moment and I noticed visible flex on the board, which was disappointing when compared to my other costlier boards. The RGB was very disappointing. Creating basic patterns (such as a static background, with a ripple effect upon typing) seemed impossible? I wasnt able to do that. I work in IT so that should tell you something. Effectively the only option you look at with the RGB for cool colors is AIMO, which who knows how it works, I doubt its any type of actual reactive AI though. Overall this isnt a BAD keyboard, its a bad keyboard for the price. If it were $70-80 I would consider keeping it; at the price point its going for, theres no way I can add this to my collection.
