> 24 hourThe mechanical switches on this keyboard provide extremely satisfying tactile feedback, the ergonomics are pretty decent thanks to the little optional wrist pad that goes at the base, and the lighting is very customizable by virtue of the unobtrusive Swarm software that goes with it. Overall highly recommend, excellent for gaming, looks great.

> 24 hourLighting is really nice. LEDs are really bright and really look nice against the aluminum top plate and white keys. The AIMO software is absolutely horrendous, though. If you buy this keyboard, be prepared to be sitting in the software for at least an hour or two just trying to figure out how to set up any macros(RGB side of things is pretty easy, at least)

> 24 hourI really like this keyboard. It is light, colorful, and even calming with the way it fades into different colors. The keys are not too loud and the feeling when pressing each key is satisfying. I have had it for a couple weeks now and havent experienced any issues with the key labels peeling. I guess you just have to be careful with it, but even if it happened I dont really look down when I type so it wont be an issue. I must say it did take a bit of time getting used to the new layout since Im on a Mac and the keys are designed for Windows (e.g. instead of Command theres a Windows key and theyre in a different position). But once you re-learn where the keys are its a better keyboard than the one for Mac. Overall I am very satisfied with this purchase.

Euphoric!
> 24 hourSo you get the full picture, since 2015 I have been using an MK710 for all my computing needs. But the reality is, in that timeframe, keyboard tech has made leaps and bounds forward in terms of comfort, usability, and features. After months of research, I settled on the Roccat Vulcan 122. While I previously considered staying within the Logitech ecosystem, the reality is their keyboard dont have the best reputation when it comes to mechanical keys. So I decided to branch out. The Vulcan ended up meeting all of my needs both in terms of functionality and style. Ultimately, the feel of these keys was exactly what I felt was always missing with the MK710. While the MK710 was comfortable enough to type on, it wasnt satisfying to type on for extended periods. The build quality of the Roccat over other similarly priced keyboards is phenomenal. Getting an aluminum plate over simple plastic is almost unheard of in this price-range, particularly for a full-sized keyboard. The LED lighting is easy to adjust and, thanks to each key have its own LED, evenly lit across the board. Its also extremely easy to clean, which was a constant struggle with the MK710. I could go on about its comfort and overall design, but that is more subjective than anything else. For me, the low-profile nature of the keyboard is fantastic. I also consider the design to be attractive without being garish or too gamer-y feeling. Even without any lighting effects on, the design comes off as sleek and modern. Overall, I am extremely pleased with the keyboard. I dont know if it will match the longevity of the MK710 (which is still technically going strong), but given then build quality, I certainly hope it does.

> 24 hourRoccat swarm may stop working at any time for no reason. It stops working even when I go out to user select (Win+L). It has tons of macros buttons etc. but aby button for the lights control... I didnt find any manual in package. Without driver this keyboard lightining very bright on default scheme and I cant do nothing with it...

> 24 hourHonestly I love this keyboard so much. It has brown switches so the keys aren’t clicky sounding at all, but they still make a very nice soft click. I’ve had it for about a year and a half now. I wanted to write the review to show that the key caps can still be prone to the paint chipping off them. I attached a picture of my “C” key to show how a little piece of it came off. I contacted support by email about getting a new single C key cap and they just decided to send me an entire new keyboard instead. I didn’t need a whole new keyboard, but I guess that’s one way to solve the problem. Support was very quick and helpful though.

> 24 hourI bought this a while back at a Microcenter in the black version and it worked well but all of a sudden the W key began to fail. For both my job and my free time i use a keyboard frequently and i thought it may have been my constant use. i really liked this as an alternative to Razer so i bought this model again in white because i really liked it as soon as i plugged in the keyboard the 3 key would not work without me pressing down extremely hard. So stick with Razer do not buy this product.

> 24 hourHad this keyboard for a few months and I really like it, no peeling of key caps or any issues some people have gotten. Been using it daily and so far have had a great experience. Roccat has come a long fixing software issues, which I had at first, but after updating windows I have had zero issues with the software. Over all a great keyboard. Update bought on April 19, 2020 I have had 0 issues with software or key caps chipping, use it 6-8 hours daily. I have modified it for a removable usb c cable, so warranty is not available.

> 24 hourWe got this for our teen son for Christmas and bought two more after seeing how cool his is. Not only does it look amazing, but the click feels just right.
