Euphoric!
22-11-2024So 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.

> 3 dayIf you ever accidently graze adjacent keys when typing, this is the wrong keyboard for you. This keyboard requires perfect typing to have any efficiency. If you bang only the key you want every time, this keyboard is great. If you miss at all, you will spend an incredible amount of time correcting false keystrokes. I am 100+ words/min and I find this keyboard extremely frustrating to use. I would never buy this again. Far too much time wasted correcting false keystrokes. And I will have to purchase a different keyboard. 1 star.

> 3 dayKeys peel. Read all the poor reviews. Seriously. Update: contacted Roccat. They told me it was a known issue and has been fixed in newer models. Shipped me a new keyboard in a week. Hope these new keys hold out better.

> 3 dayKeyboard is smooth as butter and the look is just plain sexy! Changed from a Razer Huntsman elite and it was worth it. Some have complained of paint peeling from the keys. Ive had mine for several months and no issues at all. Maybe use some hand moisturizer or something? This is the smoothest, brightest keyboard Ive owned. Absolutely love it. I even switched my Razer mouse to the Roccat Kone Aimo and was happy with that change also. The RGB matches perfectly!

Greater than one weekThis Keyboard feels great and looks great! The keys are the right amount of clicky and the board has a good quality feel to it. Even turning the volume knob feels good. My only complaint is that when you lock your computer the keyboard returns to a default RGB profile which can be very bright and intense and I dont love that my keyboard is putting on a light show while im away from it. Also the Roccat swam software crashes a lot, but it does do what you need it to.

> 3 dayMy wife really loves this keyboard. I have to admit the lighting on this thing is quite impressive. My ONLY gripe is the swarm software that it and most Roccat peripherals use. (I have one of their mice). Software has been hit or miss for a while. Sometimes it does what you want.... sometimes it does what it wants. I will say they have patched it several times since I have started using it and it is slowly getting better. Prices are a little high but what the wife wants...she gets. It has so far been a good keyboard for her. I would definitely recommend especially if you find it on sale.
