ROCCAT Vulcan 122 Mechanical PC Tactile Gaming Keyboard, Titan Switch, AIMO RGB Backlit Lighting Per Key, Detachable Palm/Wrist Rest, Anodized Aluminum Top Plate, Full Size, White/Silver

Best keyboard so far

The keys feel great to type on and I enjoy the sound them make

Keyboard is great and the typing experience feels amazing, roccat is an industry beast!

Ok honestly, this would have been a five star review a few days ago. This keyboard has pretty much no downsides, unless youre into plushier wrist rests, the RGB effects are top notch and the typing experience is sublime. However, a few days ago, I noticed the the keys already had paint chipping off, revealing the translucent plastic beneath it. Ive only owned this for a month or two, so Im really disappointed that its already happening. Other than that, Id highly recommend the Vulcan 122 Aimo.

My 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.

This keyboard feels great. Those Titan switches are the real highlight here you can really tell that travel distance is shorter than normal. My favorite keyboard Ive ever owned colors are phenomenal. Also the little wrist rest is a nice extra touch. Worth the price!

i was originally worried because i’ve never purchased this brand before and these products are decently new, so there’s not many reviews. however, i absolutely love this keyboard for my fps games and even typing out my college papers. the flat keys are different at first but i really grew to love them. BEST keyboard i’ve ever had by far.

So the board itself is pretty good despite there being a considerable amount of space between each key, which is a minor and subjective critcism, what isnt either minor nor subjective is the fact that the entire legend of the keyboard for each key, is some kind of sprayed on material coating. These are not quallity keycaps and as noted by MANY reviews, the spray on legend simply crumbles off, mine within less than two weeks. Frankly this is unacceptable at this type of price, and basically negates any positive this board has going for it, which is a shame because aside form this massive oversight, this is such a great looking and distictive board. Item is in the return process. Basically DO NOT BUY this board, admire from afar, its not a very qualitly-focused item, it seems to be designed enitrely around the show factor. Im super disappointed.

I needed a new keyboard and I had never heard of this brand. Did a lot of second guessing before I finally purchased but overall I’m extremely happy. Kind of want another one for the office.

Update after about 8mo (4/27/21): So a recent swarm version finally works without crashing (no need for the hub). Ive disabled auto updates and Ill test updates on a random computer before installing new versions from now on. It gets 5* from me. My keycaps are also lasting perfectly fine. I use it every day and wipe it clean with dilute isopropyl to clean it once in a while and nothing is peeling or rubbing off so people either scrape their keys when they type or theres a QC issue that doesnt apply to every model. Because of my great customer support experience with them, if people are on the fence about buying one, Id still say go for it because theyll respond to getting it fixed/replaced. Update after about 6mo: So long story short, I kept the keyboard because the keys are great and I didnt care about the lighting. I also found out if I have the kb and mouse plugged into a powered usb hub and leave the hub on, it saves the profiles and prevents the crashes. The support through swarm was nonexistent but when I contacted Roccat directly they responded next day and I received a replacement for the mouse within a week. So Ive updated from 1 to 3 *s. Hardware wise, this keyboard is a 5, software still needs a bit of cleanup it has gotten better, especially with the powered hub. Original: Ive preferred membrane keyboards but the Roccat just looks amazing so I had to try it. I really like the keycaps as theyre very flat. The lighting is bright and extremely customizable. Its relatively quiet with a tactile bump. Some people complain of the keys rubbing off but mine seem to be fine, and I wipe it off with a paper towel and dilute IPA like every other week. The only problem I have with the keyboard is with the Roccat Swarm software. Ive tested the roccat kone and this keyboard on two of my computers and my friends computer and Swarm freezes (which leads to the devices also freezing) for a good minute every half hour or so on all three. The kb works perfectly fine without swarm so Ive uninstalled it, so no lighting control which is sad. I reinstall it every few weeks because they do update it often but its still buggy, hopefully they get it figured out. Update 1: I have now tried with 4 different computers, the keyboard works fine if you dont launch swarm. No matter what I try: old versions, manual update to latest, all 20 usb ports between 2 laptops and 2 desktops. Nothing can keep swarm from crashing. Which means random crashes or disable swarm and have 0 light control whatsoever, cant even turn it off. Best part of all, the help button on swarm crashes it! Do not buy anything that requires swarm.
