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

So I am an applications engineer that writes code but also works with hardware. Ive gone into the Linux world and I simply cannot come back. As such, Ive even setup my system to primarily only work with keystrokes. Because of this, I constantly use the keyboard to move around switch windows open up applications code in vim etc. Pros: Build appearance. Took a page right out of apples book. The technology here is just gorgeous. Volume key: The cheap plastic could use some work here but I like that they added it. Transparant switch covers? This is awesome, I wish more manufacturers made it so you could see the switch. I love technology and these guys did not disappoint. Cons: Titan switch. Roccats own design. For gamers, this might be nice, the short travel and the rgb with the aluminum plate might be perfect. I cant stand the mushy feel of keys and I want a tactile or clicky feel when I press a key. I have found a lot of people especially gamers love that linear switch. I would say for gamers, this is definitely a win. Keycaps: Part of what makes the keyboard look so cool is the design of the keycaps being so small and thin. Sadly, this also makes it a bit difficult to type on. Granted, spend a week typing on this and you will be just fine. I guess Im just not a fan of floating style keycaps. Great for occasional use, but not for a professional who needs to type quickly. Rocatt Software called Swarm.... Sadly, this is where the quality takes a big hit. Im not a professional software engineer, but I do have some coding experience. While the front of the program is nice and looks shall we say spiffy. Its riddled with bugs. I had to constantly restart the program just to get downloads to work. I took a look on reditt and found multiple people indicating that their servers were down. Granted it was around 1am when I was trying to download the patch from the server, but there was no indicator that the server was down. If they were doing maintenance they should send a response indicating they would be back the following day or in a few hours. Instead the next day I attempted it in the afternoon and it kind of worked and then failed. After restarting it a few times it downloaded. After that I was able to program the keyboard which was a bit fun. I had fun with the ripple effects and adjusting the rgb values for the LEDs. One of the reviews on youtube advised of a frustrating feature of the profile not being saved to the keyboard and only working when the software was running. I believe they have resolved this problem as after I shutdown my virtual machine the keyboard still had the same profile. So it looks like it does store the light configuration in non-volatile memory. Good! Overall, the aesthetic of the keyboard is great. It just looks amazing and its what sold me on it in the first place. I found the titan switches to not have that tactile feel like I was used to. Instead it was more of a linear switch with a bump in the middle. This might be perfect for some people. For me, If Im spending 150 or more on a keyboard, it needs to feel just right when I type. I didnt get that experience. However the keyboard itself is an eye catcher. So it depends on what someone wants. If they are looking for an rgb keyboard with software that allows them to customize it to their hearts content and have a conversation piece for their buddys when they come over. Then yes, this should appeal to the gamer and average person. For the professional who uses a mechanical keyboard for typing and writing software, there are better keyboards. However for the professionals who seem to like the magic keyboard from Apple, with no travel distance. Then you might really enjoy this keyboard, as it will have a lot more travel distance but still give you a nice feel but allow you to type much longer because you will not be bottoming out every time you type so your fingers wont be sore. Plus the yellow light with the white keycaps and aluminum base makes a nice professional look and doesnt cause too much noise.

Habia leido mucho de este teclado antes de comprarlo, pero de verdad sobrepaso mis expectativas, tambien llego 1 semana antes de lo previsto. Lo pedi desde Bogota, Colombia.

Pretty keyboard but a key cap already popped off and I have no idea when, how or where its gone

Best keyboard so far

If 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.

I recently bought a low profile keyboard and I couldnt stop making typos. I swapped it for this one and now I type like a pro. The color scheme and aesthetics are really cool and Ive paired it with a mouse from ROCCAT as well. Well built. I just started using it yesterday so if things change, Ill come back to update.

The 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.

Very nice design for a gaming keyboard. Its sturdy and comfortable to use.

D key is starting to not work at times very annoying other than that its fine

I bought about 30 keyboards recently -- from high end mechanical to gaming to cheap -- and I found this one to be the best of all the gaming ones. The typing experience feels and sounds great, and the switches also have quick response and are good for gaming. The board looks beautiful. The way the keycaps dont go all the way down really works. One downside is the lighting software only works on Windows and must be running while youre using the keyboard to use any except one of 4 preset modes (no luck if youre running macOS or Linux). The volume wheel and media keys are exactly what youd expect. Board build quality seems great. Feels totally solid. No deck flex. Looks great, and great to use. Also, its pretty quiet compared to most mechanical keyboards.
