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

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!

Lighting 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)

So, I’m not a gamer. I work in an office for 55-60 hours per week for an online retailer as a tech agent. That entire time, I’m typing; online communication, chats, emails, program commands, etc. Before this, I used a Razer Cynosa Chroma. Used it for a year until I couldn’t read the keys from such heavy use. I picked this up as I wanted to switch to mechanical. I now had 4 months of long, hard time on the Vulcan and I love this keyboard. After going mechanical, you’ll never go back. So much better to type on and the brown switches are not too loud and are super clicky. The keys are low-profile and responsive, which improves my typing speed and reduces strain in your wrists (I experienced this with taller keyboards). They are also mappable, so I can assign shortcuts for all my programs! The RGB is very grown-up looking (not like Razer’s over the top lighting which belongs in a 14-year-olds bedroom) and I love the AIMO lighting. Also, Roccat Swarm is simple and really easy to use. After putting this thing through the ringer for 12 hour shifts day in and out, it performs fantastic. Plenty of people tell me they love my keyboard too as it looks awesome! After almost 1000 hours spent typing on this keyboard, all I can say is just buy it.

My 12 year old son researched just about every keyboard and picked this one. He loves it. Great response from the keys and he loves the different light-up settings for the keys.

I love the looks and feel of the keyboard. This is the Tactile-brown(no clicky) switch model. My only dislike is the key-switches are a bit on the light side. I still have not been able to find the perfect keyboard, I certainely hope ROCCAT makes another attempt, maybe a Low-Profile setup without sacrificing the cool lighting under and around the short keycaps. I find myself typing faster on the low-pro Havit.

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.

This is hands down the most beautiful keyboard Ive ever owned. Ive recently began building a new custom pc and wanted to have a proper keyboard to match, and I couldnt be happier with the Vulcan. The base is thin and sleek, the raised mechanical keys top quality, and the RGB is incredibly vivid. If youre looking for a top-tier keyboard with aesthetics to match the quality, this is the keyboard you want.

Nice keyboard, lights are bright and lots of cool options for light movement

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.

This keyboard has changed my switch preference from linear to tactile. I use it for both gaming and working and I was worried about both the tactile switches, the key distancing, and the low profile key caps. Turns out I had nothing to worry about. Its a great keyboard to type on. I had no issues with the key distancing and can actually type better on this keyboard vs my previous linear switch keyboards. I originally bought it for its looks, which dont disappoint. The RGB really stands out and I love how the light reflects off the edges of the keycaps. The software is fine. It wants to update every other day but it does the job. At least it doesnt suck up constant CPU like iCUE. Overall Im very happy with this keyboard. I have not had any issues with the lettering peeling off on the keycaps. Sounds like there was a bad batch that went out a while back but has since been fixed. Would recommend!
