> 3 dayAfter using the Corsair K70 / K95, RK, EpoMaker th80 I find this keyboard satisfactory if not for a a few quirks. I love the look of exposed RGB / switches I think it makes for a nice aesthetic to look at. I find the keys to be spaced out enough and I do enjoy typing and gaming on it so far. Some quirks I found that its a bit light for the price imo and there is a tinny sound when the keys hit the base. The more I type on it the more I notice the sound. I got the Titan linear and they are okay, not the most fun to type on but far from the worst. I find that the hollow noise is coming from the chassis as Im typing this and that might be a deal breaker as its very noticeable. I dont make alot of reviews so this is rare that I even bring this up. Just warning people who are going to spend around 80 bucks on a keyboard. The space bar and a zero sound room makes this thing sound like im there is a slot machine going off next to be, its like a bell sound when I type, does that make me a heavy typer?

> 3 dayI like everything about this keyboard. The keys have a soft touch finish, similar to luxury car finish interior. It looks amazing. The actuation is a bit short, but I have adapted to it. The caps have a nice curve and each key can be felt separate from the other. Got this on Amazon used for $100, one of the best investments besides for the $20 monitor stand.

Greater than one weekim still getting used to the linear switches, but overall, its highly accurate, no lag that I can feel or experience in game or otherwise, not the best for typing, for typing id recommend tactile switches, but these are good enough, but for gaming, linear switches are the best

> 3 dayIve never written a review for a product on the same day as receiving it, but I was so impressed with this keyboard I immediately bought a second for my nephew and Im ready to slam a 5-star. This is my first experience with linear actuation or optical switches. Ive heard people say this board does a pretty good job with typing -- so that its useful for beyond just gaming -- and let me just say, that holds true. Im quite a speedy touch typist (120+ wpm), and I can type as fast as ever with only minimal errors, which should only improve with some more time on the board. I saw some say this keyboard is loud, but it isnt really. I suspect this is from people bottoming out on their key strokes, but if youre a more skilled typist you will learn the actuation point and type much lighter and quieter since the linear switches dont require you to bottom out your presses. When it comes to gaming, wow, what a difference. The smooth strokes and quick response feels like it has lifted the skill ceiling on movement. I can actually dance around with my hand on the keyboard much faster to do the things I want to do, and I feel much more precise. I did not expect a keyboard to make such a big difference, but if you are being bottlenecked on a slower board, then this definitely will make a difference for you as it has for me. The weight of the board is really solid and the key presses are super soft. The RGB looks great and you can assign different lighting to individual keys in the software. Only one gripe so far: ABS keycaps. For a $140 board it would be nice to have PBT, but I knew this when I got it. Still, the finish on the keys is actually very nice and feels much better than your typical ABS caps. The tldr of all this -- amazing for gaming, yet still solid for typing. Super comfy to type on and feels quality.

> 3 dayPros - Wonderful, beautiful AIMO lighting that is by far the best RGB Ive ever used. - Fun to type on, nice feeling keycaps, lowish profile - Gorgeous to look at - Volume dial is nice, along with the mute button - Nice media function keys built in, although dedicated buttons wouldve been more welcome Cons - You need Roccat Swarm software running in the background to use the beautiful AIMO lighting system. This means I cant use it for my work laptop (cant download outside software) so Im stuck with generic lighting :( - Typing is loud (louder than blue clicky keys to some degree). Spacing and the switches makes my fingers hurt after long periods of time and I make WAY more typos on this than other keyboards (of which I have many, because I love them) - Volume is a turn dial and not something easier like a rolling dial like Logitech G915tkl. I prefer the rolling dial because you can use it with one finger. This Vulcan tkl requires two fingers at least and is heavy to use. Since I have a pull out keyboard draw, its hard to reach. Overall this is a beautiful keyboard to behold but I just cant find a good practical use for it as a main or long-typing driver.

> 3 dayGreat keyboard for the price. I wanted something without a keypad and had great quality, I made the right choice. The keys are solid and the click noise is quite satisfying. Not a normal, yet annoying mechanical keyboard click (Annoying in my opinion.) The quality is unbeatable for the price point as well, you really cannot go wrong with this keyboard. Overall, outstanding keyboard and I love Roccat. I have the Magma membrane keyboard as well, great brand to purchase from.

> 3 dayGreat TKL gaming keyboard! The keyboard looks premium and feels very solid and nicely build. I wanted something smaller so TKL is well balanced for gamers. RGB looks beautiful and gaming and typing felt great. I have absolutely no issues.

> 3 dayThis is easily the best keyboard I have ever used in my life. The switches are fast, responsive, and give good haptic feedback when pressed. The sturdy aluminum base and low profile give it a very balanced feel. I also like how the keys are not recessed into the board, so its easy to clean between the keys. I write probably 10,000-15,000 words per week and everything feels super sturdy still. Its also small enough to put in your backpack if you need a board on the go. I havent tried too much gaming with it yet but what I have done feels great. If you want to use the LEDs to their full extend, make sure to download Roccats Swarm software so you can make custom color profiles and patterns. I personally really like the lighting options but you can turn all that stuff off if you dont want to use it Overall, its an excellent keyboard. I wish there were a wireless version but oh well.
