ROCCATVulcan 120 AIMO Mechanical PC Gaming Keyboard Tactile Titan Switch, Full Size with Per Key AIMO RGB Lighting, Anodized Aluminum Top Plate and Detachable Palm/Wrist Rest, Gunmetal Gray/Black

the keyboard is amazing to look at and easy to clean.TL;DR: seems like a sturdy keyboard, easy to clean, preloaded color schemes should the software fail (in theory), has some neat features so long as the software is working, and German Engineering meme right on the box.the keys have a somewhat loud click to them with each press, so depending on the user that's either a pro or a con, to me it's neutral, kinda fun when typing in discord to hear the clickity-clack but also makes me feel a little conscious when I see my mic lighting up because it's picking up those clicks. the default profile colors aren't bad either, it's the major reason I picked this keyboard out of all the ones on sale during Prime Day.So far, the software is working as intended too which is awesome, the patterns one can make are enough for most and it's fun that the software can be programmed to use different color layouts for different games, wanna use 1980s pinks and blues while flying an F-14 Tomcat in War Thunder? Done. and once you close the game, it'll switch back to your desktop color before switching again while Destiny 2 boots up.I've gone through several keyboards not because the hardware failed me, but because their software failed and left me locked in with rainbow waves or other less-than-ideal patterns that wore thin fast. with this one having 4 preloaded patterns I'm hoping that won't be an issue should the software fail.also, I like that the note leans into the manufacturer's german heritage by thanking the buyer in german, and even on the box they proudly boast about the German Engineering.finally, the AIMO rainbow-breathing-button-pressing pattern is quite fun to watch and use.

First things first - this keyboard has hands-down the most beautiful RGB I've seen anywhere. The specially made keycaps paired with the AIMO software really do make this keyboard look beautiful. I still find myself staring at it from time to time, just admiring the engineering that went into making this lighting a reality. The steel backplate gives the Vulcan a sturdy feel and a good bit of weight. The separation and elevation of the keycaps combined with the steel backplate means cleaning the Vulcan is very easy. A can of compressed air mostly does the job. The keycaps do leave a bit of oil residue, but it's not a big deal or easy to see over the RGB. I managed to get the keys looking like new with a cloth and a bit of rubbing alcohol.Performance-wise, I have no complaints. Actuation force to get the keys pushed in is quite low, but there is a tactile bump to let you know the key has been depressed. It's an easy sink into a thunk. I will say that I had to get used to the separated & elevated design of the keycaps as it means if you're not careful your fingers can get a little caught up in gaps. This issue will diminish as you get used to the keyboard and your motor memory kicks in, but it is jarring nonetheless.One other small complaint - the W key has a little finder divot etched into it (the same divot the F key has etched into it on most keyboards). Presumably this was done to make finding the W key easier for gamers, but in my opinion it was unnecessary and sort of buries itself uncomfortably into the fingertip. Like the space between the keycaps, this is something I eventually got used to and I don't even notice it anymore, but for the future I would appreciate if Roccat got rid of this divot. It's simply not necessary.Overall, small complaints aside, this is a great keyboard. It is the most beautiful gaming keyboard out there in my opinion and well-engineered in terms of build quality and performance.

I appreciate a good keyboard of solid build, but I'm not so invested into it that I'd consider myself a hobbyist or elitist about keyboards. I like this one because of three main reasonsFirst, I find the look to be very attractive, if you like the look of this keyboard then I think you'll have a hard time finding a better, similar looking one.Second, the switches themselves have a good feel when pressed. I find this super important for the health of my tendons and fatiguing of my fingers. They are tactile switches which means they provide some resistance before actuating. I find that this resistance is good at allowing for faster presses as well as less strain on your tendons. I use this keyboard in competitive games with no issues at all. Though I suppose if you were good enough to be bottlenecked by your keyboard then you probably would be better at noticing it than me.Third, it has a very solid build with a wrist rest. Its design also makes it easy to clean. something which was a nightmare on my previous keyboards. I just take a q-tip and wipe out the debris (mostly cat hair) and it works rather well. I don't even need to take the keycaps off unless I feel like deep cleaning it.

We have gone through 2 of these keyboards and have had no complaints. Good tactical feel and not too loud when we are typing like mad hens in an empty roost! Both of us are gamers, and the have had excellent response time when playing with no lag and no key issues.

Keyboard seems well constructed and has a nice feel, but doesn't have a click tactical response during key press. Overall a very nice keyboard but it is a gaming keyboard and as such will not work on older KVM switches.
