Customer Ratings & Reviews

Really great keyboard. The tactile feedback isn’t too clicky or loud. Beautiful RGB that doesn’t need extra software to configure. Very useful for gaming and writing papers for school. The keys are a little tall, so it took a few days to get used to typing on them.

Love this keyboard! It’s not super loud to type on and this makes for one of the best gaming keyboards I’ve ever used. Each key press feels like I’m typing on a cloud. I also live the RGB customization with the TurtleBeach app. Pairs well with my Kone XP Air mouse.

My son really love our gift for him for his hardworks and awards in school. This is his first gaming keyboard and all he says are just good review from quality to aesthetics. The only thing that is not good for us is the distance of the store from our place. Great purchase from a great store plus a very kind staffs. Good job BestBuy!

Light weight, ergonomic, and sturdily built keyboard. USB-A to USB-C is a nice feature. Love the RGB customization options, you can make some pretty sick lighting designs. Would buy again.

If you’re looking for a TKL with sturdy buttons and beautiful colors then this is for you.

Great tkl minimilist design with great rgb. Sturdy frame and quiet mechanical keys, though not as quiet as my huntsman mini ( non clikcy version ).

Plug n play. Good clicky clickys and tappy tappys.

Great keyboard and lots of settings for the keyboard colors and sounds

Best gaming keyboard we've ever owned! Nice feel to the keys

Best keyboard I have ever layed my hands on sounds amazing keys are hyper sensitive which is really good for gaming highly recommend this keyboard to anyone.

Keys caps feels very stable dispite being very thin. The red switches are very linear and feel buttery smooth when using them. RGB looks great and the Sound Dial is just amazing. Never thought I would use the dial but it compliments my Audio setup so much.

Love this keyboard so much. So grateful best buy carries my favorite brand.

Good keys . Like the sound of them. To bad one of the keys were chipped when i got it.

This is a great keyboard for PC gaming. It's comfortable, fast, has a pleasant sound and even looks cool. The shipping from Best Buy was fast and professional and they had a great deal going for the keyboard. I'm very happy with this purchase.

This keyboard represents one of the better gaming keyboards in this form factor on the market right now. For a compact, high quality, excellent performing keyboard, you cannot go wrong with this keyboard. Here are the pros and cons of my experience thus far. Pros: -The keys themselves, as red linear switches, are absolutely stunning in their feel, look, and function. They have low profile keycaps that seem to curve inward--cradling your fingertips with every key stroke. Roccat claims that these have some sort of reinforcement in them to reduce side-to-side play and I can absolutely attest to that being true. I have had no less than 4 red linear switch mechanical keyboards, and these keys are the first among them to feel this strong and resistant to side to side play. -Low profile, compact footprint. If you are looking for a small, easily portable keyboard for competitive gameplay or precise typing on the go, this is an amazing option. It is so low profile in fact, that even with my bad wrists, I do not feel that a wrist rest is necessitated to type with this for extended periods of time. The fact that it is detachable from its USB-C cord too makes it easy to clear space off my desk if I need it, which leads us into the next pro…: -It is compatible with any USB-C cord!!! I tested this, and the keyboard worked with any USB-C to USB-A cable I had. That means, that if you are running a clean home desktop setup and you don’t want to be unplugging your cords from the computer itself all the time, you can leave the cord plugged in to the desktop and easily pack up this keyboard with any other USB-C cord that is compatible with the device you want to hook it up to. I am half-tempted to take this keyboard between work and home as it is so much nicer to type on than the awful membrane keyboards there. With how easy this is to plug and unplug, that is a distinct possibility! -The AIMO lighting option is super cool. I actually don’t even know where to begin to explain it better than Roccat’s website can, but I am really enjoying it as part of my rainbow vomit computing setup! For the other lighting options though, I have explored the Roccat Swarm lighting software, and I cannot seem to find any evidence that this has individual RGB programming for each key. It seems to be relegated to pre-programmed lighting zones. This is not a huge deal to me, but something that I want others to be aware of. -High quality materials. Roccat cut no corners here. The brushed aluminum top of this keyboard is gorgeous. The plastics of the keyboard are not flimsy at all and are a silky, matte finish--befitting a more grown up gaming keyboard. The hinges of the feet of the keyboard are firm and snappy, something I noticed when I first messed with them. All in all, the build quality of this keyboard is outstanding. -Unlike some manufacturers, I appreciate the placement ROCCAT chose to put some of the FN secondary options on various keys. For example, on this truncated keyboard, I find that I appreciated the choice of turning the Windows shortcut key on the left into an FN key, making it easier with my natural typing position to navigate some of the FN media keys. This was done by the way by selecting FN and END together. Cons: -Only the most sensitive ears will notice (the same ones that noticed the mosquito ring tone back in like 2005-2008 that all the kids would play during classes), but there is a very high pitched low-buzzing noise that my specific keyboard is emitting, similar to coil whine. I have tested it, and the source seems to be from the LED lighting of the keyboard. When I turn off the LED lighting, the noise disappears. The brighter the LED lighting, the louder it is. I was able to get down the brightness to a certain level where the noise was no longer emitting. This could be unique to my unit and I am sure that if it is something that bothered me enough, Roccat would stand behind there warranty and replace it. Frankly, I do not think most people will notice this and the issue is eliminated altogether with a headset while computing or gaming. -The space bar on my unit does have a distinct metallic ping on the rebound from its pressed in position. This may reduce with break-in time, but it is worth mentioning. Overall, pros and cons placed into consideration. I will give this keyboard a huge thumbs up. I am thrilled to have it as part of my gaming arsenal, and it is further evidence that Roccat knows what they are doing in the gaming industry!

Keyboard is nice, mechanical and works well. I like the lighting as well

The pictures online just don't do the ROCCAT keyboard any justice --- this item is simply stunning in person. The options on this piece of machinery just make it really a full-on smart keyboard which will make a more than perfect must-have addition to your gaming setup. Here are some basic pros and cons: PROS - It has a volume control on the keyboard itself so it doesn't interrupt the game flow - The material doesn't feel cheap; has a slightly brushed aluminum top with a smooth finish --- feels solid - The AIMO lighting option is amazing!! Serious eye candy!! - Easily compatible with USB-C to make for a smooth, clean inclusion in your existing gaming setup - The keys are intentionally built to complement the game play setup; this is obviously noticeable against my other gaming keyboard Cons: - The keyboard did seem to get a bit warm after a while of game play; I understand that it is doing a lot, but my other keyboard didn't get as warm as fast. All in all, this keyboard is a MUST HAVE for your gaming arsenal --- even if just to impress company or film a cool gaming video online!

I've tested a lot of keyboards in the last year and I definitely have a soft spot in my heart for mechanical keyboards. In my opinion they're the best keyboards for gaming and typing. This week I tested the new ROCCAT Vulcan TKL wired mechanical keyboard.  Out of the box I could immediately tell this keyboard was well thought out. The top of the keyboard base has a nice brushed aluminum plate with polished edges. The switches are exposed and have thin keycaps, which allow for maximum lighting beneath them. There are media controls which allow me to quickly adjust volume or mute my computer and best of all there is no number pad or extra extra media keys. This is especially nice because it keeps the keyboard size compact. While using this keyboard to game the keyboard was very responsive. One thing I liked about it was the feel of the keys. I noticed that I didn't have to bottom out the keys to get a response. a half press would register as key press. Another thing I liked was that the lighting profiles are static. Other keyboards would lose their lighting profiles as soon as the software was shut down.  Which brings me to the topic of software. This keyboard uses a software called Swarm to control lighting profiles, remap keys and load custom gaming profiles. The Swarm software was easy to install, easy to use and worked well with other ROCCAT products.  Overall in my opinion, this is a good keyboard that will fit most people's needs for work and play and it has my recommendation.

The ROCCAT - ROCCAT® Vulcan TKL Compact Mechanical RGB Gaming Keyboard - Black is the new standard in gaming keyboard. Style, Class, functionality, tactile responsiveness, visually stunning yet simplistic; everything you need to take your game to the next level. Crush your opponents with the advantages you will gain with the ROCCAT Vulcan TKL! I have tested several keyboards over the past few years and I have to say this one impressed me. Definitely in my top 3 recommended gaming keyboards. I loved the sleek style this keyboard brought to my desktop. The LED backlighting is awesome, yet not too bright to distract from your game. The mechanical keys are different than the tactile keys, but exceptionally responsive, fast, and accurate. I wasn't sure I would like the know-style volume control on the physical keyboard, but found I used it often and it was quick and effective at changing volume when needed or when the sound of the game was too loud or quiet. I even tested this keyboard with a MacBook Pro for comparison with the PC and PC Laptops. Surprisingly, while specifically designed for Windows OS, it performed flawlessly, except where the "Command" key was necessary such as copy and pasting from the keyboard. I did find that you must used the provided cable or the keyboard will not respond or register with the computer (Tried an Apple Branded USB C to USB C with not luck) PROS - ROCCAT Scores big with design, style, and funcationality - Solid build using real metal giving it sturdiness and reliability for years to come - Excellent layout - Mechanical Keys boasting over 50 million keystroke life - Responsive in both Windows and Mac OS - Effortless setup, plug and play - Physical knob for volume was actually useful CONS - Not having a full keyboard with 10-key pad is a bit of a downside if you were to use this keyboard beyond gaming - Must use the provided braided USB A to USB C cable

I love this keyboard, its very slim, compact and feels very sturdy with an aluminum body. I got the linear switches, which are Roccat's own, but feel kind of cherry MX red linears. They make a nice mechanical clack, but don't have the annoying click of blues, they feel very nice and no tactile bump, great for gaming, but you may not like them much if you are a typist. The keycaps are super slim, however they feel very sturdy and there is barely any wiggle, being so slim, makes the RGB stand out way more than other keyboards. Being and ten keyless board, you save space to move your mouse to your pleasure. I love this form factor. Their software is great, very intuitive and easy to use, I would not categorize it as "bloatware" as other brands software, because its very light and very useful, allows to configure lighting and other things. The only con I could say about this kb is the fact that the key caps appear to be plastic ABS, as they are very smooth and shiny, so be prepare to clean finger oils. I really wish most kb manufacturers ditch ABS and all start including double shot PBT key caps as they are more durable and less prone to finger oil shine. These, being so slim, I'm not so sure there are aftermarket PBT key caps sets that may be compatible, but may be worth looking online. Other than that, they keyboard is great and I will highly recommend it to anyone looking to save desk space, some money (cheaper compared to others) and make a nice light show due the super slim caps!
