Customer Ratings & Reviews

I received this product in exchange for my fair and honest review. Some of you may not be familiar with Roccat as a brand, but I am. I've owned a couple of their mice previously and I've always been satisfied with them. So when the opportunity arose for me to try out the Roccat Vulkan TKL keyboard, I took it. I have to say that I'm overall impressed with its gaming performance and backlighting, that I found it pleasant to type on overall, but I wasn't wowed with the Roccat Swarm software that allows for programming macros and setting up the way the keyboard looks as it lacked intuitiveness. USB-C as a breakaway connecter was a definite plus though. ----------------------------------------------- Unboxing and setup: The keyboard and cable were packed nicely, the keyboard in a plastic wrapper and the cable tucked away in its own little pocket. The cable came with the added bonus of a velcro strap for holding it together during storage. The keyboard connects to the cable with a USB-C connector. The other end of the cable plugs into your computer with a USB-A connector. You'll then want to install the Roccat Swarm software, which is a quick download from Roccat's website. Once installed, you'll be able to update firmware and configure the lighting to how you want it to look; this unit can set lighting on a per-key basis to any one of more than 16 million colors. The Swarm software itself is somewhat unintuitive for the keyboard. I wanted to do a teal gradient across the keyboard and wasn't able to do so, but did manage to set a mode that made keypresses seem like fireworks on the keys themselves. While playing games, the keyboard was extremely comfortable to use in gaming. The buttery-smooth Titan switches - which are linear and feel like a good version of a red switch - reacted properly. Ghosting also didn't seem like an issue, as pressing more than 4 keys didn't cause anything to stop working. It's also a decent productivity keyboard but you'll have to elevate your hands from your desk to use it comfortably. ----------------------------------------------- Disappointments: None too serious. I just wish my keyboard kept its settings between reboots. Also, a C-to-C cable in the package would be nice. ----------------------------------------------- In closing, I can recommend this keyboard to the avid gamer.

i think its just due to roccat and their ability to put out consistent hardware

The ROCCAT - ROCCAT® Vulcan TKL Compact Mechanical RGB Gaming Keyboard - Black is a nicely built compact gaming keyboard that has many of the best functions to add to my gaming experience the keys are spaced adequately to allow complete dexterity of hand movements. Downloading the SWARM software allowed me to fine tune the ROCCAT® Vulcan TKL Compact Mechanical RGB Gaming Keyboard - Black. The sound feedback commands create different sounds when pressing the keys. The available sounds are Silent, Click Sound, Typewritter sound, Beam Sound and Sci-Fi Sound. Key illuminatin gives nine lighting modes to use with the ROCCAT® Vulcan TKL Compact Mechanical RGB Gaming Keyboard - Black (Intelligent, Wave, Snake, Fully Lit, Heartbeat 2.0, Breathing 2.0, Fade FX, and Custom Mode). Key assignment is also available with the SWARM software that allows creating a new macro. I can mute and control volume of the keyboard clicks. The F function keys also allow for duplication of commands, creating a short cut. The ROCCAT - ROCCAT® Vulcan TKL Compact Mechanical RGB Gaming Keyboard - Black is a nice little gaming keyboard to own.

This is a great keyboard if you arent into hot swappable keys and don't have a sound preference. This keyboard is strong and will last forever. I've used it for about 4 years so far with zero problems. RGB is very customizable and the software for it is very user friendly and easy to use.

Fantastic keyboard for the price. RGB lighting is crisp, and the adjustable volume knob is a cool feature

My desk space seems to get smaller and smaller with each new peripheral I add, so saving space is a better solution that getting more space. This keyboard does just that. Very responsive and easy to move around. Great at home or on the go. Fits well into my gaming setup. Would recommend. Very sturdy build with no loss of advantage.

Perfect form factor. I love this TKL keyboard. I can carry it with me to and from work. I got the one with linear switches and really love how responsive they are. Because they are so responsive, they will take a little getting used to, especially if you're someone like me who misclicks a lot. The other thing to get used to is the key spacing. The keys seem to be spaced a little farther than I'm used to. For gaming, it has been alright, but like I said, typing is going to take a little getting used to.

This thing ooozes quality, its very well made. The layout is ergonomic and comfortable to use. The lights arent too distracting and add a nice glow to your station. The keys are very sensitive and take a little getting used to. I would not recommend this keyboard for administrative work that requires a lot of typing, after all, its a gamming keyboard. It is sturdy, easy to clean, lightweight and travels very well. 5 stars

The stock ABS keycaps are terrible. They have a really slick texture and collect fingerprint oil pretty fast, which makes them slippery feeling. The shape of the caps combined with the gap between them makes typing on this board an unpleasant experience. I would have looked past this issue if I were able to use one of my other sets of PBT keycaps that I already have laying around. The Roccat switches use standard Cherry MX style stems, but the stems used on the key stabilizers are smaller than the standard Cherry MX style used on most boards so none of the stabilized keycaps can be changed out. Needless to say I will be returning this board.

Overall good keyboard. Keyboard does make noticeable sound when typing which may not be suited for everyone. Also I feel that this keyboard is slightly on the sensitive side.

Good pc and is providing amazing gameplay. Recently bought as i moved on from console and am satisfied with this product.

Good keyboard. Good keyboard. Good keyboard. Good keyboard.
