Favorite keyboard ever. Have used all gamer brands. This one is the cleanesst looking one and smoothest. Now all my gaming gear is roccat

Works as intended. Very clicky keys, cool customizable features

Mechanical keyboard, fast and applies easier touch for gaming experiences, also other needs, has a volume controle bar to adjust sound, plus has a mute/unmute button.

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.

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

Perfect keyboard , i like all the lights and is not too noisy , i love it

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!

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

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.

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

A bit over a year later the LED lights died About sums it up ... Keyboard is decent though but I play in the dark so this ain't gonna work.... Consider this a long term review. Nothing stands out pro or con.... Probably not worth the $80 I paid ..

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

Plug n play. Good clicky clickys and tappy tappys.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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!

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.
