The ROCCAT® Vulcan series of gaming keyboards have won an array of awards on the back of their design innovation and functional aesthetics. The ROCCAT® Vulcan 122 AIMO Mechanical RGB Gaming Keyboard is a full-size keyboard variant and features the renowned brown tactile Titan Switch Mechanical. A marvel of German engineering, this switch provides a gentle bump in the middle of the travel. This instant feedback is ideal for competitive gaming. The tactile Titan Swith has a 1.8mm actuation point, 3.6mm total travel distance, 45gf average force and is tested to 50M keystrokes. It adds to a comprehensive feature set that gamers know and love about the Vulcan keyboard series. The low-profile design is engineered for comfort and to reduce typing fatigue, impressive durability and build quality thanks to its reinforcing silver anodized aluminum top plate, and switch housings designed to resist the dust build-up that typically affects mechanical keyboards. Dedicated mixer-style audio controls, a detachable palm rest and per-key AIMO RGB lighting, round out a gaming powerhouse.

Quick-installation guide

Q: Can this be used with a Macbook Pro?

A: Yep. I use it everyday with my MacBook Pro. The one downside is that the customizing of the colors and other features available through the software aren't accessible since you cannot install the software on a Mac. However, I was able to plug this in on my son's PC, add custom color presets, and then plug it back in to the Mac. This left me with all the custom color presets I set up :)

Q: Are the lights displaying in all sorts of colors at all times a must?

A: Completely customizable, set to a factory theme or set as one color. Or even turn off all colors

Q: How long is the wire?

A: Don’t know exactly by measuring right now. But would say it’s approximately 4 ft

Q: are the keys easy to hit or can they be hard to push down For typing reasons

A: The keys are easy to press.

Q: Can each key light color be individually customized?

A: Thanks for your question. Yes, the SWARM software offers per-key light settings for the Vulcan 122.

Q: Will this keyboard work as an external keyboard for a HP laptop? If so will there be a lag? I want to use it to play games on my laptop.

A: Yes, it will work as an external keyboard for an HP laptop.

Q: Can you plug it into a ps4?

A: The cable end is usb so you shouldn’t have a problem with it

Q: Can u use ROCCAT - VULCAN 120 AIMO Full-size Wired Gaming Mechanical Keyboard with Back Lighting with ps4

A: The Vulcan 120 does work with the PS4, but only if the game you are playing supports it. We can not officially guarantee that the keyboard fully works with a Playstation since it is only fully supported under Windows. There is no software function availability when using the keyboard with a console.

Awesome!
Pro - Very solid feel overall and brushed aluminum plate is a great look, one of the reasons it got my attention - Caps have very little wiggle when up but not when pressed down - Magnetic hand rest remained connected well enough when I was picking keyboard up to position it - Raised caps also make it really easy to clean - LED lighting effect does not blind me while sitting in front of it in the dark and they are still bright even in full daylight, LEDs themselves are only visible viewing from the side - Keys are very responsive, I have gotten used to only slightly swiping my finger over the top of keys or lightly tapping to activate them, no need to bottom out Con - A bit expensive at regular price (bought mine on sale at BB for $119.99+tax) - Would have preferred the volume dial be a bit flatter and also aluminum - The white buttons in the top right corner don't match the rest of the keyboard design but are not terrible Some people have had issues with the Swarm software installing. I had absolutely no issues at all installing it so either it's been updated or those people just had user error. The only thing I don't like about it is the custom lighting options and UI for custom effects. I ended up just leaving it on AIMO setting which makes an "organic" movement, an ebb and flow as if carried on water, of various colors and the "hotspots" created by button presses add to it nicely by also alternating colors themselves and not matching colors already being displayed. The "hotspots" grow depending on the length of button presses and number of buttons pressed in the same area. Instead of colors moving in one direction, they come from any point on the keyboard and move like water back and forth to any other random point. Best effect I've ever seen. No more boring rainbows. My previous keyboard was a Razer Deathstalker and coming from that you might think the Vulcan is too loud. It's not to me. Not sure if it's just the way I type on them but the Deathstalker was not much quieter if at all since the keys wiggled a lot and they rubbed on the plastic frame when not pressed in the exact center straight down. I did have to get used to the raised caps though because I had the habit of resting my left hand on the side of the Deathstalker frame which was not far below the keys. Probably would have preferred a linear switch instead of tactile since I think some of the Vulcan's noise is from the tactile bump although it's not clicky. Spacebar is easily the loudest key. This keyboard definitely stood out to me compared to all those other boring, similar looking, RGB keyboards and it does not disappoint.

Beautiful and well built, not as loud as others.
First of all, start displaying Roccat items again. They easily deserve the space. I've seen best buys with 2 razer displays - move that stuff over because Roccat is dominating again. This keyboard feels extremely sturdy, and well.. it is. I tried using other keyboards in house, and they're all very cheap looking. Not sure how someone drops well over $100 for loud plastic boards - this one has a metal inlay, which makes for easy cleaning and makes it feel robust The lights are amazing and you can pick EXACTLY how to light it up... You can make single keys different colors with Swarm. Ignore all the hate other people put up on the software, its extremely unfounded. I've no problems with it as of yet. The keys, when pressed, make a sound, but not blaringly loud like Razer. They feel great to use for lengthy periods of time either in excel or playing games (I use mine for work and games). There are macro keys that you can switch on using a game mode key, so ignore other reviews saying "No macro keys" because its untrue. The volume nob works for the brightness of the keys, or your computer volume. Its really handy actually. All in all, I give a 5. I plan on buying a roccat mouse too soon, as I've heard great things about those too. Don't hesitate, buy this keyboard!

Awesome Keyboard!
At first I was skeptical about this keyboard, but for the sale price, why not? The white matched perfectly with my computer setup. I was worried that it wouldn't feel the same as my last mechanical keyboard when I type. The keys are slightly softer to the touch and did take a few seconds to get use to. I have some wrist problems so with this being lower than my last, it's a lot easier on the wrists and much smoother to type on. The color customization is awesome and fun to play with. A little annoying if you want to change the color of the main keys, it changes them all, but the option to save colors and reapply is simple. One issue some may have is that from the side of the keyboard, the light can be really bright, but from a sitting position it's not bad at all. There is an option in the app to darken the colors on the keys. I would definitely purchase this again, even at the full retail cost!
