(as of Aug 11,2024 10:57:37 UTC – Roccat’s celebrated, award-winning Vulcan keyboard series has made a giant leap forward with the introduction of two new tenkeyless variants. Despite 70-80% of gamers having full-size keyboards, the numpad area represents a relic from office days and is almost never used while gaming. A new generation of gamers is growing up without the sentimentality for traditional form factors. Instead, they’re uniquely aware of the benefits of tenkeyless: less desk real estate taken up their keyboards means they can have a larger pad and use a bigger range of a mouse movements, ultimately giving them more accuracy. The tenkeyless Vulcans also feature an ergonomic, low-profile design that eliminates the need for a palm rest. Roccat’s tenkeyless Vulcans gives gamers the award-winning feature set of the original Vulcan in a smaller form factor. Detachable USB-C is introduced as a new standard to be used across all products in Roccat’s eco-system. This provides users with easier portability, especially with the on-board storage of a tournament profile for the same top performance at home and away. Both the Vulcan TKL and Vulcan TKL Pro also fully benefit from the AIMO intelligent lighting engine. The Roccat Vulcan TKL Compact Mechanical RGB Gaming Keyboard features the Titan Switch Mechanical. Its linear actuation provides the industry’s best mix of speed and responsiveness. It also boasts improved firmware that recognizes keystrokes faster and more reliably to make it the best mechanical switch on the market.

Title: Beautiful compact keyboard
Review: Lovely solid keyboard, with an inoffensive, silky but satisfying click. Keys really easy to clean around with a paintbrush. Lighting effects nice and bright but only really use the pre-programmed ‘aimo’ which is spot on. Physical sound volume is great and has a good solid feel to it, much easier than looking for volume controls on various apps and browser windows. Swarm software that supports this is a bit overblown (useful for someone who wants to record macros though) however, have fallen a bit in love with the sound feedback so I can have a loud, in headphone traditional clicky sound when coding without annoying anyone (well …if I was back in the office).Have an older Roccat Kone EMP mouse however, it isn’t compatible with aimo lighting effects which is a shame. Newer models do.Bought this as a treat for myself and found it was the best keyboard I’ve ever had for coding. Its responsive, has excellent key spacing – which reduces fat-finger typing mistakes and has the | \ / @ symbols all where they need to be (last keyboard needed some arcane key combos). I can type a smidge faster during a long day and as odd as it sounds this keyboard is..just fun. Its tkl and I haven’t missed them but I notice the extra desk space.If I was moving this keyboard around a lot I’d be worried about the USB-C /HDMI connecting cable which is not braided and finding generic replacements might be difficult as the USB-C port is shaped to hold the connection snugly.Not much more to say other than I love it. Zero buyers remorse. Would buy again. Highly recommend.

Title: Perfect keyboard
Review: I bought this Roccat because of its low profile and size. This is typical TKL. The quality of workmanship is excellent and it’s hard to fault anything. I put my Corsair K100 RGB PRO aside because even though it has everything I need, it is huge and I don’t have space on my desk. This Roccat is simply perfect for the things I need. Small size, excellent software supporting this equipment and backlight. It is a cable keyboard, but detachable. I enjoy typing, working and playing on it. I highly recommend. Until now, I was a fan of another brand, Corsair. But their keyboards are extremely expensive. Not worth such a high price. And I needed something smaller that would work great and not take up much space on the desk. I highly recommend. I am extremely pleased with this purchase. Aha… the price is a really big surprise.

Title: A truly fantastic keyboard let down by software
Review: This is beautiful keyboard. It’s solid and has a real quality feel. Keystroke action is smooth and ultra responsive as you need from a gaming keyboard. Really, after trying so many types of mechanical keyboards, this has the best feel by miles.Downside…the software is awful. Once you set up the colours you want your keys, each time you start up your PC, it resets to default. Also, it doesn’t like other software that manages other RGB in your PC and it causes the keys to flicker like the keyboard is shorting out. A real shame that something like this should let down such a good piece of hardware

Title: A really excellent keyboard
Review: I have bought many different keyboards over the years in my work as a software and database developer. Until recently I had always stuck with low profile membrane keyboards and usually went with Logitech (K740, K750, MX Keys etc) and always found them to be great keyboards – reliable, comfortable and always sub £100. In the past few years, mechanical keyboards have come to the fore and I felt it was time for me to delve into this previously untested area. I started with the Roccat Vulcan TKL (non Pro version) and loved it immediately. Very comfortable typing experience, solidly built with the best RGB output I have ever seen! I paid just over £100, (£115 from memory) for this board and I considered it a very good buy. Soon after, I was swayed by the Logitech G915 TKL, which, don’t get me wrong, is an excellent keyboard, but at nearly £200 is overpriced and I was generally underwhelmed with it. It is a great keyboard, well built with a slightly better typing experience than the Roccat (slightly larger keycaps and fractionally more comfortable to type on) but really not worth £200. The RGB output is very tame in comparison to the Roccat too. I had wondered about the Pro version of the Vulacan and when I saw Amazon had it with £40 discount, I just had to get it to try it out. I have really not been disappointed! It is a brilliantly built keyboard with a a very similar, but improved typing experience over the non-Pro version. Maybe the optical switches make a slight difference, I am not sure, but I am loving this board. For the price, even at full price, it knocks spots off the G915 with a nearly £50 saving. Essentially, any of the 3 keyboards mentioned here will be very good purchases, but the Roccat is a bargain as well as a very good buy.

Title: I’ve had some of the most expensive keyboards
Review:  And I settled on this. Out of the box you can feel the quality and how pretty this keyboard is. Getting used to it was a matter of a minute with accuracy. Typing on it is a pleasure and it just works flawlessly with its software. I’ll post an update if my opinion has changed about it.

Title: Almost perfect
Review: The keyboard itself is awesome, feels really premium quality and solid – and I tried basically all TKLs on the market. The lighting is good also and can be made to be nicely reactive to your usage.I have a minor issue with the lack of one key that I use all the time (PrtScr), which would be easily solved by key remapping… however the software is unfortunately almost comically bad, and won’t let you do it! Instead I had to use Windows Powertoys… but seems like such a basic function for essentially mandatory software.

Review: Seriously, for how much this costs why do I have keys with the wrong symbols labeled on them? Is this some sort of long-term plan to force me to memorize all of my letters, and special characters?
