you are the hero the world needs

[@iconicszn8068]

Good girl

[@VolcomStoneGrrl]

Godlike! Thank you

[@millzo]

Just got this keyboard about an hour ago and im literally in love with it

[@TotallydubbedHD]

Happy days!

[@shotxnaj4815]

I like the wrist rest perfectly. I find that the softer one found in Razers wrist rest isn't practical for me. So im happy with the material choice by vulcan

[@TotallydubbedHD]

Thanks for sharing :)

[@Justme1635438]

Also, the soft wrist rests become really ugly quite quickly. This one seems to be easier to clean!

[@abrarjunejo]

Just when I thought I needed a new keyboard and introduced to this beast, damn!

[@TotallydubbedHD]

ha :D

[@leepiclydiedie3735]

tbh people always complain about the cheap keys they dont even know what a real keyboard like this is the keyboard is a mega buy i got one and its strong i mean theres always someone complains about keyboard

[@Peirm]

I’m so dumb. When he said 140 pounds I thought he was talking about weight then I thought about it

[@ylbers2965]

lmao, funny.

[@Derpinn]

same

[@cflowlastname548]

I had this keyboard for a year. After just a few days a cable got stuck under one if the switches and the plastic broke off from the keycap. This is a very beautiful keyboard, but it is not very durable. Also because of the mushroom shape of the keys, I often slipped on the keys, triggering multiple keys by accident. Now I replaced my Roccat Vulcon 120 Aimo for a Ducky One 2 TKL with pudding keycaps. It looks just as nice but the quality and accuracy is great.

[@disturbed230885]

Good concise review, thanks :)

[@dominiquecamus8488]

Future buyers of Roccat Vulcan 121 AIMO, be careful: this black model (only this model) can embed two variations concerning Titan switches (mid-2020): 1/ Titan Linear (red), more relevant for extreme gaming (such Cherry MX Red), lower course actuation. 2/ Titan Tactile (brown), more efficient for any usage (such Cherry MX Brown). Plz note Titan Tactile switches are installed on both 120 / 122 models.

[@TotallydubbedHD]

Thanks for the info :)

Are you sure This keyboard can handle My axe?

[@samokazem2211]

Albert Hofmann would recommend this keyboard for sure

[@technewsfortechnoobs]

Good lord those keys are LOUD!!! That right there kills this keyboard for me. Also, no USB passthrough is a big negative to me. For the price point the Vulcan sits at, they should have added at least 1 USB passthrough like virtually EVERY OTHER KEYBOARD has at that price point. Great looks can't quite do it for me with these few massive oversights.

[@iconicszn8068]

I'm gonna make a hole in my office with this keyboard

[@SplishSplashdash]

how hard are people typing on their keyboards where the keys need to be replaced?

[@pumpkinsoul12]

I want this but all of the stores that do have them in stock have them in ANSI layout despite me being in EU

[@TotallydubbedHD]

:(

[@rossmpostpro]

Hi mate, enjoyed the video. Can you set lighting and macros and then uninstall the software and still retain the functionality? I hate having unnecessary bloatware! Thanks mate

[@TotallydubbedHD]

I think it does, but honestly can't remember unfortunately

[@TheWiiplay]

What about the build quality? I read a few reviews that a keys lose function as there is zero help from Roccat.

[@TotallydubbedHD]

Can't comment on that, no idea about customer support

[@wasky1]

it took 4 or five good strong presses on all the keys on mine and then they work perfectly. been using for 2 month. Build quality is very solid.

[@coolcatjohnny380]

I guess these keyboards (incl the vulcan 122) come only in brown switches, which is rather unfortunate. I tried a K95 RGB which had browns and they had little (barely) perceptible feedback. Imho, you're better off with reds or blues, not a "compromise" switch like the browns. If these came with blues or a clicky equivalent then I'd probably purchase it.

[@TotallydubbedHD]

Reds have less feedback than browns though...blues are loud!

[@thorhampuswallin5942]

Just got it for 60$ here in sweden

[@Paul-px1ww]

Is the wrist thing really necessary ? I don't really feel like paying 10 more euros for a thin platic rectangle whenthe keyboard itself is already pretty expensive.

[@TotallydubbedHD]

I personally always like a wrist rest - but you're also paying for the rgb

[@patricekeiser9]

Thank you 👍

[@dukesilver7202]

This looks "tactic-cool", but I like Logitech's build better. It would be nice if Logitech could make the colors pop more like the Vulcan.

[@TotallydubbedHD]

I picked up the Blackwidow Elite for $170 orange. Its new so couldn't find on sale anywhere. However I just saw this video and Im wondering if I made the right choice. Dont get me wrong I love the Blackwidow, but this just looks gorgeous.

[@TotallydubbedHD]

@@Gotallofthem1 new Razer keyboards are a waste of time. In fact, they've always been overpriced.

[@TMCC401]

[@LGmarge]

Anyone else blow on their phone thinking the cable was a hair?

[@jaethabeast]

😂😂😂 4 years late but yes I did

[@dominiquecamus8488]

The pros : nice look aluminium plate, great RGB, magnetic wrist rests, no USB 2.0 joke (and big cable requiring two USB plugs on PC), its cable, global German build quality, ability to change the RGB intensity on the fly (FX button + encoder), Titan Tactile switches (brown). The cons : badly-designed Swarm software (limited to 5 profiles, useless features such sound on keypress, a bit "can of worms" in particular for newbies), the two visible black bolts above F1 and F4 keys, rigid plastic wrist rests, no forum/community (from official website - a bit poor IMHO), perhaps a bit expensive (but like other brands, for similar category). The Vulcan 121 AIMO is now my first choice (planned July 2020) to replace Corsair K70 RGB MK.2 Low Profile crap!

I already bought it, why am I watching reviews... Do I really dislike learning for school so much?

[@TotallydubbedHD]

Do pay attention at school, it can help :)

[@ValMephora]

@@TotallydubbedHD I have been sitting at my desk for 5 hours and doing nothing now, this is the only day where I got sparetime and I should learn for a test and write two Essays, but all I did was crying over my incompetence to get my skin together and do something and watch stupid videos... I am done with it... I hate everything

[@TotallydubbedHD]

@@ValMephora that's sad bud, but I was like you (so I can relate), didn't really like school growing up. However, I knew I had to persevere to get where I wanted to be. Hard work doesn't come from doing nothing; you need to keep it up and think of the better goal. Seek career/coaching advice maybe and see what might be best suited for you (no matter how old you are).

[@Scorpion24101]

I bought it. It is very fragile compared to all other keyboards. You hit it once - keycap breaks.

[@TotallydubbedHD]

Thanks for sharing, sad to hear this.

[@CC-uk6xd]

keyboard asmr lol

[@Scorpion24101]

Avoid it, its very fragile. My spacebar broke and Roccat does not sell replacements. Not worth the pricetag.

[@TotallydubbedHD]

[@trudnicki2506]

No replace parts and no repair service. Thank You roccat your marvelous build to last keyboard..... lasted 2 years of not so extensive use. Titan switches have an issue of getting broken so when you type you got double types or missing types. Really helpful by playing games not to mention writing passwords or typing in general. So your slogans "build to last", "best in the world", "100 million clicks", "The Titan Switch is a marvel of German engineering" and "best mechanical switch on the market" are going to trash with my keyboard beside it. The worst is that they are admitted in email that they are aware of the problem but guess what .... STILL SELLING FAULTY PRODUCT. NO ROCCAT EVER AGAIN. I hope the market will show you soon your place which is the bankruptcy. It could be great keyboard, it definitely looks good but unfortunately that is all good sides. My 170 euro is wasted but my lesson is learned. Before you buy any peripherals. First look for users reporting problems and ask company for repair service and spare parts. And dont buy anything which is not on the market for at least half year.
