[@MirkoM2425]

Damn I haven't heard from Roccat in a while. Forgot they existed

[@jannikl.8542]

I remember when every kid in Germany wanted to have their products because some of the biggest gaming channels here where sponsored by them. The hype was definitely real but then they slowly disappeared somehow. (of course they still released new products but their KZbin exposure and therefore popularity was nothing compared to back in the day)

[@kasuraga]

I've been rocking roccat gear for like 10 years lol. the easy shift shit is the coolest thing ever to me. that bein said, i havent heard much about their stuff since the ryos mk fx came out and i called it when i said a per key rgb mechanic version would come out despite those keys not really existing yet lol

[@wescon3745]

I wish they took their kain mouse and added those finger tip buttons like on the sides of the leadr. That would be a perfect mouse, and maybe lighten it up a bit but add some weight options.

[@blackyfpv9726]

I used rocact for 4 Years now. Finaly i changed on the Vulkan tkl. It´s the best Keyboard ever ;). You should try it

[@Metranomik]

Best thing is that the RGB auto dims when you don't press any keys for a while; you don't get the distracting lights when watching a video yet as soon as you press any key, you get full brightness and 69% more FPS.* *(82.74% of 9 women surveyed agree).

[@PixelatedH2O]

This is a great looking keyboard. It still suffers from one of the biggest flaws of practically every keyboard on the market though (which don't have replaceble keycaps). Why are companies still putting web browser (especially the ancient IE logo), calculator, notepad, etc legends on keys? Media keys make sense. Everything else seems like a relic from long ago.

[@PitboyHarmony1]

What about assignability of the RGB? Never mentioned the soft/firm ware.

[@ab-pq8bi]

You don't get the fancy App hooking, like Logitech, but you can switch between profiles. You are able to map every key individually, with effects like pulses vor waves. Also the Aimo part between devices, is only the colour shift option you can see in the Video. Other RGB presets are not synced, but present. Software is OK, you can share makros between devices etc, but the updates are only 15% worth doing. Mostly Bugfixes, no New features (never change a running system). There is a chance of crasing wenn updating your Firmware of the devices while updating the driver as well. Happy Owner of a Vulcan 120 for 2 years.

I have the TKL version of that same keyboard. Very loud clicks if you bottom out your keystrokes like I do, even though they're linear. And yes, the actuation is instant. As a CS player, that took some getting used to with CS's counter strafing mechanic. It's much different than coming from MX brown and Romer G switches! But it's very good looking, easy to keep clean (especially since the TKL has a detachable type-C connection), and just an overall nice keyboard to have. Their software is not terrible either. Not as polished as something like Logitech's, but great none the less

[@perlsackhd3957]

Tip for switch testing: Make a jig to measure force over length pressed in. Should only need a linear encoder and a pressure sensor

[@SteadfastWL]
