Overview

Colourful gaming

The Vulcan 120 AIMO mechanical gaming keyboard from ROCCAT features RGB AIMO backlighting, Roccat mechanical switches and a removable wrist rest. It is designed specifically for gamers with its fast, tactile Titan switches. A reinforced metal frame gives the Vulcan 120 extra strength to last longer and withstand the harsh conditions of gaming use. The keys have been optimised to prevent dust build-up and the transparent structure evenly distributes the powerful AIMO lighting system that can be customised key by key and offers 16.8 million colours.

Gaming design

The Vulcan 120 AIMO will brighten up your game with its16.8 million colour RGB backlighting allowing you to configure each key to your favorite game or mood. A reinforced anodised aluminium frame gives the ROCCAT gaming keyboard a more solid structure to protect it from wear and tear.

A configurable wheel that provides quick and intuitive control for video, sound, lighting, brightness...completes the Vulcan 120. In addition, thanks to its 360° rotation, the wheel offers precise on-the-fly control flexibility. The flat, unobtrusive design and removable wrist rest significantly improve ergonomics. It remains comfortable to use even after many hours of play. The keys have been specially designed for ease of maintenance. The layout of the keys remains traditional, but their reduced height allows them to be cleaned without difficulty.

Even brighter switches

The Titan switches developed in-house at ROCCAT are the strength of the Vulcan. They have an activation point of 18 mm anda travel distance of 36 mm, which makes them ideal for games that require fast and precise actions. The switches have a structure that reduces oscillation during typing and significantly reduces electrical contact bounce.

Thanks to these innovations, the software can detect the keystroke 20% faster and the Vulcan's ultra-lightweight keys are 50% lighter than standard keys for fast, accurate and responsive typing.

Customizable lighting

The Vulcan 120 features the AIMO backlighting system. This means that each switch has a long-lasting, individually configurable LED capable of displaying 16.8 million colours and numerous special effects. The transparent structure of the swich Titan provides bright illumination and even distribution of light.

In addition, AIMO functionality grows with the number of compatible devices connected and in response to your usage.

    Beautiful and pleasant, but ... to be thrown away after 2 years

    This keyboard is a dream to use (especially with the volume control wheel, it's a total blast)
    It is beautiful and the lighting is really impressive.
    The only negative point is that the lighting modes can only be changed when the SWARM software is running, so under Linux, it becomes a very nice normal keyboard with no customization possibilities.
    On the other hand, very bad point:
    After two years of use, some of the keys are starting to lose their touch.
    You blow on it and it starts again, except that after a few months, it starts again and it spreads to other keys.
    After contacting Roccat, for this keyboard, the key switches are soldered to the bottom of the keyboard, so it's not possible to replace them.
    The keyboard is just good for the bin! What a waste of money and ecology!
    I saw on their website that they now make keyboards with optical switches that can be replaced.
    I'm not sure if I'll buy this brand again, but one thing is for sure, I'll make sure the switches can be changed/replaced!

    Long-term purchase forgotten

    I bought this keyboard in 2019, the keyboard is starting to have the same problems as everyone else with the keys, for the price you would expect at least 5+ years.
    I will not make the same mistake again.

    Poor value for money.

    Purchased on 07/01/2019, out of order on 28/06/2021.

    What a disappointment to see a gamer keyboard at this price already be down. Note that I am only a casual gamer, so there was no heavy use.
    Never again Roccat....

    Beautiful, but ...

    I used this keyboard for 1 year and was very satisfied with it, then the following year I was forced to stop using my fixed computer and therefore this keyboard. I've been using this keyboard for a year and was very happy with it, then the following year I was forced to stop using my desktop computer and this keyboard, unfortunately since then some of the keys don't work or double click (or even triple click) so one time I don't have any N's and the next time I have 3. I have never mistreated this product and I bought it because I had several Roccat mice that I could not complain about. It has been a year now and I am really getting tired of it. I'm going to change my keyboard.
    I have tried to clean it though....
    Also, while researching I discovered that I was far from being the only one to have these problems.

    An excellent keyboard!

    As said in the title, this keyboard is really excellent! It's a little jewel, as much in the look as in the touch! The brushed aluminium plate is of the most beautiful effect, very pleasant to the touch (cold!) and participates largely has the impression of solidity which emerges from the keyboard! Visually still, the keys, all visible individually in a small translucent plastic shell branded Roccat make the backlighting magnificent, since it is visible on the whole keyboard, and not only on the top of the key! The whole thing remains very sober, which is quite rare for the brand! Moreover, although not my taste, the black/white version of this keyboard is very nice in a suitable configuration (which is not my case xD)
    I'm not a g@m3rs nor a mechanical keyboard specialist, just a casual gamer and developer who was tired of having crappy keyboards. And I'm not disappointed in the least! The switches don't have a return click, so no extra noise, and the click on activation is very soft, almost imperceptible. It's an all-mechanical keyboard, less noisy than most membrane or even chiclet keyboards I've seen, and with a particularly soft feel. ¨No need to force on the keys, this one presses all alone, without resistance, and very quickly. I'm not sure if it's the same as a chiclet keyboard, but it's thicker, which is very nice. In addition, the low-profile design of the keycaps is very well thought out and allows you to press them without ripping, whatever the angle of attack, and even with slightly wet hands. A half star less for the software suite, perfectible. I'm not sure if it's a good keyboard for gaming or office use, but it's worth the price!
