(Pocket-lint) – The Tenkeyless Vulcan Pro is a very nice keyboard, finished here in polar white. But it is as easy on the fingers as it is on the eyes.
If you haven’t tried Roccat Vulcan Pro keyboards and want to know what it’s all about, well, that’s good news – because we’ve played with this awesome model to let you know our thoughts.
now its better
- All keys can be reset using the built-in macro memory and settings memory
- Anodized aluminum housing with a low profile design
- Compatible with Roccat Swarm
- Polling rate 1000 Hz
The Roccat Vulcan TKL Pro hits the spot for a number of different reasons. First, it features an ultra-thin, low-profile design that fits beautifully on a desk, providing the added benefit of reducing stress on your wrists and hands when gaming or working.
Of course, being a TKL keyboard, it has fewer keys than a full-size keyboard, so it takes up less space on your desk as well. This means there’s plenty of room for your favorite gaming mouse and plenty of room to frantically flip across the desktop during a good gaming session.
The second striking part of this keyboard is its anodized aluminum housing. It features a brushed finish that not only gives it a premium look but also complements the RGB lighting.
The Roccat Vulcan TKL Pro also features a detachable USB-C cable, so you have the option to replace the cable with a dedicated cable or simply disconnect and replace if you need to. So it’s also scalable, which makes it even more attractive.
Like the keyboard itself, the keycaps are low profile—meaning they’re thin and raised above the standard over the keys—meaning there’s a nice gap between the keycap and keyboard, allowing for great light leakage. It should also be easier to keep clean: a bit of compressed air blown between and under the switches will keep dust and debris in place a lot easier.
The keys are comfortable, precise, and satisfying for everything you do. They are concave keys here, which allow your finger to sit comfortably on each key. However, one downside is the spacing: there is a space between each key that can sometimes feel larger than on other keyboards. Once you get used to it, it’s not a problem – but you can still feel the edges of the sockets and this can be an unpleasant experience for some.
fast line work
- 1.4mm driver, 3.5mm total travel, 45gf . driver force
- Titan Switch developed by Roccat
- Ultra-light key design
Vulcan TKL Pro is built with Titan Switch from Roccat. They are linear switches that have a soft feel when pressed and a firm keypress as well. They are not noisy or clicky, and because they are visual, you can be sure that they act quickly and accurately.
These keys operate at only 1.4mm. This means that they only need a very short press before the keystrokes are registered. This is great for fast-paced gaming, but not so much for standard office typing. If you’re sitting with your hands firmly on the keyboard when you’re idle and not typing, this can be a problem, but if you’re a gamer who wants fast and reliable action, these keys are great.
It’s also tested and guaranteed for up to 100 million keystrokes, so you can be sure to keep it going again and again.
Glorious RGB and Programmability
- RGB lighting with 16.8 million colors
- Several lighting options
For fans of RGB lighting, the Roccat Vulcan TKL Pro is a real treat, not least thanks to Roccat’s AIMO Smart Lighting Mode – an intriguing color-changing system that means the keyboard is always lit in interesting ways.
It changes regularly but in a subtle way. Sometimes that means responsive lighting that interacts as you type, and other times the delightful color changes are more pleasing to the eye. You can of course choose from different effects in Roccat’s Swarm – Options include breathe, wave, snake, heartbeat, full light, ripple, fade and more. But the standard AIMO lighting is so great we don’t feel the need to tweak it.
As mentioned earlier, RGB lighting is brilliantly complemented by the overall design of the keyboard. The raised case, glossy backplate, and white switches help the Vulkan TKL Pro shine well in many ways.
Roccat Swarm software gives users access to a wide range of settings, with every key on the keyboard reprogrammed. Roccat’s key mapping feature allows you to choose and assign any key with an alternate keystroke, macro, or other parameter.
As with other Roccat products, you can also assign the Easy-Shift function to several keys. It is a secondary layer of actions or keystrokes that can be accessed by assigning a specific key to access this layer. This means that despite its size as a keyless keyboard, you can still get a lot more keys, actions, and macros than you first see. You can also create different profiles for different tasks, so the flexibility is amazing.
Vulcan Pro Keyless is a beautiful looking keyboard that is as easy to use on the fingers as it is on the eyes.
There’s a lot to like about this keyboard, from the superior RGB lighting to the premium finish and excellent programmability of the keys.
So if you want a map at a smaller scale that is fast, accurate, reliable, and amazingly beautiful, this might just be your answer.
