Customer Review: Best keyboard I've ever used
Mr. J Sheets
From the manufacturer

|
|
---|---|---|
DEBOUNCED SWITCHThe switch chatters less during actuation thanks to high quality materials and componentry. This allows the firmware to reliably identify key stroke signals 20% faster than competing keyboards. |
LOW MAINTENANCEThe housing of the Titan switches is designed to resist the dust build-up that typically affects keyboards that are used often. Together with the shortened key caps, the Vulcan is easy to clean. |
PURE PERFORMANCEThe Tactile Titan Switch is silent yet with a noticeable bump. It features an actuation point of 1.8mm for a total travel distance of 3.6mm. It is fast and accurate which makes it well-suited to both gaming and typing. Switches are actuated with a force of 45g and users can expect a swift, crisp key stroke that is noticeably responsive. |

TL;DR: seems like a sturdy keyboard, easy to clean, preloaded color schemes should the software fail (in theory), has some neat features so long as the software is working, and German Engineering meme right on the box.
the keys have a somewhat loud click to them with each press, so depending on the user that's either a pro or a con, to me it's neutral, kinda fun when typing in discord to hear the clickity-clack but also makes me feel a little conscious when I see my mic lighting up because it's picking up those clicks. the default profile colors aren't bad either, it's the major reason I picked this keyboard out of all the ones on sale during Prime Day.
So far, the software is working as intended too which is awesome, the patterns one can make are enough for most and it's fun that the software can be programmed to use different color layouts for different games, wanna use 1980s pinks and blues while flying an F-14 Tomcat in War Thunder? Done. and once you close the game, it'll switch back to your desktop color before switching again while Destiny 2 boots up.
I've gone through several keyboards not because the hardware failed me, but because their software failed and left me locked in with rainbow waves or other less-than-ideal patterns that wore thin fast. with this one having 4 preloaded patterns I'm hoping that won't be an issue should the software fail.
also, I like that the note leans into the manufacturer's german heritage by thanking the buyer in german, and even on the box they proudly boast about the German Engineering.
finally, the AIMO rainbow-breathing-button-pressing pattern is quite fun to watch and use.
This keyboard is great for gaming or working. Very responsive and never miss a key press
Performance-wise, I have no complaints. Actuation force to get the keys pushed in is quite low, but there is a tactile bump to let you know the key has been depressed. It's an easy sink into a thunk. I will say that I had to get used to the separated & elevated design of the keycaps as it means if you're not careful your fingers can get a little caught up in gaps. This issue will diminish as you get used to the keyboard and your motor memory kicks in, but it is jarring nonetheless.
One other small complaint - the W key has a little finder divot etched into it (the same divot the F key has etched into it on most keyboards). Presumably this was done to make finding the W key easier for gamers, but in my opinion it was unnecessary and sort of buries itself uncomfortably into the fingertip. Like the space between the keycaps, this is something I eventually got used to and I don't even notice it anymore, but for the future I would appreciate if Roccat got rid of this divot. It's simply not necessary.
Overall, small complaints aside, this is a great keyboard. It is the most beautiful gaming keyboard out there in my opinion and well-engineered in terms of build quality and performance.
I play a lot Rainbow Six Siege so I went there to test it out. I had to adjust a bit because the keys are quite more elevated and spaced out from my previous keyboard which makes it look sleek and also easier to clean.
The Roccat Software is also good, I like it better than iCue.
Overall, I really love this keyboard and have zero regrets. If you want a great mechanical keyboard which looks and feels amazing then I suggest you get this.
Update: 3/21/22
After almost 2 years, it's still going strong. No other keyboards on the market so far have convinced me change it up and I still love how it looks and feels.

Je recommande.
I did just leave the lighting setting to just use standard Intelligent Lighting mode - as all other modes I get too distracted with production work.
But for gaming - its a really nice touch of immersion on the desk :)
Button clicking on the mechanical keys are awesome as well - but the "space bar" is a bit week so watch out for that.
