Greater than one weekHonestly, I rather enjoy this keyboard. Ive owned an Huntsman mini and prefer this one over that. I feel as if its more responsive and the low profile is fantastic. Definitely recommend

> 3 dayIts a really good keyboard for gaming its hands down one of the best keyboards you could buy for its price . When I first saw this keyboard I thought the gaps on the keys would effect my gaming but it didnt it just felt like a normal mechanical keyboard.

> 3 dayThis is easily the best keyboard I have ever used in my life. The switches are fast, responsive, and give good haptic feedback when pressed. The sturdy aluminum base and low profile give it a very balanced feel. I also like how the keys are not recessed into the board, so its easy to clean between the keys. I write probably 10,000-15,000 words per week and everything feels super sturdy still. Its also small enough to put in your backpack if you need a board on the go. I havent tried too much gaming with it yet but what I have done feels great. If you want to use the LEDs to their full extend, make sure to download Roccats Swarm software so you can make custom color profiles and patterns. I personally really like the lighting options but you can turn all that stuff off if you dont want to use it Overall, its an excellent keyboard. I wish there were a wireless version but oh well.

> 3 dayThe build quality is great, there is no wobble of the keys, and the typing experience is solid. The issues I have with it are the lack of compatibility of the Swarm software that is required to take advantage of many of this keyboards features. If you dont have a Windows computer you are limited to what functions are pre built into the keyboard and the 3 (yes 3) onboard lighting effects. For the record these effects are gradient on (some orange color gradient,) rainbow flow right, and rainbow flow left. For a keyboard that has awesome clear switch housings, the limited number of on board RGB lighting effects is unforgivable.

> 3 dayKeyboard is loud, lights up without having to run a program, small enough for my hands, only negative thing is there no customization for it. Or at least i haven’t figured it out yet.

> 3 dayHands down the best keyboard I have ever purchased. Typing is fluid and it works straight out of the box without any type of software. I am also using Manjaro Linux as my daily OS and it works great!!

Greater than one weekI decided to get a TKL keyboard for my setup since i already own a G915 tactical and a NK65 V2 aluminum. I wanted to get another mechanical so I decided to pre-order a tkl pro. This keyboard uses their titan optical key switches but they remind me of linear red switches. I have never used such a loud linear switch before. Part of the blame is the key travel seems crazy long but i also think the short keycaps cause my expectations to be similar to the low-profile g915 which it is not! I was able to mitigate the issue by using o-rings/dampeners on the keycaps giving me a nice shorter stroke and less noise if I bottom out, but this did not fix the thunk when the cap moves back upwards so it is still loud and i hope break-in fixes this somewhat. The keycaps are oil magnets btw and to me they feel flimsy, slippery, and cheap (abs). The keycap is relatively small and cuts out part of the normal bottom, but I am not sure if I like this design as they make pudding keycaps to give more lighting if that is what they are trying to do. The switches are mounted directly onto the keyboards top panel which is nice for cleaning. The media controls are also the f9-f12 keys, but you can semi-permanently switch them with fn+del (turns the del key white to show it is switched/active). There is also a dedicated mute button and volume control both of which I do not believe you can re-map. Overall Im not sure why the vulcan tkl pro is so expensive. I wish it came with a magnetic wrist rest for the price like their full-size version, but my wood glorious wrist rest (TKL size) fits perfect. I am not sure if i would purchase a roccat product again as I dont believe there is much value for the money and that is saying a lot as a g915 owner. Edit: i decided to throw on some pbs doubleshot alpherior keys i had laying around, and the difference is huge! no more slippery buttons! Id highly suggest getting new keycaps, all though i kept the original F9-F12 since they are also the media buttons and i also kept INS, HOME, PG-UP, PG-DOWN, DEL, END and the arrow keys and the ctrl key.
