RoccatVulcan II Max – Optical-Mechanical PC Gaming Keyboard, with Customizable RGB Illuminated Keys and Palm Rest, Titan II Smooth Linear Switches, Aluminum Plate, 100 M Keystroke Durability - Black

Fantastic keyboard. Upgraded from my Vulcan 100. A shame ROCCAT sold out, but the stuff cheap before it's rebranded!

Couldn't be happier. I got it today. I was a bit suspicious about this keyboard. I saw Roccat keyboard at Best Buy and got stunned by it. I thought I could give it a shot. Later I did some research and decided to go with the best one. I do not regret it at all. All best material and typing experience. Only downside is that it might be a bit too loud. But I definitely love the lights. The FADE and The SNAKE modes are my favorites. So elegant and interesting. It was my first time to use something so dazzling but absolutely not garish. Love it.

I have been a roccat keyboard user for years now, I started with the vulcan pro and I decided this would be the perfect upgrade, indeed it was. Nothing really stands out from this keyboard performance wise aside from the extra lighting effects and what I believe to be a smoother typing experience with the linear switches compared to the original vulcan's linear switches. The keycaps themselves are made of the same materials as the original so these keycaps will be prone to shining and paint-wear as time goes on, keep this in mind and be prepared to order replacement keys (or opt to swap the keycaps out entirely)

Fantastic keyboard, Sturdy built, very little wobble.I got mine with Cherry MX Brown switches, which provide a nice tactile bump which has a positive impact on typing accuracy. The lighting on this is next to none, I don't think there's any consumer keyboard that does lighting quite as brightly and as vividly as the Roccat Vulcan II Max does.I reached out to Roccat about replacement silicone wrist rests, they told me they do *not* offer those and that the only way to get a new wrist rest is to RMA the keyboard during the warranty period. Since this is one absolutely critical part that is not user servicable, that will cost two points in the value-for-money segment. Such replacement parts should be offered by Roccat. My Roccat Ryos MK PRO for contrast, lasted me a decade because I could fix everything about it myself.

I used to use a hyper x keyboard until the space key gave away with sensitive clicks. I ordered this keyboard, and while it is nice, I started having this burning issues in my left hand. Went to the doctor and it was carpal tunnel. Never had a problem with a keyboard until now. So take that for what its worth. Makes sense at least to me, the keyboard feels small for some reason in width.Another thing, I do not care for the rgb on this one. I can't see the FN toggles at all when its on. I tried finding a way to turn on its backlights like all the other keys with no luck. Oh well.
