@@Definitely_Melnyx Nah in my experience their products are much more durable. Had my Roccar Kone XTD for Over 6 years and it went through some abuse but never even had any problems.
I just wanna say that Roccat is an awesome company when it comes to customer service, although they do lack in their software department. They would rather ship you brand new hardware than to fix their software program that bricked your device.
1:44 that is so relatable. I’ve been typing “i am awesome” as a keyboard exercise since i first got typing lessons back in school in like 2014. Times were so different back then lol..
I remember when every kid in Germany wanted to have their products because some of the biggest gaming channels here where sponsored by them. The hype was definitely real but then they slowly disappeared somehow. (of course they still released new products but their UA-cam exposure and therefore popularity was nothing compared to back in the day)
I've been rocking roccat gear for like 10 years lol. the easy shift shit is the coolest thing ever to me. that bein said, i havent heard much about their stuff since the ryos mk fx came out and i called it when i said a per key rgb mechanic version would come out despite those keys not really existing yet lol
I wish they took their kain mouse and added those finger tip buttons like on the sides of the leadr. That would be a perfect mouse, and maybe lighten it up a bit but add some weight options.
An RGB keyboard review where the RGB capabilities (animations, breathing, solid colours, off, brightness levels etc.) weren't even mentioned let alone shown. A pretty important omission considering the thinner keycaps/brighter RGB than normal.
Always nice to see another numpad loyalist! Really would love to see more lefty or detachable numpad keyboards though. IMO lefty keyboards are actually better if you use mouse on the right, and vice versa.
This is a great looking keyboard. It still suffers from one of the biggest flaws of practically every keyboard on the market though (which don't have replaceble keycaps). Why are companies still putting web browser (especially the ancient IE logo), calculator, notepad, etc legends on keys? Media keys make sense. Everything else seems like a relic from long ago.
Best thing is that the RGB auto dims when you don't press any keys for a while; you don't get the distracting lights when watching a video yet as soon as you press any key, you get full brightness and 69% more FPS.* *(82.74% of 9 women surveyed agree).
LOL, I just bought this in November when I built my PC! I've never seen this channel review something I actually own, at least that is, after I buy the item. I've bought stuff because of their reviews, but I've never beaten them to the punch! Anyway, it's an awesome keyboard. My first mechanical ever. Highly recommend it! There is a grey and white one, too, but the black is just... *YES.*
i have a vulcan 120 aimo and its one of the best purchases i have ever made, its lasted me years, looks and feels great. definitely my favorite keyboard for the time being. I'm using it to type this comment right now!
Been swearing by Roccat products for years. Even use them at work. I havent had any other peripherals last as long as Roccats. Cool to see they are getting more reconition these days.
From a 49 yr old gamer, - adapt, adopt, and or learn ergonomic mice an keyboards early as possible. Time flies by, and soon input devices cause so much pain after just a bit of gaming.
Finally, a tech youtuber that says that they prefer a numpad. I swear everybody on youtube this year has been saying that they prefer tenkeyless keyboards and I think none of these folks work a spreadsheet heavy job to recommend that
@@blackbird1665 Really? Never heard anyone mix that up (I'm German too) ... okay, maybe children or people that never had English in school - because of phonetic similarity ... but otherwise? Also ... it actually doesn't even sound like the German "schmal" ... just adding the postalveolar fricative doesn't change the vowel quality.
I feel the same way, but Linus mentioned on WAN show that they really have no other choice. Including extra characters hurts SEO and the video doesn't perform as well. I might be wrong, but they might add the product name in the title later, after the initial release of the video.
Ive owned Roccat mice for 7 years now.. Last mouse never died and got bored of it eventually.. German engineering and really quality stuff. Going to order the TKL(pro) next week. Really liking the brand.
I didn't expect to be interested in the keyboard from the thumbnail, I'm not huge on rainbow RGB, but it actually looks like a keyboard I would really like from a design standpoint if nothing else!
Every roccat product is a masterpiece of german engineering, for their mice they only use high quality omron switches for EVERY button, yes even the DPI buttons, while most other companies use cheap ones for that and the mousewheel buttons. My razer mouse broke shortly after warranty because of this.
I was in my local boutique computer shop the other day, and they had these Roccat Vulcan's and my god the linear feel of those switches..I definately feel finger fatigue on my old Ducky but this thing feels sooooo nice.
I'Ve been a fan of roccat for a very long time, and loved all their products (I play overwatch on a high Open Divison level). They've always given me exactly what I wanted and I can say (after multiple accidental spills) their keyboards are very liquid resistant. I'm very happy to see them on short circuit ^^ Also: The non-pro cable is also braided.
I love this channel, it's the ultimate evolution of the original LTT unboxing content. Perfect balance of premeditated vs off-the-cuff, with all the production value that we've come to expect from LMG. Great work as always.
Fun fact: Roccat is a German brand but they usually name their products with Finnish words like: Roccat Kone "Roccat Machine" Roccat Kova, "Roccat Though, or Hard" Etc
You don't get the fancy App hooking, like Logitech, but you can switch between profiles. You are able to map every key individually, with effects like pulses vor waves. Also the Aimo part between devices, is only the colour shift option you can see in the Video. Other RGB presets are not synced, but present. Software is OK, you can share makros between devices etc, but the updates are only 15% worth doing. Mostly Bugfixes, no New features (never change a running system). There is a chance of crasing wenn updating your Firmware of the devices while updating the driver as well. Happy Owner of a Vulcan 120 for 2 years.
I love Roccat products. I've got 2 Roccat Vulcan 100 Aimo keyboards, 2 Roccat Khan Aimo headsets in white, 1 Roccat Kone Aimo mouse and 1 Roccat Kain 100 mouse. If they made bigger desk mats I'd have some of those too LUL
As Abraham lincoln once said : You can never have enough of RGB

Interesting videos bro
Oh the cases I see at my computer store are just fkin red green and blue I swear

I agree
rgb squad unite
numb pads are nice, looks so easy to clean due to the caps and the cap change does really help with the rgb
Had the model before this. Felt amazing at first but the keycaps get worn REALLY easy and the switches stop functioning due to dust etc really easy.

If you’re getting shoulder pain from a a numpad you’re weak af. There’s no excuse for doing zero exercise.

Tip for switch testing: Make a jig to measure force over length pressed in. Should only need a linear encoder and a pressure sensor
