The excellent Roccat Vulcan 120 gamer keyboard is on sale before the sales

PC

It is never easy to choose a good keyboard that fulfills all the desired criteria. Especially when you have been used to a model for several years and it is no longer available. Nevertheless, there are some models that are consensus, such as the Roccat Vulcan 120 that we love here in the editorial staff, Olivier, our crazy tester who gave it a score of 18 out of 20 when it was released.

Less aggressive than Razer or Logitech in terms of communication, Roccat is a German company founded in 2006 and acquired in 2019 by the Americans Turtle Beach, well known for their audio headsets for consoles and PCs. Their products are robust and reliable and efficient, the famous “Deutsche Qualität”.

Normally available for € 159.99, the Roccat Vulcan 120 gaming keyboard is currently available on Amazon for € 119.95.

The Vulcan 120 keyboard is therefore a mechanical keyboard for gamers, but not only that, it is also very comfortable on a daily basis for writing long tirades. Its very particular look is not trivial, it benefits from a very special construction that we are starting to see more and more with keys no longer embedded in a hollow frame but fixed on a brushed aluminum plate.

The advantage of such a construction is to avoid having holes everywhere which are nests of dirt. Bread crumbs, cat hair, crisps, when you turn over a keyboard you often find something to eat and drink, and of course, this affects the lifespan of the keys and their responsiveness. Here, no dirt can accumulate since there is no entry point or gaping hole. The keys are also shorter and flatter, since the activation stroke is greatly reduced.

Often when it comes to mechanical keyboard, people make a funny face when they think of the deafening noise the keys make when writing. Here, thanks to the homemade Titan tactile switches, the noise is much less annoying. Nothing to do for example with green or clicky switches that literally break your head. We are not yet at the sweet sound of Cherry switches but it is a good compromise.

Normally available for € 159.99, the Roccat Vulcan 120 gaming keyboard is currently available on Amazon for € 119.95.
