Good deal – The Roccat Vulcan TKL Pro White “5 stars” keyboard at 109.99 € (-17%)

The Vulcan TKL Pro is a keyboard gaming top of the range compact and equipped with opto-mechanical switches. Its design and its keys low-profile make it an original model, but no less effective.

The Vulcan TKL Pro is a very good keyboard for gamers looking for excellent responsiveness in a compact format while having advanced customization of backlighting and shortcuts. We salute the originality of the design and the transparent switches – which are likely to have their fans and their detractors. However, we regret a metallic resonance of the chassis which is very present when you hit the keyboard and the absence of PBT plastic on this rather high-end model.

Strong points

• Beautiful finishes.
• Responsiveness of optical switches.
• Wheel to manage the volume.
• Extensive customization of backlighting and keys.
• Braided and detachable cable.

Weak points

• No palm rest.
• ABS plastic.
• Chassis resonance.
• Unprotected switches in the event of an accident (spilled drink, etc.).

NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).

Alternatively

Logitech signs with the G Pro a good TKL mechanical keyboard, robust and offering a very good typing experience thanks to the new GX switches. We are still a bit unsatisfied, because the manufacturer could have taken the opportunity to modernize its keyboard a little (connectors, keys, finishes). What’s more, the 2019 G Pro is only available in the GX Blue version, while the other two Red linear and Brown tactile switches are indeed marketed for the G Pro X.
