Sharing with my SC Org. This is perfect for my turret keybinds that moved them all under WASDQE, I can color code them in my screenshots. Also it'd be neat if you could make a secondary keyboard of this kind mimic key presses from another keyboard so you could film both as a guide for speed running rather than showing the key presses in a speed run window. I feel that having such a visual aid would help a lot of gamers understand the mechanics behind such things faster.
My last three keyboards have been RGB but I've always just had them set to one colour in low light to show the letters in a dimmed room. During the first half of this video I couldn't believe how garish this looked (IMO) with all that light showing between the keys. So when you said at 4:16 the larger gap between the keys took a while to get used to, I doubt I would ever get used to it. Nice review, but this KB is not for me. It looks as though they forgot to put on a back plate! Thanks for sharing Noob
I have the Roccat Vulcan 122 AIMO and Kone AIMO Remastered in white and love them and would recommend them in a heart beat, I had to replace the mouse as one of the buttons that I use for PTT broke and although out of warranty Roccat swapped it, I deliberately didn't clean anything for over six months to see if the white would go grotty and I can honestly say it did NOT! The white hasn't faded or changed colour and all the RGB led's are still operating flawlessly, the keys on the board are still fine too, the keyboard is a touch over two years old now and the mouse about one, and I suspect I'm going to get many more years out of them.
LOL.. talk about Serendipity. Spilled coffee on my Corsair. Now multiple keys are no longer working.. Need a replacement regardless. Even if my repair attempt works.
Currently loving MX silents, I wanted a mechanical at work but didn’t want to annoy the entire office - as a nice surprise they’re incredibly satisfying to press
Great review, thanks. I've been a long time Roccat user since getting the Tyon mouse (white), which was THE best mouse I've ever used. It still works, but sadly the software for it and that generation of Roccat products, is absolutely awful. I paired the Tyon with an ISKU+ FX keyboard (white), which was/is still working (my son has both of them now). When Roccat updated the software to what is now SWARM, I upgraded my Tyon mouse to the Leadr, which was almost exactly the same design, but with subtle differences, and could be used either wired or wireless. I also upgraded my ISKU+ keyboard to a Ryos MK Pro RGB mechanical. My latest kit comprises the Roccat Vulcan 122 AIMO keyboard, and the Roccat Kone AIMO Remastered mouse, both of which are in white livery, but my sights are firmly set on the new Vulcan II Max keyboard, and the Kone XP Air mouse (both in white ofc) 😎
Damn, now I want to upgrade my Vulcan 120. I also use this to remember the keybinds in Star Citizen, having the layout colored according to the keys function (green movement, yellow interaction, etc.)
Hey thanks for the content I just want to say, I scanned the video looking for a shot of the keyboard that was not at a low angle and there was not one. I could not see the scale/stile of the keyboard from the 1-2 angles you used in the video. I got myself a Mountain Everest-Max keyboard, utterly amazing have not found one that comes close to its features/looks Check into it! Hope u dont mind the feedback!
no it doesn't - it gets yellowish really quickly - had the new one delivered by roccat for free and I was super careful not to have it in direct sunlight - it still got yellowish a bit
the sounds would be good fun for about 10 minuets but then they would soon get on your nerves LOL I went for the red switch type and a short travel too with the corsair K95 . the RACCAT looks good stuff I used to have a keyboard from them years ago. I would like to be able to tune the brightness down though if that is possible , I would also miss the extra keys for macros ( used for email address to save me typing them lol ) But for sure I will consider them the next time I'm looking for a keyboard normally when the paint / plastic has rubbed off so I cant see the Shift, S, w or Left CTRL as my little finger nail rubs them away over time , yes I do cut them short lol
For that money, you can get a keyboard of much better quality and performance on an enthusiastic level. Like one of the wooting keyboards. And the sound of switches just hurt :(. I am a fan of your channel so don't take it bad.
The sound break was very immersive. Thank you for that. 🤣
Pew pew, blip, bling, pow pow Pew
The entirety of the mechanical keyboard community just collectively threw up in rgb
Fact
Yeah, can confirm
I have had the Vulcan 121 and the Kone AIMO mouse for almost 2 years now and still love them.

I super appreciate that.. and yes.. if both keyboards are connected, pushing a key on one, changes the colour on both.. it’s quite a unique feature
I do like Roccat, I was tempted by the Sova keyboard, but then I got a larger desk.

Thanks for the support. It really is crazy to look at, and if a person is going for Pure Quality and Pure Bling, This guy is the guy..
I really tried hard to take your advice but the keyboard just jumped up and sprained all 10 fingers
Ive had the Vulcan TKL pro for afew years and i still love it! One of the sleekest looking keyboards
I've had a Roccat Aimo for about a year now and it's a solid keyboard. Also very pretty. Can't recommend Roccat enough. My new Vulcan II max is otw.
If they would release a keypad simulator to the razor Nordstrom I'd be a major buyer

Interesting tech. Thanks, Noobifier!

Yes, you could call that an omen.
Excellent video thank you very much for your work
I went from MX Red to MX Silent to MX Speed to optical mechanical. The last two are my favourites, especially with o-rings.

Thanks for the review! I'm thinking about getting the Vulcan II Max aswell but didnt find that much information yet.
Its Brand new so I am happy to be able to help

Thanks for that
I fat finger more often than i like in games. so the wider spaces keys are interesting.
There is easily 3mm between the keys
Very cool looking. I hope the wrist rest holds up to UV light
no it doesn't - it gets yellowish really quickly - had the new one delivered by roccat for free and I was super careful not to have it in direct sunlight - it still got yellowish a bit
@@vitall7 I have had mine for over a year and it's not yellow at all. That being said, I am in a darker room with no real sunlight
the sounds would be good fun for about 10 minuets but then they would soon get on your nerves LOL
I went for the red switch type and a short travel too with the corsair K95 . the RACCAT looks good stuff I used to have a keyboard from them years ago.
I would like to be able to tune the brightness down though if that is possible , I would also miss the extra keys for macros ( used for email address to save me typing them lol )
But for sure I will consider them the next time I'm looking for a keyboard normally when the paint / plastic has rubbed off so I cant see the Shift, S, w or Left CTRL as my little finger nail rubs them away over time , yes I do cut them short lol
So, i have a k100 rgb, but it keeps disconnecting and this is what i am looking at for a replacement. anybody have any other suggestions?
I'm finding that the paint of my keys are chipping off my Vulcan. Surely this isn't normal.
Pretty sure they would consider replacing them
When did this happen, and to which version
RGB OVERLOAD DETECTED.
Damn, I couldn't work in rainbow mode at all... ;-)
Very nice video (this comment was typed in a safe environment with a little love for the algorithm in mind).
just bought the white version for 100 bucks :)
The key gaps on this remind me of old finger-punishing typewriters.
How long are those tabs on the wrist rest? I wonder if it could slot into my Mountain Everest keyboard.
They are probably proprietary
How is the keyboard in typing? Do we get to choose the switches before buying? I work 80% and game 20.
You can have red or brown.. sounds as if you would prefer brown.
nice man!
ROCCAT IS AWESOME
Which one is better?
They are the same, but sized differently
The sound delay from key press to audio is horrible for a $200+ item. A bit too much bling for me. I do like the key tech though.
The sound delay IMO is irrelevant. Nobody would buy the keyboard just for that feature…
@@NOOBIFIER1337 agreed but the feature is there and way delayed. Should not even be included if they can't make it work right
is there a way to get the wave to move from left to right on vulcan max 2
I’m pretty sure this is an option.
@@NOOBIFIER1337 not sure im seeing the option in the software
@@misterbriches8230 perhaps we should request it
@@NOOBIFIER1337 yeah im gunna see what we can do. Hopefully im just missing something and ill end up figuring it out
Does anyone make a steelseries merc stealth gaming keyboard or anything like it?
With the panel off to the side? No not anymore. Those are not really popular lately. Like the ZBoard...
You said 60% when the box clearly says 65% 😑
But,,, it said 60 on the box?
For that money, you can get a keyboard of much better quality and performance on an enthusiastic level. Like one of the wooting keyboards. And the sound of switches just hurt :(. I am a fan of your channel so don't take it bad.
It’s fine, not for everyone.
