ROCCAT Vulcan 121 and 122 PC Gaming Keyboards ROCCAT's original Vulcan 120 AIMO PC gaming keyboard introduced their proprietary TitanSwitch Tactile mechanical switch and has become one of the top three best-selling gaming keyboards in Germany, as well as a best-selling product in its price tier. The Vulcan's design was also recognized by winning the 2019 iF Design Award for its product category. At Gamescom 2019 ROCCAT will be showing off two variants, including the Ash Black Vulcan 121 AIMO with its all-new Titan Switch Speed. Following the success of the Titan Switch Tactile introduced with the original Vulcan keyboard, ROCCAT now offers a new, even faster option. Built for speed, the Titan Switch Speed boasts a shortened 1.4mm actuation point (2.8mm travel distance) which helps it react over 30% faster than standard switches, pushing the boundaries of speed without sacrificing precision. The switches are actuated with a hefty 45g of force to minimize accidental key presses, making the keyboard perfect for gaming.
