FAQs

What type of switches does the Roccat Vulcan TKL Pro use?

It uses Roccat's proprietary Titan Switch Optical, which provides a mechanical feel with light-speed actuation and enhanced durability.

Is the keyboard compatible with macOS or Linux?

While the keyboard may function as a basic input device on macOS and Linux, the full customization features and software (ROCCAT Swarm) are primarily designed for Windows.

How do I clean the keyboard?

Use a dry, lint-free cloth for general cleaning. For tougher spots, use a slightly damp cloth. Always ensure the keyboard is unplugged before cleaning and avoid excessive moisture.

What is the benefit of the tenkeyless (TKL) design?

The TKL design removes the number pad, making the keyboard more compact. This saves desk space and allows for greater freedom of movement with your mouse, which is beneficial for gaming.

Can I change the keycaps?

The keycaps are designed for the low-profile nature of the Vulcan series. While not officially designed for third-party replacements, some users may find compatible low-profile keycaps, but this is not guaranteed and may affect warranty.

How long is the braided USB-C cable?

The cable length is typically around 1.8 meters (approximately 5.9 feet), providing ample reach for most desk setups.

What does AIMO mean?

AIMO is Roccat's intelligent lighting engine. It allows for customizable RGB lighting effects that can synchronize with other AIMO-compatible devices for a unified aesthetic across your setup.

Troubleshooting

Keyboard not detected by computer

Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the keyboard and the computer. Try a different USB port. If using a USB hub, connect directly to the computer. Restart your computer.

RGB lighting not working or incorrect colors

Verify the keyboard is powered on. Check cable connections. Download and install/update ROCCAT Swarm software to manage lighting settings. Ensure AIMO is configured correctly if syncing with other devices.

Keys are unresponsive or acting erratically

Check for debris under the keycaps. Ensure the keyboard is running the latest firmware via ROCCAT Swarm. Try unplugging and replugging the keyboard. If the issue persists, contact Roccat support.

ROCCAT Swarm software not recognizing the keyboard

Make sure the keyboard is connected and powered on. Close and relaunch ROCCAT Swarm. Reinstall ROCCAT Swarm software. Ensure you have the latest version of Swarm and the keyboard's firmware.
