Our Verdict

ROCCAT Vulcan 120 AIMO

ROCCAT Vulcan Pro

The ROCCAT Vulcan Pro is a bit better for gaming than the ROCCAT Vulcan 120 AIMO. Both keyboards are similarly built and have the same features, but the Pro has linear switches that are lighter to press. However, the AIMO has tactile switches that offer better feedback.
