Our Verdict

ROCCAT Vulcan 120 AIMO

ROCCAT Vulcan TKL

The ROCCAT Vulcan 120 AIMO and the ROCCAT Vulcan TKL are very similar keyboards visually and performance-wise, but they have a few notable differences. The  Vulcan 120 AIMO is a full-size keyboard with an included wrist rest and lower latency. On the other hand, the Vulcan TKL is a TenKeyLess keyboard with a detachable USB-C cable. Both keyboards have dedicated mute buttons and volume wheels and are available with either ROCCAT Titan tactile or linear switches.
