Its exactly as the picture. Keys are quiet and nice to type on. There is a difference between the different vulcan models, just look in the item description and it will say linear or tactile keys. I prefer tactile so I got this one. The magnetic attachable wristguard is comfortably low-profile but it attracts oil marks. Cable is good quality braided. I don't like having the extra software running in my background processes so ive disabled the roccat driver in my startup tab (task manager). I only use the software to change the LED colours and then I kill the process afterwards. You can download it from the official roccat website if you want to change your keyboard settings. This is a great board though im pretty sure the price tag is for elitists… There are cheaper boards that will achieve the same mechanical goals. I got this board coz I like roccat and the floating keycaps. I needed something to replace my ducky limited edition and this is the only other board that does it for me.
