Roccat is dedicated to gaming hardware and offers various products like mice, keyboards, headsets, mouse pads and other PC accessories. The Vulcan series is Roccat's flagship series of keyboards. For the series, Roccat developed their own switches called Titan Switch Optical. A beam of light that hits an optical signal when a button is pressed and thereby records an input replaces the conventional physical contact within a button. According to the manufacturer, the response time of keystrokes should be registered 40 times faster and instead of 50 million clicks, up to 100 million clicks should be possible compared to conventional mechanical keyboards.
