ROCCAT, the award-winning PC peripherals brand from best-selling gaming headset and accessories maker Turtle Beach Corporation (Nasdaq: HEAR), today announced the new Vulcan II Mini Air and Vulcan II Mechanical Gaming Keyboard are now available.
ROCCAT’s first-ever wireless gaming keyboard, the Vulcan II Mini Air packs performance, durability, and functionality into a wireless mini 65% form factor. The compact footprint allows for more desktop space while TITAN II Optical Switches deliver ultra-fast response rates. PC gamers can connect the Mini Air to their favorite devices using ROCCAT’s 2.4GHz Stellar Wireless or via three unique Bluetooth channels. Plus, the Mini Air’s built-in proximity sensors detect when gamers are away from their keyboard and works in conjunction with ROCCAT’s Swarm software to maximize battery life. Gaming publication MP1st.com reviewed the Vulcan II Mini Air and gave it a perfect 10/10 score, and called it, “The perfect mini keyboard that anyone could dream of.”
For full-sized keyboards, there’s a new mechanical masterpiece in town – the Vulcan II Mechanical Gaming Keyboard. Successor to ROCCAT’s multi-award-winning and best-selling Vulcan 120 series keyboards, the Vulcan II is the first in the esteemed family to debut the brand’s TITAN II Mechanical Switches. ROCCAT’s TITAN II Mechanical Switches have an optimized transparent housing for improved RGB lighting, are pre-lubricated for ultra-smooth actuation, and have a durable lifespan up to 80 million keystrokes. Gaming publication COGconnected gave the Vulcan II Mechanical Gaming Keyboard a 94/100 review score, calling it, “An excellent option for PC gamers looking for a reliable yet affordable gaming keyboard.”
Both new Vulcans retain the series’ signature sleek, low-profile ID, premium aluminum top plate, and beautiful AIMO RGB lighting powered by ROCCAT’s Swarm software. They also include key features like ROCCAT’s Easy-Shift[+]™ button duplicator technology, full NKRO (n-key rollover), and anti-ghosting technology to ensure every keystroke and combination of key presses register as intended.
