ROCCAT Vulcan II Max gaming keyboard White Titan II linear optical switches

Full-size optical-mechanical keyboard

The ROCCAT Vulcan II Max uses Titan II linear optical switches rated for 100 million keystrokes with a 1.4 mm travel distance. An aluminium top plate adds rigidity, while a wired connection provides 100 percent n-key rollover. Two multi-functional smart keys and a dedicated media control key sit alongside the standard 104-key layout. High-def AIMO RGB lighting and a transparent detachable wrist rest complete the package.

Competitive typists and RGB enthusiasts

The linear optical switches deliver 50 percent faster actuation than tactile alternatives, suiting gamers who prioritise speed and a smooth keystroke feel. On-board memory stores four custom profiles and Easy-Shift[+] duplication extends key functions without software. Buyers who prefer a compact form factor, wireless freedom or a quieter tactile bump should consider other designs.

Windows system with USB port

The keyboard requires a Windows PC and ROCCAT Swarm software for full customisation of lighting, macros and Easy-Shift[+] layers. Verify an available USB port for the wired connection and desk space for the 46 by 23 cm footprint. The unit weighs 1040 g bare or 1300 g with the wrist rest attached and offers 100 percent spill resistance.
