Roccat Vulcan II Mini

The Roccat Vulcan II Mini is a small mechanical keyboard with 65% form factor. It is available since September 2022.

Introduction of new Dual-LED Technology

Roccat’s Vulcan series has become well known for its outstanding RGB lighting. The manufacturer uses switches with transparent housing and slim keycaps, so that lighting effects are bright and vibrant. With the Vulcan II Mini, Roccat takes one step further in improving keyboard illumination and introduces its new dual-LED technology. A dual-LED switch contains two LEDs in one switch and makes it possible to light up a key’s primary legend and secondary legend in different styles. This feature is particularly handy for the Vulcan II Mini, as it is a small 65% keyboard where many features are only available via secondary functions.

Small Gaming Keyboard with Optical Switches

Another feature that distinguishes the Vulcan II Mini from other keyboards is the use of optical switches. The keyboard features linear Titan II Optical switches, those are the successors of the optical switches used in the Vulcan Pro. Moreover, the Vulcan II Mini provides a detachable USB cable, full n-key-rollover, 4 MB onboard-storage for profiles and a polling rate of 1000 Hz.

"While undeniably expensive, the capabilities of the heavily programmable, tiny and aesthetically-pleasing Roccat Vulcan II Mini Air are apparent. It won’t be for everyone, but if vibrant lighting and lightning-fast responsiveness is what you’re after, it’s one to consider."

"The Roccat Vulcan II Mini offers great gaming performance, nifty features that give you different function layers, and some modding capabilities so you can spruce things up even more. Not that it needs help in the looks department, as it’s already oozing with charisma, but it’s still good to know that Roccat is finally throwing its Vulcan hat in the modding ring."

"Roccat’s Vulcan II Mini is a 65 percent keyboard with bright, colorful, and admittedly ostentatious lighting, but at least it doesn’t look like every other ultra-compact keyboard on the market. Oh, and don’t get me started on the software."
