| Reviewed on a CLX Gaming Custom PC |

I’ve checked out quite a few gaming keyboards in the last 3 years of doing this and during my process, I’ve been absolutely blown away by the sheer quality that companies like Roccat has been producing since before the Pandemic — Roccat to me has been delivering nothing but homeruns in that front and as one would expect, the Vulcan II Mini Air is not only an extremely good keyboard, it’s damn near the best in the market. You can check out my impression of the wired format here – and my impression with the Air model is pretty much exact, with the benefit, of course, it being wireless and just as precise. There’s a reason Dr. Disrespect loves this company.

The Definitive Form

Alright, let’s get into it – I am thrilled to share my experience with the Vulcan II Mini Air, a remarkable keyboard that offers an incredible combination of form factor, functionality, and performance. The Vulcan II Mini Air boasts a sleek and modern design, featuring a durable aluminum frame that exudes elegance. The keycaps are crafted with high-quality materials, providing a comfortable typing experience and maintaining a satisfying tactile response. The build quality is exceptional, ensuring longevity and resilience against daily wear and tear. The form factor strikes the perfect balance between functionality and space-saving design. Its compact 65% size manages to retain all the essential keys without sacrificing usability. This makes it an ideal choice for those seeking a smaller keyboard without compromising on performance or key functionality. Vulcan II Mini Air returns with its EZ Function, boasting an impressive array of 29 smart keys, each accompanied by dedicated LED indicators. As one would expect, this enhances productivity but also adds a touch of flair to your gaming or work setup. The EZ Function allows you to effortlessly customize and assign various commands, macros, and shortcuts, providing a seamless user experience tailored to your unique needs.

At the heart of the Vulcan II Mini Air lies the TITAN II Optical Switch, known for its lightning-fast actuation and precise responsiveness. I was once again eager to put this keyboard to the test during my intense sessions in Destiny 2’s Season of the Deep; when it comes to my long hours of grinding on my CLX Gaming Custom PC, the Vulcan II Mini Air keyboard is an incredible addition to my setup. Its compact size fits perfectly, and the smooth, responsive keys give me precise control in the process. And this brings me to its otherworldly Adaptive Battery system; with approximately 240 hours of battery life, this keyboard ensures long-lasting performance without frequent recharging. What sets it apart is its ability to automatically detect when you step away from the keyboard and adjust the RGB lighting accordingly. This intelligent feature not only saves battery life but also adds a touch of environmental consciousness to the overall user experience.

The Tech in the Technical

Here’s what you should expect when getting your hands on one of these:

To further enhance the Vulcan II Mini Air’s versatility, the accompanying SWARM software offers extensive customization options.
