Overview

The ROCCAT Vulcan II Mini Air is a compact 65% wireless gaming keyboard designed for gamers who value desk space without sacrificing functionality.

Wireless connectivity is handled by ROCCAT's Stellar Wireless technology (2.4GHz) for low-latency gaming, plus Bluetooth for up to three devices. The built-in proximity sensor automatically adjusts lighting when you walk away, extending battery life up to 240 hours. A USB-C port allows for wired use and charging.

Connectivity & Compatibility

The keyboard supports three connection modes: 2.4GHz via the included USB dongle, Bluetooth 5.2 (up to 3 paired devices), and wired USB-C. Switching between devices is seamless using dedicated keys.

Compatibility extends to Windows, macOS, and Chrome OS. However, the full-featured ROCCAT Swarm software for remapping and lighting customization is only available on Windows. The keyboard works out of the box on all platforms without software.
