Roccat Vulcan II Max (Full-Size/Titan II Optical-Mechanical/Wired USB/Per-Key RGB/Aluminum Top Plate) Review
Roccat Vulcan II Max full-size optical-mechanical gaming keyboard, Titan II switches, floating low-profile keycap design, AIMO RGB, aluminum top plate.
The Vulcan II Max keeps Roccat's signature floating keycap look, short caps sitting exposed atop the switches to show off per-key lighting, while upgrading to Titan II optical-mechanical switches for faster actuation than the brand's earlier Titan switches. An anodized aluminum top plate and Roccat's AIMO adaptive lighting system round out a distinctive full-size board.
Comparison to Alternatives
Against the Corsair K100 RGB, the Vulcan II Max offers a similarly premium full-size feature set but distinguishes itself with Roccat's floating keycap aesthetic, versus K100's more conventional double-shot PBT caps. Compared with the SteelSeries Apex 7, the Vulcan II Max uses optical-mechanical switches for faster actuation instead of Apex 7's OLED smart display as its signature feature.
