Turtle Beach has announced two new products under ROCCAT, its PC gaming peripherals brand.
The first is the Vulcan II Max, a $229.99 mechanical keyboard that Turtle Beach is calling the most beautiful in the world, featuring TITAN II optical switches and the world’s first dual LED smart keys.
The other is the Syn Max Air, a $249.99 wireless PC gaming headset that features 3D audio, “Nanoclear” speakers, and a “Superhuman Hearing” feature that boosts critical in-game sounds.
Both are available for pre-order today at www.roccat.com and participating retailers. They will launch on October 17 and October 11, respectively.
“ROCCAT’s new Max range shows our commitment to creating the very best PC gaming peripherals on the market with zero compromises,” said René Korte, ROCCAT Founder and General Manager of PC Peripherals at Turtle Beach.
“The Vulcan II Max is the evolution of our most popular keyboard ever and quite possibly the most beautiful keyboard ever made, and the Syn Max Air combines the best of both ROCCAT and Turtle Beach’s leading technologies to deliver premium game audio in our sleek design. Both products feature amazing RGB lighting you won’t find anywhere else.”

The most beautiful keyboard ever made has arrived.

The Vulcan II Max features ROCCAT’s exclusive TITAN II Optical-Mechanical Switches which have a smooth mechanical feel, hyper fast actuation, and incredible durability with a 100 million click life cycle – offering a competitive edge game after game. Beyond ridiculously fast actuation speed and performance, ROCCAT’s new TITAN II switches are compatible with many third party cross shaped mount keycaps to further customize their look.
ROCCAT’s Vulcan II Max is also the world’s second gaming keyboard to debut Dual-LED Smart Keys, only preceded by its Vulcan II Mini sibling. The Vulcan II Max features 24 multi-function smart keys with a dedicated second LED to indicate when secondary functions are active. Additionally, PC gamers can use ROCCAT’s Easy-Shift[+] button duplicator technology to unlock a secondary function, which can be programmed into near limitless options. With 4MB of onboard storage, PC gamers can take their RGB lighting show and settings on the road by saving up to four profiles of custom lighting, key reassignment and more, directly on the Vulcan II Max. Additional fan-favorite Vulcan elements also return, such as the anodized aluminum plate for durable structural integrity, and dedicated media controls. The all-new soft, translucent palm rest sets the stage for ROCCAT’s AIMO lighting technology. AIMO produces vibrant RGB lighting displays right out of the box, and syncs with other compatible AIMO-enabled products for an immersive lighting display.
For the ultimate RGB lighting setup, ROCCAT fans can combine the Vulcan II Max keyboard with ROCCAT’s top-rated Kone XP Air wireless mouse, and all-new Syn Max Air wireless head. All three are AIMO-compatible and will put on an alluring RGB lighting experience synchronized across all three peripherals.
