Should you buy it?
You should buy if
You want a full-sized gaming keyboard that doesn’t hide its RGB flair
You shouldn't buy if
In an ultra-competitive gaming keyboard market, the Roccat Vulcan II stands out with its uncompromised approach to RGB lighting. Going for that pastel look? This one shines.
You’re looking to score the big bucks in a competition
The Roccat Vulcan II feels fantastic to use, but its tall, smooth, and slippery keys carry too much risk of accidental actuation. If you’re hyper-competitive, it creates a conundrum: adapt or face an avoidable defeat.
Final Thoughts
The Roccat Vulcan II is far from perfect. The included wrist rest is smooth, hard, and doesn’t use a safe magnetic clasp like the Corsair K70 Core. It’s just hard not to fall for the unique RGB flair. It’s also lightning fast where it counts – just consider opting for the safer Brown switches if you’re big on Valorant or CSGO. Still, at £150, the Roccat Vulcan II isn’t the best deal right now. If lighting isn’t a big deal for you, save yourself £30 and grab the classic Logitech G613 instead, or check out the best gaming keyboards around if there’s more wiggle room in your budget.
