The Turtle Beach Vulcan II TKL keyboard has a low-profile construction and swappable mechanical switches. As a potential partner, the lightweight Burst II Pro wireless gaming mouse can connect using an 8K adapter. The new keyboard and mouse options will ship in various regions on October 13th.

Continuing the transition away from the Roccat brand, Turtle Beach has released a new keyboard and mouse pair. The Vulcan II TKL is a wired hot-swappable keyboard that uses Titan HS mechanical switches. Meanwhile, the Burst II Pro arrives as an esports-focused wireless gaming mouse that boasts an 8K polling rate.

The Vulcan II TKL keyboard will retail for $119.99/£89.99/€99.99, while the Burst II Pro has an MSRP of $139.99/£119.99/€129.99. Both accessories are up for pre-order now, with a release date of October 13, 2025.

Corded but compact Vulcan II TKL keyboard

In the low-profile tradition of past Roccat Vulcan keyboards, the latest revision also has a slim appearance. Still, the thin keycaps rise significantly off its surface, allowing the per-key RGB lighting to escape. The TKL layout and corded connectivity make it less portable than more compact wireless keyboards. However, there is enough free space for navigation keys and a volume knob.

The Vulcan II TKL ships with pre-lubed mechanical switches that prioritize quiet and reduced-effort typing. Owners of the wireless keyboard can also experiment with various three or five-pin alternatives. Turtle Beach has already installed sound-dampening material to minimize any distracting case pinging.

The new Burst II Pro esports gaming mouse

As a lightweight wireless gaming mouse intended for competitive gaming, the Burst II Pro checks in at 57 grams. Its symmetrical shape should provide enough support for average-size palms, but excels with claw grips. Turtle Beach also bundles a variety of grip tapes and skates to customize the feel of the black or white mouse.

A streamlined button scheme is ordinary except for a more accessible side-mounted DPI toggle. The peripheral employs Titan optical switches for added responsiveness and durability.

The fact that the Burst II Pro ships with a wireless 8K dongle may entice some buyers. That promises lower-latency movements, tracked by a 30K DPI sensor. Gamers can expect up to 150 hours of battery life, with the higher polling rate reducing that estimate to 40 hours.
