Even from the box I could tell this keyboard was going to be bright.
It comes packaged with a detachable USB-C cable and a 2.4Ghz dongle.
These keys include Page Up, Page Down, Delete, and other useful functions.
The layout is reasonably standard and easy to get used to.
The Swarm app is also very useful for creating macros, adjusting configs, and customizing profiles.
I can also assign different profiles for different games or applications, and switch between them easily.
It can last up to 240 hours with RGB off, or up to 31 hours with RGB on.
So if you’re going to get snacks or for a comfort break, the keyboard knows.

Maybe a tad creepy, but I’m impressed with the tech here.
They are also very durable and tested to 150 million keystrokes.
The keycaps are made of high-quality plastic and have a satisfying feel and sound.

Another niggle was the software.
Something that would correct itself after restarting the app, but annoying none the less.
Roccat Swarm is a free software that lets you customize and manage all your Roccat devices in one place.

An option for afull-sizekeyboard is thebeautiful Alienware Tri-Mode, which my colleague Zachary recently reviewed.
However, it costs $229.99, which is much higher than the Vulcan Mini 2 Airs price tag.
If you prefer a smaller keyboard, you might want to check out theKeychron Q1 Pro.
It offers a more minimalist solution for those who want a mechanical, compact, and wireless keyboard.
