Turtle Beach has announced the Vulcan II XP Full-Size Mechanical RGB Gaming Keyboard, updating its low-profile lineup with hot-swappable switches and SOCD input technology.

Turtle Beach's new Vulcan II XP supports both 3-pin and 5-pin hot-swappable switches. By default, the keyboard comes equipped with Titan HS mechanical switches, and you can select factory pre-lubricated linear switches for smooth keystrokes or tactile switches for light tactile feedback, both rated for 50 million keystrokes. Internal sound-damping foam and pre-lubed stabilisers work alongside the switches to reduce typing noise and board vibration.

Other gaming-oriented features include full N-Key Rollover, anti-ghosting, and ReacTap SOCD, which prioritises the most recent directional input for counter-strafing – just don't use it in Counter-Strike 2, because Valve has banned it. Easy-Shift[+] allows secondary key assignments and macros, while Game Mode locks the Windows key to avoid accidental presses while gaming. A dedicated multi-function media wheel provides volume adjustment, push-to-mute, and navigation. Once you set everything up, you can save up to five setting profiles to the board itself, so you can carry your preferences across different PCs. All software adjustments are handled through Turtle Beach's Swarm II software.

The keyboard is built to last thanks to its brushed aluminium frame, and you get per-key RGB lighting too with native Windows Dynamic Lightning support, so your LEDs can change based on the content running. For connectivity, you get a detachable USB-C cable. In the box, you'll also find a detachable wrist rest.

Pre-orders have already opened up, ahead of full retail availability on October 25th. The Turtle Beach Vulan II XP will cost £119.99/$149.99/€129.99 at launch.

Turtle Beach is about to launch the Command Series, a new line of peripherals focused on deep integration for streamers and power users, characterised by built-in touchscreens, Hall-effect switches, and modular hardware. The lineup is divided into two waves: keyboards and keypads arrive in May 2026, followed by the mouse collection in July 2026.

The flagship of the range is the KB7 TKL Hall-Effect wired keyboard, featuring a massive 4.3-inch Command Touch Display that offers native OBS and Streamlabs integration, allowing creators to manage scenes and monitor system stats without tabbing out of a game. It utilises Titan low-profile Hall-effect switches with adjustable actuation and true 8K polling for a 0.125ms response time. For those needing a full-size layout, the KB5 offers a slightly smaller 2.4-inch display and traditional mechanical switches.

Rounding out the keyboard lineup is the KP7 keypad. This device is particularly versatile, featuring dual modular rails that allow it to dock seamlessly to either side of the KB7 keyboard or function as a standalone macro pad. It shares the same hall-effect technology and 8K polling as the flagship keyboard, complete with an extendable thumb bar and a programmable scroll wheel.

Leading the charge for the mice is the MC7 Wireless mouse, which mirrors the keyboard's philosophy by placing a Command Touch Display directly on the mouse's surface. This allows for hardware-level adjustments to DPI and profiles without opening software. Also, the MC7 features Owl-Eye 30K DPI optical sensor, Titan optical switches, and dual 1000 mAh hot-swappable batteries, providing up to 10 hours of 8K use per charge.

For those preferring a more traditional form factor, the MC5 Wireless mouse and MC3 Wired mouse offer the same Owl-Eye 30K DPI optical sensor and Titan optical switches. The MC5 maintains the 8K polling rate for competitive wireless play, while the MC3 provides a reliable 1K polling rate wired experience. Both mice feature Turtle Beach's Easy-Shift technology, which expands the number of programmable functions to nearly 30.

The keyboard, which is already available to pre-order, will launch on May 21st. The KB7 will retail for £189.99/$199.99/€209.99, the KB5 for £139.99/$149.99/€159.99, and the KP7 for £89.99/$99.99/€109.99. As for the mice, these are also available to pre-order but will be released on July 19th. The MC7 will be priced at £139.99/$159.99/€159.99, the MC5 at £109.99/$119.99/€119.99, and the MC3 at £69.99/$79.99/€79.99.
