Roccat Vulcan II Mini
Roccat’s Vulcan II Mini is a 65 percent keyboard with bright, colorful, and admittedly ostentatious lighting, but at least it doesn’t look like every other ultra-compact keyboard on the market. Oh, and don’t get me started on the software.

The Roccat Vulcan II Mini offers great gaming performance, nifty features that give you different function layers, and some modding capabilities so you can spruce things up even more. Not that it needs help in the looks department, as it’s already oozing with charisma, but it’s still good to know that Roccat is finally throwing its Vulcan hat in the modding ring.
