Turtle Beach Levels Up Your Setup: Meet the Vulcan II TKL Keyboard and Burst II Pro 8K Wireless Mouse

For decades, Turtle Beach has been a name synonymous with high-quality audio, crafting headsets that have given gamers the competitive edge through immersive sound. Now, the company is making a powerful play to dominate the rest of your desktop battlefield. In a significant expansion of their peripheral lineup, Turtle Beach has officially debuted two new flagship devices designed to satisfy even the most discerning competitive gamers: the Vulcan II TKL mechanical keyboard and the Burst II Pro 8KHz wireless gaming mouse.

This one-two punch of premium hardware signals Turtle Beach's deep commitment to becoming a full-spectrum gaming brand, moving beyond audio to offer a complete ecosystem of precision-engineered gear.

The Vulcan II TKL: A Compact Powerhouse for the Purist

The new Vulcan II TKL takes the foundation of its well-received predecessor and refines it into a more focused, space-saving form factor. "TKL," or TenKeyLess, means the number pad has been removed, freeing up valuable real estate for larger mouse movements and promoting a more ergonomic posture during intense gaming sessions. But the changes are far more than just cosmetic.

The star of the show is its fully hot-swappable design. This feature, once reserved for custom keyboard enthusiasts, is a game-changer. It allows users to effortlessly pull out one set of switches and plug in another without any soldering required. Whether you prefer the tactile bump of Brown switches, the linear smoothness of Reds, or the audible click of Blues, the Vulcan II TKL empowers you to customize the feel and sound of your keyboard on the fly. This future-proofs your investment and makes it incredibly easy to experiment with different switch types or replace a worn-out switch years down the line.

Built with a durable aluminum frame and featuring double-shot injection molded keycaps that will never fade, the keyboard is designed for longevity. It also boasts a dedicated multimedia control wheel and a stunning RGB lighting system that can be customized through Turtle Beach’s powerful software.

For anyone looking to elevate their typing and gaming experience with a customizable, compact, and robust mechanical keyboard, the Vulcan II TKL is now available and ready to ship.

The Burst II Pro: Cutting the Cord Without Cutting Performance

On the other side of the desk, the Burst II Pro wireless gaming mouse is poised to challenge the established giants in the high-performance wireless arena. Its headline feature is a staggering 8,000Hz hyper-polling rate. While standard mice operate at 1000Hz (reporting their position to the PC every millisecond), the Burst II Pro reports its position every 0.125 milliseconds. This results in drastically reduced input latency and motion blur, making cursor movement incredibly precise and instantaneous—a critical advantage in fast-paced shooters and competitive titles.

But Turtle Beach hasn’t just focused on raw speed. The Burst II Pro utilizes a state-of-the-art PixArt PAW 3395 sensor, widely considered the gold standard for accuracy and reliability, ensuring flawless tracking at speeds up to 650 IPS and a dizzying 50G of acceleration. The mouse is also incredibly lightweight, weighing in at just 74 grams, which helps reduce fatigue during long gaming marathons.

It features a dual wireless system, offering a lag-free 2.4GHz connection via a discreet USB-C dongle or energy-efficient Bluetooth 5.3 for connectivity with other devices. With a battery life of up to 42 hours and quick-charging that provides a full day's use in just 10 minutes, the Burst II Pro is built for both marathon sessions and quick, competitive matches.

A New Chapter for Turtle Beach

Together, these two products represent a significant statement of intent from Turtle Beach. They are not merely iterating on old designs; they are pushing the envelope with pro-level features like hot-swappability and 8K polling that are highly sought after by the core gaming community.

"The Vulcan II TKL and Burst II Pro are the result of listening directly to competitive gamers who demand performance, customization, and reliability," said a Turtle Beach representative. "We're taking everything we've learned from designing award-winning audio products and applying that same level of innovation and quality to our keyboards and mice."

For gamers looking to build a clean, high-performance setup from a trusted brand, this new duo offers a compelling package. The Vulcan II TKL provides the tactile, customizable foundation, while the Burst II Pro delivers the lightning-fast, wireless precision needed to secure the win.

Both the Vulcan II TKL keyboard and the Burst II Pro mouse are available for purchase directly through Turtle Beach and other major retailers.
