Do you think only Audi is called a lamp factory? Ice Leopard Vulcan IIMax Redefines Light Factory

Ice Leopard's award-winning Vulcan series mechanical keyboards have attracted much attention from the key circle when they debuted in 2020. In 2022, the stunning Vulcan II Max redefines the aesthetic newism and is equipped with faster TITAN II optical switches and The brand-new silicone light-transmitting hand rest combines appearance, performance and playability. It is no pressure to reach the top of the most beautiful mechanical keyboard of the year.

The packaging is family-style, with black as the main color, RGB pictures of the keyboard on the front and an introduction to the switch body, and a feature introduction on the back.

Accessories are simple, just include the keyboard, silicone palm rest and instruction manual.

The keyboard is a wired design with a standard 104-key layout, which continues the design language of the Vulcan series keyboards.

The suspension shaft body is matched with a silver-gray anodized all-aluminum panel, the surface is sandblasted, and the edge is CNC-processed, with a strong texture and a sense of technology.

For the lighting effect, it is more suitable to match with its own Kone pro air wireless mouse.

Comfortable right-handed ergonomic design, faster micro-motion response of Titan Light, Bluetooth, 2.4g wired, and three-mode connection for office work and e-sports.

The non-perforated lightweight only weighs 72g, and the advantages are obvious.

The sensor of the third generation of Night Owl has a maximum of 19000dpi and 1:1 tracking, which is completely sufficient.

Going back to the keyboard, there are multimedia buttons and a DJ mixer-style knob in the upper right corner. The scale is clear and pressed to mute. Now the keyboard without the knob is too embarrassing to talk about the sense of design.

Dual USB interface design, the wire is thicker, and the thicker one with single plug has no problem in use.

Speaking of the light-emitting area, the lower edge of the keyboard has 16 enlarged LED lamp beads, the refresh rate is twice that of the ordinary keyboard, and the headlights are brighter.

The palm rest made of translucent silicone material is wide enough, not only soft and comfortable, but also the lighting effect experience brought by the access to the keyboard is unprecedented, with a larger luminous area and softer lighting effect.

It is still ABS-like skin-coated laser-carved light-transmitting keycaps. It is ultra-thin and compact. The actual contact area is the same as that of ordinary keycaps. There is no difficulty in getting started. Thanks to the thinner shaft body, it is also compatible with more normal keycaps.

The FN combination key uses a double LED lamp bead. When pressed, the main key is dimmed, and the F area and the editing area are highlighted.

Compared with the previous generation, the bottom shell of the keyboard is more rounded, and the large-area oblique wire drawing pattern has improved a certain texture. The performance of the penetrating non-slip feet can be imagined, and the two-stage foot supports provide more ergonomic angles.

The TITAN II linear optical axis used in the axis body has a lifespan of 100 million times, a trigger pressure of 45g, a trigger stroke of 1.4mm, and a total stroke of 3.6mm. It is smooth and can bring a crisper key feedback during the game. And this time the shaft upgrade is compatible with OEM height keycaps.

After installing the swarm driver, you can redefine the buttons, customize the second set of easyshift+ buttons, and adjust the lighting effects. With 4M onboard storage, you can save the settings and call them without driving.

The keyboard supports a refresh rate of 1000hz and all keys have no impact. When experiencing FPS games, it can easily handle operations such as running, jumping, and macro commands.

It is recommended to use the easyshift+ function for the farther key combination, fn+win one-key switching, hold down the caps key + enable the second set of key definitions on the keyboard, which is very convenient. With soft-touch skin-like keycaps, even if you play for a long time, your fingers will get tired easily.

Thanks to the excellent key consistency and moderate key travel, the coding experience is also more comfortable, and the number keys also make it suitable for gaming and office work.

I have always been looking forward to Ice Leopard’s products, and the experience of Vulcan II Max did not disappoint me. I can see the manufacturer’s intentions in terms of design and materials, but there are also some regrets, such as ABS keycaps, non-replaceable switches, and wired cables. Connection, etc., I hope Ice Leopard can increase innovation and bring more interesting and fun products to players.
