Our Verdict

Razer Huntsman Mini

ROCCAT Vulcan II Mini Air

The Razer Huntsman Mini and the ROCCAT Vulcan II Mini Air are gaming keyboards with compact form factors. The Razer has a slightly smaller Compact (60%) form factor. It also has better build quality and better overall gaming performance. On the other hand, the ROCCAT has a Compact (65%) form factor, and its design features low-profile keycaps that better showcase the RGB lighting. Both keyboards use optical switches, but the Razer is available with clicky or linear optical switches, while the ROCCAT is only available with linear optical switches.
