Turtle Beach Reveals Gamescom 2026 Gear for PC and Switch 2

Turtle Beach is bringing a full wave of new gaming gear to Gamescom 2026 in Cologne from August 26 to August 30, with launches rolling out from August through October for PC and Nintendo Switch 2. The lineup includes the Vulcan II XP mechanical keyboard, three Command Series mice, Fortnite themed Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded controllers and new Fortnite and Minecraft accessories for Switch 2.

The announcement covers the next two months of releases from the accessory maker, with pricing and pre orders already live for most items. If you are planning a setup upgrade or hunting for licensed Switch 2 gear for fall, this is the drop to watch.

Vulcan II XP Brings the Vulcan Design to a Full Size Keyboard

The Vulcan II XP is a full size wired mechanical RGB gaming keyboard built on the award winning low profile Vulcan design. It keeps the brushed aluminum top plate and floating key architecture that defined the original line, now tuned for a standard height profile that suits players who want a traditional key feel with premium build quality.

Under the caps are factory pre lubed TITAN HS mechanical switches in Red Linear or Brown Tactile, both rated to 50 million keystrokes. The switches use an optimized five pin housing for stable travel and consistent actuation, and the board supports hot swap for both three pin and five pin switches. That means you can swap or fine tune the feel in seconds without soldering. A keycap and switch puller plus three spare TITAN HS switches are included in the box.

Turtle Beach also focused on acoustics and stability. Factory pre lubed stabilizers and integrated sound dampening foam reduce noise and vibration while keeping feedback crisp. For competitive play the board offers Full N Key Rollover, anti ghosting, ReacTap SOCD, EASY SHIFT plus, Game Mode and five onboard profiles via Swarm II software. Per key AIMO RGB with Windows Dynamic Lighting support adds full lighting control, and a multi function media wheel plus a detachable left side USB C cable round out the hardware.

The Vulcan II XP is available to pre order now and launches October 25, 2026. Suggested pricing is 149.99 dollars, 129.99 euros and 119.99 pounds, with Linear and Tactile editions sold separately.

Command Series Mice Offer Tri Mode Wireless and Wired Options

The new Command Series introduces three mice built around the Owl Eye 30K DPI sensor and TITAN Optical Switches. Each model targets a different price and performance tier but shares a focus on high polling, low latency and programmable control.

At the top is the MC7 Wireless, the flagship of the line. It features a Command Touch Display for on device adjustments, true 8K polling with 0.125 ms latency, tri mode connectivity and dual hot swappable batteries with a charging dock. It is built for players who want desktop class customization without giving up wireless freedom.

The MC5 Wireless sits in the middle with true 8K wireless performance, the same Owl Eye 30K sensor and TITAN Optical Switches, up to 29 programmable functions and up to 35 hours of play at 8K polling. It keeps the competitive spec sheet while trimming the dock and display for a lighter setup.

The MC3 Wired is the straightforward wired option. It offers zero latency USB performance, up to 29 programmable inputs, a 4D scroll wheel, Owl Eye 30K DPI sensor with 1K polling, RGB lighting and onboard profiles. Pre orders for the Command Series are live now. The MC3 and MC7 launch August 30, 2026, while the MC5 follows September 20, 2026. For players comparing wireless versus wired trade offs, our coverage of recent peripheral launches shows how polling and battery life now define the mid range, much like the approach seen in the HyperX Cloud Alpha Air and Pulsefire Haste 3 Pro announcement.

Fortnite x Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded Adds Drift Style With Hall Effect

The Fortnite collaboration centers on the Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded, now dressed in Fortnite Drift style. The line covers PlayStation, Xbox and PC editions, each fitted with drift free Hall Effect modules and a system of interchangeable components that lets you reshape the layout for fighting games, shooters or personal preference.

PlayStation and Xbox versions include a six button Fightpad module, mappable back buttons, audio controls and 5 Stop Hall Effect Clutch Triggers with Hair Trigger mode. The PC edition adds a precision trackpad and keyboard and mouse emulation, while all three support wired and wireless play with up to 30 feet or 9 meters of range.

This is a natural extension of the Victrix focus on competitive hardware, and it taps directly into the Fortnite audience that lives between console and PC. Pre orders are open now ahead of an October 8, 2026 launch. Pricing is 189.99 dollars, 159.99 pounds and 179.99 euros for PC, and 209.99 dollars, 179.99 pounds and 199.99 euros for PlayStation and Xbox.

Fortnite and Minecraft Gear Arrives for Nintendo Switch 2

Switch 2 gets dedicated licensed gear starting this fall. For Fortnite fans, the Kevin the Cube Rematch Wireless RGB Gaming Controller is officially licensed by Epic and Nintendo. It packs four RGB modes, motion controls, TMR thumbsticks, dual mappable back buttons, up to 30 feet of wireless range and up to 40 hours of battery life with RGB turned off. It launches October 8, 2026 for 69.99 dollars, 54.99 pounds and 64.99 euros.

Minecraft Dungeons II leads the Minecraft lineup. The Rematch Wireless Gaming Controller features a lenticular Steve to Creeper design that shifts as you move the pad, plus motion controls, TMR thumbsticks, dual mappable back buttons and up to 40 hours of battery life at 69.99 dollars, 54.99 pounds and 64.99 euros. The reveal pairs well with the recent Minecraft Dungeons II trailer that revealed The Sift dimension, which sets the tone for the sequel the hardware is tied to.

Audio and carry options fill out the set. The Airlite Fit Minecraft Dungeons II Wired Gaming Headset uses 40 mm speakers, over ear Jersey knit cushions and a flip to mute mic for 29.99 dollars, 19.99 pounds and 24.99 euros. Two PlayTrek Travel Cases are also coming at the same price, one themed to Minecraft Dungeons II and one to Minecraft Great Outdoors. Both launch with the headset on September 26, 2026.

For players weighing mobile versus console style control, the ergonomics conversation echoes what we saw in the ELO Vagabond Mobile Controller review, where grip and button placement made the difference for long sessions.

What This Means for Fall 2026 Setups

Turtle Beach is timing the rollout to cover the heart of the fall season, from the show floor in Cologne to retail in October. The through line is choice. The Vulcan II XP gives keyboard buyers a full size low profile option with hot swap flexibility. The Command mice cover the spectrum from flagship display driven control to simple wired reliability. The Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded keeps the modular promise that competitive players expect, now with Fortnite presentation and Hall Effect durability. On Switch 2, the licensed controllers and headset let Fortnite and Minecraft fans match their hardware to the games they already play most.

All items are positioned as pre order now with staggered street dates, so availability will depend on region and retailer. Turtle Beach will have the full range on show at Gamescom 2026 in Cologne from August 26 to 30, with details and purchase options at the official site. The staggered timing from late August through late October also gives players a chance to plan upgrades around major fall releases rather than buying everything at once.
