Corsair K65 RGB Mini

Corsair enters the 60% mechanical keyboard market with something that delivers fantastic performance in a compact yet quality design. Be mindful that the price of entry is fairly high and lack of any elevation options.

With the K65 RGB Mini, Corsair successfully shrinks its basic mechanical keyboard design down to 60 percent comfortably, but otherwise, it's a bit bland.

Corsair has one of the best and most beautiful 60% gaming keyboards on the market, but its higher asking price, questionable shortcuts, and steep learning curve mean it won't be for everyone.

The Corsair K65 RGB Mini has incredible key switches and an impressively small profile, but a few strange design decisions hamper this keyboard.

The Corsair K65 RGB Mini is a well-built, great looking compact keyboard that offers a high level of customization capability. Corsair has done an excellent job with their first compact keyboard offering and we can’t recommend it enough.

If you seek the very smallest keyboard footprint and are willing to tolerate the things you're losing to obtain it, the Corsair K65 RGB Mini is everything you would hope a Corsair product to be. Robust, high quality, gorgeous to type on, excellent lighting and NKEY rollover sit alongside the 4000Hz polling - up to 8000Hz with iCUE software - make the K65 RGB Mini an easy winner of our OC3D Gamers Choice award.

If you want something portable, compact, and stylish, 60% is certainly the way to go. While it’s hardly a new concept, Corsair has equipped the K65 RGB Mini to be the best compact gaming keyboard on the market today, and it’ll take some serious innovation before we see anything that can beat it. It’s one of the coolest and most fun gaming keyboards I’ve ever tested.

Corsair’s first 60% form-factor keyboard is an outstanding debut effort, combining solid physical construction and component selection with impressive specs and polished software control via iCUE. Regardless of execution, the 60% form factor is not for everyone, so you’ll need to know what you’re getting into. But if you’ve been eyeing one of these ultra-compact designs this new Corsair option is worth serious consideration. It’s a brilliantly realized product, and it has me considering the switch to 60% just so I can keep using it every day.
