Corsair is the latest company to introduce a 60-percent wired mechanical keyboard of its own, lopping off the arrow keys and other functions for a more compact design. The K65 RGB Mini costs $110 and has a design that is about as subtle as Corsair has...
As I mentioned earlier, the design of this keyboard is subtle, clean, and subdued. Aside from its RGB backlighting, it’s light on logos and other details, which makes sense. Corsair knows it needs to appeal to gamers who prefer a minimalist design,...

Corsair has done a great job of fulfilling the needs of many gamers with the K65 RGB Mini. After having used it now for over a week as my daily keyboard, I can say that I prefer it over many other competitors on the market. While Corsair does get many...
Great Gaming Performance & Decent Typing Two Function Layers & Macro Customization Lighting & Software
Switches Are Loud No Height Adjustment Price vs Build Quality
The Corsair K65 RGB Mini is a great gaming keyboard for those looking to have a compact form factor. It is a joy to game with and surprisingly half decent for typing as well. There are tons of customization options along with two FN layers, which...

To be blunt, we honestly could care less for their reasoning, as all we know is we have another toy that falls right into our wheelhouse while ticking more than just one box on our checklist of what we want in a mechanical keyboard. All we know is that...
Scoring almost identical to the One2 Mini, the Corsair K65 RGB MINI is a solid yet tiny addition to your desktop. It has all of the functionality of its big brothers, all of the iCUE support you could need, and a price we cannot complain about!

The Corsair K65 RGB Mini has incredible key switches and an impressively small profile, but a few strange design decisions hamper the peripheral.
Authentic Cherry MX key switches ; Compact profile ; Beautiful aesthetics
Inconvenient key shortcuts ; No elevation options ; Convoluted hardware profiles
Whether you'll want a mini keyboard — or this mini keyboard in particular — depends largely on which games you'll want to play, and how much tolerance you have for creating and customizing profiles. But if you're willing to put the work in, the K65 RGB...

The new K65 RGB MINI certainly lives up to the “mini” name, as this is Corsair's first 60% design. And if you aren't familiar, the 60% layout is so compact that even arrow keys are omitted – though reclaimed by default using a function key combo.
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...

Today marks the release of Corsair's very first mini (60%) keyboard, the K65 RGB Mini. While full sized mechanical keyboards still dominate the market, consumer interest in compact keyboards has been steadily increasing. I have been using a tenkeyless...
The bottom of the K65 RGB Mini has four rubber stabilizing feet, positioned at the corners. There are no adjustable feet on the K65 RGB Mini, so the stock sweep is what you are left with. There is a slight upward sweep that felt natural to type and...

60% mechanical keyboards like the Corsair K65 Mini have become a niche product of both PC gaming markets for several reasons. Losing things like function keys, number pads and individual media controls delivers a compact peripheral with no frills....
Beautiful yet sturdy design Hyper responsive keystrokes with up to 8,000Hz polling rate Individually lit RGB keys that’s are also customizable
Function key operation could be better No way to change elevation Expensive
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.
