IT’S ALWAYS GOOD when large brands release keyboards that used to be reserved for the enthusiast market. Sixty-percent keyboards have become more popular in recent years, which has brought the price down, because there’s more competition. The latest 60-percent board is the K65 RGB Mini, which has all the functionality of a full-sized keyboard, but is far more compact.
The difference is that you must press FN to use the keys that are usually found on larger boards. For example, you press FN-5 for F5, and FN-U, H, J, or K for the arrow keys. If you use arrow keys a lot, consider getting a 65-percent keyboard.
Most of the keyboard works as expected, and during the time we used it, we enjoyed it for the most part. The RGB lighting is always a hit, the double-shot PBT keycaps are nice, and the space bar looks great, especially with the lighting. The layout is also intuitive. Corsair does a lot right, and we don’t mean to brush over the positive aspects of the keyboard, but there is an elephant in the room: It’s a rather noisy elephant.
