I love mechanical keyboards. I especially love smaller ones, because letâs be honest, who uses all those keys on the keyboard anyway, right? This Corsair K70 PRO Mini wireless mechanical keyboard will be the smallest keyboard Iâve ever reviewed and Iâve got a few things to say about it, so letâs get on with the review! In order to keep this review organized, Iâm just going to break it down into a few categories that I feel are relevant when reviewing keyboards. Build Quality/Aesthetics: This keyboard is exceptionally solid. Itâs built with what seems like a combination of plastics and metal/aluminum. There is no flex when typing and itâs heavy, but not overly so. The keys caps are PBT double-shot and the whole keyboard just has a quality feel to it. The lighting is ... MoreI love mechanical keyboards. I especially love smaller ones, because letâs be honest, who uses all those keys on the keyboard anyway, right? This Corsair K70 PRO Mini wireless mechanical keyboard will be the smallest keyboard Iâve ever reviewed and Iâve got a few things to say about it, so letâs get on with the review! In order to keep this review organized, Iâm just going to break it down into a few categories that I feel are relevant when reviewing keyboards. Build Quality/Aesthetics: This keyboard is exceptionally solid. Itâs built with what seems like a combination of plastics and metal/aluminum. There is no flex when typing and itâs heavy, but not overly so. The keys caps are PBT double-shot and the whole keyboard just has a quality feel to it. The lighting is fantastic on this keyboard. Not only can you layer lighting effects using the iCUE software, but the keyboard has a light ring around the bottom as well as the lighting underneath the keys. For example, the space bar alone has 4 zones that are customizable and thatâs pretty impressive for a keyboard of this size. If you really want to get into some custom lighting, the iCUE software will let you do that. Iâm a pretty basic guy, so I picked the watercolor effect and moved on. The one minor complaint about the lighting and one that will probably be fixed with future firmware, is the fact that the âEnterâ key is used as a battery indicator. The lighting effects work as intended when the keyboard is being used wirelessly, but when you are using it wired, the enter key will always be lit green. This can completely throw off the vibe of your lighting effect, but it seems like a minor bug that will probably be addressed eventually. Ease of Use: You can use the K70 PRO Mini both wireless and wired. If you use the keyboard wired, you can actually adjust the polling rate to some ridiculous settings for extreme gaming, but youâre locked to 1,000hz when using the keyboard wireless. I played with the polling rates and noticed no real difference between them, but Iâm also old and slow. Setting up the keyboard is easy. Plug in the dongle and load up the iCUE software if you want to customize your keys and lighting. If youâd rather have it plugged in, you can use the supplied USB-A to USB-C cable and plug it directly into your computer. I noticed no lag when using the keyboard wirelessly and if I were to do a blind test, I wouldnât be able to tell the difference. The iCUE software is just okay. Itâs a bit bloated and can act a little funky at times, like your uncle after a few drinks at dinner,, but overall the software works okay. Iâm able to control my HS80 wireless headset and my K70 from this single piece of software and that makes me pretty happy. Some of the settings and toggles are a bit confusing or only offer vague explanations as to what they do, but Iâm sure thatâll improve over time as well. Overall, iCUE isnât the worst piece of software, but it could definitely be better. Feel and Useability: Letâs talk about the keys and switches. This particular K70 is equipped with Cherry MX Speed Silver switches. I had no idea that Cherry MX even made a speed silver switch, but I also thought driving with the light on inside my car was illegal for almost 20 years. This speed silver switch reminds me a lot of red switches, but are supposed to be even faster with less travel. I like the feel of the switches. They are not tactile, but instead are linear and easily depressed, meaning not a whole lot of force is required to push them. This is supposed to be awesome for gaming, but again Iâm getting a little old so Iâm not sure it helped me much in Counter-Strike. Oh and these switches are completely swappable, in case you want to keep the keyboard and get something more clicky or quieter later down the line. Overall, I really like the profile of these keys. While not the lowest profile keys Iâve used, they are nice and still have a good amount of travel to them. They are comfortable for both gaming and everyday typing, although Iâd definitely go with a different keyboard if I wanted to use this for any sort of productivity task. I say this because itâs just missing a bunch of keys and youâre going to have to rely on not only the function key, but the function 2 key. Thatâs right, this little guy has 2 function keys to toggle all the keys that are supposed to be there normally. Okay, so let me break this down for you. You want to press an arrow key like youâre used to pressing, too bad, itâs not there. You want to page-up or page-down? Too bad, that key isnât there either. Oh you want to delete something? Nope, sorry buddy, but there is a backspace key! Most of these keys are accessible through a combination of pressing one of the function keys and then the appropriate key, but it definitely makes even everyday computing a bit tiring. The actual layout of the keyboard is great. All the keys are where they are supposed to be, even if the gap between keys is a little tighter than Iâm used to. Just be warned that this keyboard might take a little getting used to depending on your habit, but this is highly subjective. Overall Impression: I like the Corsair K70 PRO Mini keyboard, but it might take a little bit more time for me to love it because of how tiny it is. Its diminutive size is both its greatest strength and weakness, but youâll know this going into this purchase and there werenât any real surprises throughout my time with the keyboard. If youâre going to use this keyboard only for gaming, then I donât see an issue with the missing keys or its size, but if youâre like me and even occasionally use the same computer to shop online, do taxes or send emails to relatives youâd rather not talk to, then you might want something a little bigger that will have those additional keys that youâve grown used to.

Pros: - Excellent build quality - Wireless (via USB adapter or Bluetooth) - Per-key RGB backlighting - 360° RGB LightEdge - Swappable keyswitches - Superb responsiveness (Sub-1ms latency) - Good battery life Cons: - None ----- DETAILS ----- Unboxing & Setup: The Corsair K70 Pro Mini Wireless comes in a nice-looking and colorful box that has a matte finish and textured accents. Like the keyboard itself, itâs compact. When you open the box, the K70 Pro Mini Wireless is revealed in a plastic bag. I was expecting more to protect this premium keyboard, but there wasnât any damage in transit. Underneath the keyboard, youâll find a braided USB-C to USB-A cable, an alternative radiant spacebar, a Corsair logo ESC key, keyswitch and keycap pullers, and user documentation. The USB âSlipstreamâ wireless adapter is stored in a slot on the keyboard. Before first use, Corsair advises fully charging the keyboard. The Enter key acts as the charging indicator, which will be pulsing green when charging and change to solid green when fully charged. Iâm using the K70 Pro Mini Wireless with a PC, but itâs also compatible with Mac, Xbox, and PlayStation. Connecting the keyboard via its wireless adapter couldnât be simpler. Just plug the adapter into an available USB Type-A port, slide the power switch on, and then it will connect automatically. Connecting via Bluetooth is also simple, with the only difference being that you must initiate pairing mode via keyboard shortcuts (explained in Corsairâs quick start guide). Overall, unboxing and setup left a good first impression. Design & Features: The K70 Pro Mini Wireless looks and feels like a top-tier keyboard. With its aluminum frame, thin bezel, braided USB cable, and matte black double-shot PBT keycaps, Corsair nailed the look. At about 11.6 inches wide and 1.58 inches tall, its compact design saves desk space. I appreciate the attention to detail, which is especially apparent in the dedicated slot for the USB dongle and the braided cable. The keyboard is slightly inclined, but there are two adjustable feet on either side that can increase the incline. Since thereâs only one level of adjustment, you donât have much flexibility, but typing and gaming are a comfortable experience nonetheless. Every keyâs RGB backlighting can be customized, as well as the light that goes around the entire edge of the keyboard, which Corsair calls the â360° RGB LightEdgeâ. The LightEdge is one design aspect that sets the K70 Pro Mini Wireless apart from other keyboards. In addition, if you opt for the included radiant spacebar, its shine-through pattern of tiny triangles is a unique and welcome change to regular spacebars. With its hot-swappable keyswitches, you can change the K70 Pro Mini Wireless keyswitches to any combination of MX-compatible 3-pin switches. Itâs an easy process with the switch removal tool. Rounding out the design are the rubber feet on the base of the keyboard, which help keep it in place and prevent any wobbling. The K70 Pro Mini Wireless feels solid and sturdy, so Iâm impressed with the build quality. Couple that with the nice look, and you have a keyboard that is sure to be a fantastic addition to any setup. Performance: I love gaming with this keyboard. It works beautifully. I tested Apex Legends, Age of Empires, The Witcher 3, and Elden Ring. Across the board, every action felt snappy, and I couldnât spot any latency. I certainly canât blame any of my poor gaming performances on the K70 Pro Mini Wireless because its responsiveness is superb. Extensive use and lengthy gaming sessions are no problem for this reliable and durable keyboard. My gaming performance may waver, but the K70 Pro Miniâs does not. Software: Corsairâs iCUE software provides a high degree of customization. Profiles, key remaps, macro recording, and RGB lighting down to a per-key basis can be managed in iCUE. It is also necessary to update the keyboard's firmware. iCUE provides one of the best experiences Iâve had with peripheral software, and Iâd recommend using it, but you donât have to. The keyboard functions on its own, which I was happy about because I can use the keyboard with my work laptop where I donât have iCUE (due to it not being approved yet for company use). Since the keyboard has onboard memory, you can save lighting profiles that can follow wherever you go without needing the iCUE software. There are numerous settings to customize in iCUE, but Corsair did a great job keeping the interface clean and intuitive. Battery Life: On average, you can expect up to 30+ hours of battery life when using RGB effects or 200+ hours with backlighting off, which is comparable to most wireless RGB keyboards of this size. In testing, I noticed that your chosen lighting effects and brightness impact battery life, but not too drastically. I keep mine pretty basic with static or pulsing light on the medium or high brightness and consistently get 30+ hours of battery life. With my usage, that lasts me about a week, which Iâm more than happy about. When idle, it will put itself to sleep, which is a nice feature to conserve battery life. ----- WHATâS IN THE BOX ----- 1 x Mechanical Gaming Keyboard 1 x Wireless âSlipstreamâ USB Adapter 1 x USB-C to USB-A Braided Cable 1 x Corsair Logo ESC Key 1 x Radiant Spacebar Keycap 1 x Keycap Puller 1 x Keyswitch Puller 1 x User Documentation

If you have been interested in jumping onto the 60% keyboard bandwagon, then this is one you should have on your radar. The K70 Pro is the only wireless mini keyboard that Corsair offers, so if you are already a fan of Corsairâs line of keyboards and want to go mini you just need to stop now and buy. My model came with MX Silver Speed switches, but the beauty of this deck is that you can customize not only the keycaps, but also the switches to your heartâs content. You can buy keycaps and switches from Corsairâs website or use any keycap that will fit or any Cherry MX switch. Even if you donât want to customize it with additional purchases, at the very least try out the spacebar thatâs included in the box, it allows you to see 3 zones of RGB!

You can buy keycaps and switches from Corsairâs website or use any keycap that will fit or any Cherry MX switch. Even if you donât want to customize it with additional purchases, at the very least try out the spacebar thatâs included in the box, it allows you to see 3 zones of RGB! You can also customize the âaccent barâ which is a removable piece at the front of the keyboard (where the power switch and usb-c port are located). As of right now the only option available on Corsairâs website for the accent bar is in white but you could paint it. The iCue software (available for macOS or Windows) lets you customize the keyboardâs RGB lighting or remap keys. I usually do not spend much time with the RGB lighting options because every gaming peripheral has it these days but this keyboard can do some pretty cool tricks and the 360 degree light bar with itâs 28 LED zones makes for some pretty awesome effects. A cool trick is that you can set up the lighting effects and key assignments in the hardware so that the keyboard will still work the way you want even if iCue is not installed. You can store as many profiles as the 8MB of onboard storage will allow. If you canât install iCue for whatever reason there are keyboard shortcuts via the FN key to change the lighting effects. Thereâs actually a lot you can do with this keyboard without iCue. Most of it is achieved with the FN key on the right hand side which allows you to do the things such as moving the mouse cursor (this works surprisingly well!), changing volume, hardware profile, wireless connection, F1-F12 keys, etc. One of the most important FN key operations is the arrow keys, which are missing dedicated keys but can be used with a combination of FN and I, J, K, L. Unfortunately, I wish Corsair had used H for Left arrow instead of I so the keys would be the same as using the Unix vi command line editor which is muscle memory for me but...oh wait, I can simply remap the keys to my liking, problem solved! The downsides are minimal, if any. First, the keyboard itself is thick. From the thickest part of the keyboard deck to the desk is 7/8 of an inch thick and the entire thickness from top of keycaps to desk is an inch and a half. Itâs not any thicker than other mini keyboards out there but Iâm not sure why it has to be this thick. What is hiding in all that space? It makes it uncomfortable to use for hours of productivity without a wrist pad (which it does not include and would negate the reason for getting such a small keyboard in the first place). It also makes it a tad bit more difficult to travel with but still much easier than a full size or even TKL deck. I would just like to see it 20-30% thinner next time. The only other thing is with only 61 keys you will be using the FN key often to access the arrow keys or insert / delete key and until you have them memorized you wonât be able to see these functions printed on the keys at night. Only the primary key function is illuminated with RGB. On the flip side, it would look very busy if they were lit up and if you end up changing the mapping as I have it wouldnât make sense anyway. After a few days of use, I discovered that if you have iCue installed there is a handy guide in the tray that will describe the default FN key mapping (but not remappings) Pros: Corsair 2.4Ghz Slipstream Wireless (up to 2000hz polling) OR Up to 3 Low-latency Bluetooth Connections OR USB-C Wired (up to 8000hz polling) PS4/PS5 Compatibility Small Footprint Makes every key count Key Switch Swappable Per-key RGB 360 degree Light Strip Includes key cap and switch removers Highly customizable Cons: Thick Not the best for productivity Couple of other things to note: - New product as of writing this review so it will only work with iCue 4.25.155 or later - Not all may know you can pair multiple Corsair products to one receiver. Which is awesome so you only need to worry about one if you travel like me. I have my Dark Core RGB, Virtuoso XT, and now this K70 paired to the same receiver. Overall, as far as 60% boards go, this is likely the best. I use it when traveling as I am always on the go and never leave without my gaming laptop. I wish it was a bit thinner, but not a deal breaker. While itâs great for gaming, I find it less appealing for programming or design work where I am already using key combo shortcuts and with 40 keys missing itâs more cumbersome then Iâd like but just need more time. If you are a traveling gamer, have little deskspace, or simply just want your hands closer together when using a mouse this is the keyboard for you.

Battery Life: On average, you can expect up to 30+ hours of battery life when using RGB effects or 200+ hours with backlighting off, which is comparable to most wireless RGB keyboards of this size. In testing, I noticed that your chosen lighting effects and brightness impact battery life, but not too drastically. I keep mine pretty basic with static or pulsing light on the medium or high brightness and consistently get 30+ hours of battery life. With my usage, that lasts me about a week, which Iâm more than happy about. When idle, it will put itself to sleep, which is a nice feature to conserve battery life. ----- WHATâS IN THE BOX ----- 1 x Mechanical Gaming Keyboard 1 x Wireless âSlipstreamâ USB Adapter 1 x USB-C to USB-A Braided Cable 1 x Corsair Logo ESC Key 1 x Radiant Spacebar Keycap 1 x Keycap Puller 1 x Keyswitch Puller 1 x User Documentation
If you have been interested in jumping onto the 60% keyboard bandwagon, then this is one you should have on your radar. The K70 Pro is the only wireless mini keyboard that Corsair offers, so if you are already a fan of Corsairâs line of keyboards and want to go mini you just need to stop now and buy. My model came with MX Silver Speed switches, but the beauty of this deck is that you can customize not only the keycaps, but also the switches to your heartâs content. You can buy keycaps and switches from Corsairâs website or use any keycap that will fit or any Cherry MX switch. Even if you donât want to customize it with additional purchases, at the very least try out the spacebar thatâs included in the box, it allows you to see 3 zones of RGB! You can also customize ... MoreIf you have been interested in jumping onto the 60% keyboard bandwagon, then this is one you should have on your radar.

You can buy keycaps and switches from Corsairâs website or use any keycap that will fit or any Cherry MX switch. Even if you donât want to customize it with additional purchases, at the very least try out the spacebar thatâs included in the box, it allows you to see 3 zones of RGB! You can also customize the âaccent barâ which is a removable piece at the front of the keyboard (where the power switch and usb-c port are located). As of right now the only option available on Corsairâs website for the accent bar is in white but you could paint it. The iCue software (available for macOS or Windows) lets you customize the keyboardâs RGB lighting or remap keys. I usually do not spend much time with the RGB lighting options because every gaming peripheral has it these days but this keyboard can do some pretty cool tricks and the 360 degree light bar with itâs 28 LED zones makes for some pretty awesome effects. A cool trick is that you can set up the lighting effects and key assignments in the hardware so that the keyboard will still work the way you want even if iCue is not installed. You can store as many profiles as the 8MB of onboard storage will allow. If you canât install iCue for whatever reason there are keyboard shortcuts via the FN key to change the lighting effects. Thereâs actually a lot you can do with this keyboard without iCue. Most of it is achieved with the FN key on the right hand side which allows you to do the things such as moving the mouse cursor (this works surprisingly well!), changing volume, hardware profile, wireless connection, F1-F12 keys, etc. One of the most important FN key operations is the arrow keys, which are missing dedicated keys but can be used with a combination of FN and I, J, K, L. Unfortunately, I wish Corsair had used H for Left arrow instead of I so the keys would be the same as using the Unix vi command line editor which is muscle memory for me but...oh wait, I can simply remap the keys to my liking, problem solved! The downsides are minimal, if any. First, the keyboard itself is thick. From the thickest part of the keyboard deck to the desk is 7/8 of an inch thick and the entire thickness from top of keycaps to desk is an inch and a half. Itâs not any thicker than other mini keyboards out there but Iâm not sure why it has to be this thick. What is hiding in all that space? It makes it uncomfortable to use for hours of productivity without a wrist pad (which it does not include and would negate the reason for getting such a small keyboard in the first place). It also makes it a tad bit more difficult to travel with but still much easier than a full size or even TKL deck. I would just like to see it 20-30% thinner next time. The only other thing is with only 61 keys you will be using the FN key often to access the arrow keys or insert / delete key and until you have them memorized you wonât be able to see these functions printed on the keys at night. Only the primary key function is illuminated with RGB. On the flip side, it would look very busy if they were lit up and if you end up changing the mapping as I have it wouldnât make sense anyway. After a few days of use, I discovered that if you have iCue installed there is a handy guide in the tray that will describe the default FN key mapping (but not remappings) Pros: Corsair 2.4Ghz Slipstream Wireless (up to 2000hz polling) OR Up to 3 Low-latency Bluetooth Connections OR USB-C Wired (up to 8000hz polling) PS4/PS5 Compatibility Small Footprint Makes every key count Key Switch Swappable Per-key RGB 360 degree Light Strip Includes key cap and switch removers Highly customizable Cons: Thick Not the best for productivity Couple of other things to note: - New product as of writing this review so it will only work with iCue 4.25.155 or later - Not all may know you can pair multiple Corsair products to one receiver. Which is awesome so you only need to worry about one if you travel like me. I have my Dark Core RGB, Virtuoso XT, and now this K70 paired to the same receiver. Overall, as far as 60% boards go, this is likely the best. I use it when traveling as I am always on the go and never leave without my gaming laptop. I wish it was a bit thinner, but not a deal breaker. While itâs great for gaming, I find it less appealing for programming or design work where I am already using key combo shortcuts and with 40 keys missing itâs more cumbersome then Iâd like but just need more time. If you are a traveling gamer, have little deskspace, or simply just want your hands closer together when using a mouse this is the keyboard for you.
When I first took the key board out of it's box, the first thing I noticed was how heavy it is. This thing is solid! Very impressive build quality! I wish everything I bought was built this well. The keys are nice and clicky, with great feedback, and they're the same size as my normal key board. I had expected a mini version of a key board, but I had expected all the keys to be slightly smaller. In reality, this keyboard cleverly leaves off the top row of function keys, and the directional arrow section and numerical key pad that a full size keyboard would have, but the normal typing surface is perfectly normal, and as easy to use as any other key board you might want to use. The RGB lighting is beautiful, the colors are nice and vibrant, and the keyboard will shut ... MoreWhen I first took the key board out of it's box, the first thing I noticed was how heavy it is.

The RGB lighting is beautiful, the colors are nice and vibrant, and the keyboard will shut down after a few minutes of not being used so it will save it's battery. The included USB wireless plug in worked right out of the box and the keyboard was able to type as is. But in order to change the RGB there is some software that needs to be downloaded. This is where I ran into some issues. I couldn't get it to work correctly on my desk top PC... my best guess is because I'm still running Windows 7. But it did work perfectly when I downloaded it onto my laptop running Windows 11. The software allows a bunch of cool settings for changing the keys and mapping them differently if you want to assign different functions etc, and it also allows control of the RGB lighting. I found the software to be a little frustrating to use. It wasn't as intuitive as I would have liked and I couldn't figure out how to change some of the settings to how I wanted them. I'm certain that there's a way to do what I wanted, but I just couldn't figure it out and gave up in frustration. As slick as the interface looks, it's basically a skin over a bunch of choices the developers thought would be cool, instead of making it easy to just change things how the user might want to do it. Also it was kind of hard to figure out how to save my settings when I got them close to how I liked... as soon as I closed the settings program, the keyboard went back to it's default settings and I had to open the programmer back up and reset them again. I finally got it to save my settings, but I'm not even sure how I did it.... Over all it's a really nice keyboard, I love the size, I like the keys, and the RGB is pretty. Maybe I'll figure out the control panel after more useage but I'm not a fan of it so far.
MODEL REVIEWED CORSAIR K70 PRO MINI WIRELESS RGB 60% MECHANICAL GAMING KEYBOARD, BACKLIT RGB LED, CHERRY MX SPEED KEYSWITCHES, BLACK HEADLINE: FANTASTIC FEELING 60% RGB KEYBOARD â ALL THE KEYS YOU NEED OVERVIEW The CORSAIR K70 PRO MINI WIRELESS has all the features you would expect from CORSAIR like RGB goodness, as well as great clicky tactile feeling (CHERRY MX SPEED Key switches) and a really solid feeling build. More importantly this wonder is wireless (or wired) and supports the included Slipstream Wireless USB receiver. I also like the included key puller that easily allows you to swap out the black spacebar for the updated geometric design spacebar.

More importantly this wonder is wireless (or wired) and supports the included Slipstream Wireless USB receiver. I also like the included key puller that easily allows you to swap out the black spacebar for the updated geometric design spacebar. If you are new to 60% keyboards, donât worry these are not tiny little keys, they are full size (QWERTY) keys in the usual position. But instead, all the extraneous keys that have been added over the past 40 years are gone (or more precisely reassigned to dual function keys). This means that at first glance the cursor keys, function keys, numeric keypad, etc have been removed. Instead, for example you would press FN+I to trigger up arrow in normal everyday use. The CORSAIR K70 PRO MINI WIRELESS RGB allows you to toss a real gaming keyboard (in a mini-package) in your backpack for easy travel and storage, or just to reduce the clutter on your desk when gaming. In my case, I have a hard time fitting my mouse and full size gaming keyboard on the desk centered in front of the curved monitor. Now with the CORSAIR K70 PRO MINI WIRELESS RGB I easily have room for both. Since I already game with a CORSAIR - K95 RGB PLATINUM XT the learning curve and change in feeling was virtually non-existent, the keys feel exactly the same between my K70 and K95 XT. I can fully recommend the CORSAIR K70 PRO MINI WIRELESS KEYBOARD. SETUP Just download the latest ICUE software, then follow instructions for firmware updates (if needed) and you are off the races. Because I already had the K95, the setup process copied my existing profile and mapped it to the K70, which was very cool and saved lots of time. I look forward to playing with the advanced keymapping which lets you map keys to just about anything you can imagine. (mouse clicks, macros, other keys, other languages, etc). Comparing this feature side by side with the K95 the K70 seems to be missing APP mapping and PROFILE mapping (neither of which I use). SUMMARY The CORSAIR K70 PRO MINI WIRELESS RGB is every bit as powerful as its bigger brothers from CORSAIR, and every bit as capable and well built. If you are ready to experience the real-estate savings offered by a 60% keyboard, I recommend you take a close look at the CORSAIR K70 PRO MINI WIRELESS RGB. Wireless gives you extra freedom, but I would still take the cable with you in case you run out of battery.
This is an excellent keyboard. I wanted a keyboard with swappable key switches but I'm a sucker for the iCue and I have 6 devices that are compatible. This was the only keyboard I found that satisfied both requirements. Here are a few things that I've noted in the 2 or so months of use. -I was worried about battery life as I always keep the brightness for the nights at full blast but I've never gotten to the point of needing to charge and I frequently just top off the charge whenever I'm near my PC with the included USB-C. Additionally, the auto-wake feature is outstanding. The keyboard can go to sleep mode to typing in a split second. -The functionality of wired, wireless, and Bluetooth connections is something that I thought I would never use however I frequently ... MoreThis is an excellent keyboard.

Additionally, the auto-wake feature is outstanding. The keyboard can go to sleep mode to typing in a split second. -The functionality of wired, wireless, and Bluetooth connections is something that I thought I would never use however I frequently bring the keyboard from my home setup to my work setup. I would frequently forget a cable and wireless receiver and the Bluetooth connection was a lifesaver. The only cons I would add are ones specific to me and would likely only apply to something in my unique position or a high-level keyboard enthusiast. These cons are: -The keycaps themselves sound very "plastic" and hollow. This can be mitigated by doing what I've done and applying you're own film and lube but if sound is a dealbreaker for you, I might look elsewhere. -I frequently code as a hobbyist so losing the arrow keys is difficult at first but I've not included this con in my overall rating as, by definition, these smaller types of keyboards don't have them so it would be unfair to hold this against the keyboard. To its credit, it's very easy to develop muscle memory to use the arrow keys with the FN key pressed. -I experience a bug where the keyboard would freeze and need to be restarted whenever typing in wireless mode. After some research online, it seems that the issue had something to do with having certain settings in "Hardware Lighting" in iCue. Maybe this is unique to me so I haven't included this in the overall rating either.
This is my first time trying out both a 60% keyboard as well as Cherry MX Speed Silver switches. This K70 is replacing my Corsair K63 TKL with Cherry MX Red switches for use with my Xbox Series X and when traveling. I much prefer the design of the K70 over the K63 as it makes use of USB-C instead of micro USB and it also has a storage spot for the USB dongle, something very useful when traveling with the keyboard. I also like the MX Speed switches more than the MX Reds. They have a similar feel overall but the shorter travel and actuation distances make the keys feel firmer with less wobble. It definitely took a couple of days to get used to the extra sensitivity of the keys but it's a more pleasurable experience once you adjust.

It definitely took a couple of days to get used to the extra sensitivity of the keys but it's a more pleasurable experience once you adjust. My main keyboard has Cherry MX Blue switches and that is still my preferred switch for most tasks but when I want to be a bit quitter while gaming or working the K70 does well. Battery life has been great and definitely an upgrade from the K63. I'm not sure if that's due to a bigger battery or just better optimization but I am definitely reaching for the charger a lot less. The RGB lighting effects are also an upgrade over the monochrome blue and are nicely implemented but I often find myself toggling them off as I never really fell into the RGB craze. The alternate functions on the main buttons seemed weird at first but when in use they feel to be in comfortable positions. I think this is likely a common adjustment you need to get used to if you are interested in using 60% keyboards. The included cap pullers and addition spacebar and corsair caps are appreciated and I prefer the added texture on the triangle patterned spacebar.
When I saw this keyboard for the first time, I considered whether I would even enjoy something so compact for gaming. I have a conventional keyboard that I use for everything, primarily because I found gaming keyboards to be too loud for things like typing up a document, which I tend to do more often than play games these days. What I realized is this is the perfect thing for me, as a second keyboard that I can use for gaming exclusively while using my other one for everything else and due to its diminutive size, it will not be in the way when I put it aside. Being so small, wireless, and yet having a very tactile feel and heft makes it a really nice package overall.

What I realized is this is the perfect thing for me, as a second keyboard that I can use for gaming exclusively while using my other one for everything else and due to its diminutive size, it will not be in the way when I put it aside. Being so small, wireless, and yet having a very tactile feel and heft makes it a really nice package overall. This keyboard has the proven and well-regarded Cherry MX Keyswitches, and uses Corsairâs Slipstream Wireless technology for high speed, low lag inputs. You can also use it with Bluetooth or plug it in and go wired instead. I for one am not a pro gamer, but I do like to play as much as time permits me. So, I donât notice any difference between wireless or wired. That is a good thing however as it is telling for how good the wireless is. Bluetooth is not the best way to use this keyboard, there is noticeable lag going that route. But itâs an option, nonetheless. As is popular with PC gaming, full RGB lighting is in effect here, with each key individually lit and customized with Corsairâs iCue software. It even takes it a step further with RGB lighting around the entire perimeter of the aluminum frame. Itâs a very flashy and well-lit device. It advertises up to 200 hours of wireless play on a charge, I have no way to know for sure itâll last that long or what impact the RGB has on that battery life, but it seems so far like it will go a very long time before I need to plug in. Now, this is a gaming keyboard after all, and I have no complaints other than maybe the very small size. It is clicky, responsive, and all the keys feel good to the touch with good smooth travel and minimal noise. It has adjustable feet at the back for changing the angle like nearly all other keyboards Iâve used, and it comes with a couple of replacement keys to customize it a bit such as a different style of space bar, and a little tool for removing the keys. Also includes a charging cable, and a USB dongle for that Slipstream Wireless to work. The dongle plugs into the back of the keyboard for storage if you are using it wired or Bluetooth so you can keep it close by. With how small it is, some things get lost in translation. For example, it does not have dedicated arrow keys, but there is an alt function that will let you use IKJL as arrows if you need to, as well as many other functions on various keys. If you have space constraints, or maybe like me use your PC for lots of things that make only having a gaming keyboard a pain, this is a great way to go. Its responsive, feels great, and super small so it's easy to store away when it's time to work.
If you take your gaming on the road or just want a mini wireless keyboard that you can use for gaming this Corsair K70 Pro mini is definitely one you will love. This keyboard has the feel and response of the full size K70 Pro without losing to much functionality. The only complaint I have about this keyboard is I wish they would have put some of the dual-purpose symbols on the top of the keycaps vs the front side so they would be easier to recognize in low light conditions. Its only an issue until you memorize the secondary function keys you use the most. Corsair packs a lot into this mechanical RGB mini 60% form factor keyboard.

Its only an issue until you memorize the secondary function keys you use the most. Corsair packs a lot into this mechanical RGB mini 60% form factor keyboard. In my photos you can see the difference between the full size K 70 Pro and this K 70 Pro Mini. Every key has multiple functions and all of them have identification marking on the front side indicating its secondary purpose. The keyboard is on an aluminum frame and feels rock solid. The key layout and height of the rows are not compromised by the smaller form factor. The use of cherry MX mechanical switches makes this a true gaming keyboard. The keys are very responsive and provide the mechanical feel and sound you expect from a cherry MX keyboard. Corsair lets you adjust the polling time and switch debounce in the iCUE app if you like. The keyboard has a USB-C connector and a six foot long cable is provided for hard wiring or for wireless you can use Corsairâs slipstream wireless or Bluetooth connectivity. Using Bluetooth you can pair up to three different devices and there are three different keys to use for pairing and selection. I found it very easy to pair devices and to switch between them. The keyboard attempts to pair with the last connected device when powered up. Even though this is a mini keyboard it does allow you to control the media functions, the volume, the keyboard lighting and lighting modes as secondary functions on existing keys. The keycaps are double shot and they can be swapped out to personalize the layout. They include a keycap puller and a Corsair keycap and spacebar but it does not include FPS and MOBA textured keycap sets, all the keys have the same texture. You can set up macros and profiles using the keyboard or the iCUE app and then save them to the keyboardâs 8 gb of memory. The iCUE app gives you more control over the lighting, profiles, macros and key assignments however it can be frustrating at times because it is not very intuitive. The good news is once you get your profiles and macros set and saved you can select them with just the keyboard. This keyboard has 360 degree lighting which means not only do the keys light but also the perimeter around the keyboard itself lights up. The iCUE app gives you total control of the lighting and modes and there are enough options to make every gamer happy with the RGB options. There is an on/off switch and the battery should last around 32 hours if you use the RGB lighting. They also included a storage spot for the wireless receiver so you donât lose it when you arenât using it.
Corsair K70 RGB PRO Mini wireless mechanical keyboard boast the same form factor of K65 mini and is 60% form factor keyboard intended for travel purchase or minimizing desk space and itâs not targeted for everyday use unless you are used to not using arrow keys and other important keys.

It does take less space on your desk and comes with USB receiver (Slipstream wireless) for wireless. It does connect to 3 devices via Bluetooth multidevice option. Whatâs in the box: Keyboard with the USB receiver attached, braided USB 3.0 cable (Type C to A), Corsair Logo imprinted ABS ESC keycap, Radiant ABS space bar, plastic ring style keycap puller and Safety information /Warranty Guide. Keyboardâs minimalistic design is good and measures 11.6 x 4.3 x 1.58 inches and weighs around 1.42 lbs. which is slightly heavier than the wired K70 and its due to the battery on K70 PRO mini. USB cable is 6 ft. black braided fiber USB Type-C to Type- A. This Keyboard does not have all the keys from the full-size Keyboards. I have posted pictures with my Corsair K65 mini keyboard for comparison on the size. Very clean design. Space bar attached is the PBT keycap and has a radiant ABS that can be easily switched personally, like the printed ABS spacebar for its added aesthetics. This keyboard has height elevation tabs at the back like other keyboards that was lacking in the wired K65 mini keyboard. Battery is advertised to be at 32 hours with RGB effects and over 200 hours with backlighting off. Setup: In order to setup, you will need to download the latest iCUE software. There is no user manual included or any instructions that will walk through the setup process. Once the USB receiver is inserted to laptop or computer it automatically detects without any driver install and seamlessly connects to the keyboard once the power button is turned on. Once connected and the iCUE software is opened, it detects the keyboard and slipstream wireless USB receiver automatically and displays as 2 tabs for various setting adjustments. There were firmware updates available for both keyboard and receiver and to update the firmware you will need to connect the keyboard directly with USB C cable to your laptop. Takes around 2 minutes to update both the keyboard and USB receiver. Once done, you can adjust the setting for your keyboard like key assignments, hardware key assignments, wireless lighting effects, hardware lighting, performance, device settings. This keyboard has a new setting for lighting effects in the iCUE software called quick lighting zone where you can select all, WASD, QWERDF, 1-6, 360-degree lightedge. To save some battery I selected the 360 lightedge and few other buttons as profile. Looks great. Bluetooth Connection: This keyboard can be connected via Bluetooth to 3 different laptops/computers/mobile devices. All you must do is hit function (FN) key and Letter T key when the device is in Bluetooth setup mode. You will see Corsair mini wireless pop up for connecting and once you accepted it will display a 6-digit code to type on the keyboard. Just type the code displayed and press enter. Repeat the process for another device and this time configure by hitting the function (FN) key and Letter Y key to setup the second device and FN with Letter G key to setup 3rd device. Keyboard has lot of shortcuts and for those who are not comfortable with mini, or laptop keyboard will find this keyboard annoying at first as you will need to use shortcuts for most functionality like arrow keys, delete, media control keys. You will need to use the function key quite often if you need to use any of the shortcuts. For ex: if you need increase volume then you need to hold the FN key and press the corresponding shortcut key /?. It does take time to get used to this keyboard for the most part, I still have trouble with the arrow keys placement and the function key. Shortcuts for lighting, profiles, macros, mouse cursor, media controls are allowed. This keyboard has 8MB of onboard storage with dynamic profile system that allows to store up to 50 profiles with custom macros including 20 lighting layers. You can operate this keyboard in two operating modes â Hardware mode & Software mode. When you connect this device to a system that doesnât have iCUE software then itâs on hardware mode and the onboard stored profiles and lighting effects can be used. Overall, itâs a good value for 60% form factor mini wireless Bluetooth keyboard for 3 devices with RGB and is great for travel. Takes less desk space and looks great and powerful with its ultra-fast slipstream wireless receiver / multi- device Bluetooth option with RGB. Highly recommend for gamers and anyone looking for multidevice connect keyboard during travel for connecting multiple devices.
