Corsair K70 Pro Mini

The Corsair K70 Pro Mini Wireless is a 60% form-factor mini keyboard with a sleek, all-black design, per-key RGB lighting, and a light strip that runs around the base of the keyboard. It has elevation latches for more comfortable use, and its compact frame feels sturdy enough to take some bumps and bruises inside or outside of a backpack.

The keyboard features a metal baseplate and an aluminum top plate that is sandblasted and anodized in black, with double-shot PBT keycaps that promise to be very durable and long-lasting. The keyboard's compact size and lightweight design make it ideal for those with limited desk space or for someone who primarily games on a laptop.

The keyboard's lighting is highly customizable and easy to use, but the color accuracy may not be perfect. The keyboard is perfect for gamers on-the-go or in tight spaces, and its hot-swappable switches and three ways to connect make it a versatile option for customization.

The Corsair K70 Pro Mini keyboard offers a choice of Cherry MX Red or Speed switches, both of which are linear switches with a 45-gram actuation force. The Cherry MX Red switches offer a light, smooth keypress feel with no tactile feedback and a longer travel distance, making them suitable for heavy typers.

On the other hand, the Cherry MX Speed switches have a shorter travel distance and actuate faster, making them ideal for gaming and quick reflexes. The keyboard has a hot-swappable PCB, allowing users to customize their typing experience with most 3-pin switches. The build quality is exceptional, with a sturdy metal baseplate and high-quality double-shot PBT keycaps.

The keyboard is expected to last close to 10 years before a key switch gives out. Overall, the Corsair K70 Pro Mini keyboard is a great option for heavy typers and gamers who value customization and durability.

The Corsair K70 Pro Mini keyboard offers a high level of customization, with full RGB backlighting and individually-lit keys that can be customized using the iCUE software. The software provides a lot of options for personalizing the RGB lighting with different colors and effects, and the keyboard also has extra RGB zones built into the frame and a LightEdge RGB strip that runs around the base of the keyboard.

The keyboard has 66 programmable keys that can be remapped, set with macros, and customized with RGB lighting using the iCUE software. The software also allows for the creation of up to 50 user profiles. The Corsair K70 Pro Mini offers hot-swappable customization, allowing for easy changing of Cherry MX key switches without soldering, and comes with replacement keycaps and a keycap puller for easy swapping of keycaps to various colors.

The keyboard's customization is highly praised, but users should be aware of limitations such as the green tint in the white backlighting and the lack of an included wrist rest. Overall, the Corsair K70 Pro Mini is a great option for gamers and enthusiasts who want a highly customizable keyboard with advanced RGB lighting options.

The Corsair K70 Pro Mini keyboard offers three connectivity options: USB-C, Bluetooth, and Corsair's proprietary Slipstream wireless technology. The Slipstream wireless option is the fastest and can be used across other Corsair peripherals without issues. The keyboard can also be connected via Bluetooth and can pair up to three devices at once.

The K70 Pro Mini Wireless can connect via USB at a maximum polling rate of 8000Hz for 0. 175 milliseconds of latency, via a 2. 4GHz "Slipstream" wireless adapter with a polling rate up to 2000Hz, or up to three simultaneous devices at 1000Hz through low-latency Bluetooth 5. 0. The stability of the connectivity options of Corsair K70 Pro Mini seems to be reliable.

Overall, the Corsair K70 Pro Mini is a versatile keyboard that can cater to the needs of gamers, professionals, and casual users who require a reliable and stable connection.

The Corsair K70 Pro Mini Wireless keyboard is a versatile device that is compatible with various operating systems, including PC, Mac, console, Android, and iOS via Bluetooth connection. While the recommended system for full enjoyment is Windows 10 or 11, the keyboard works with every operating system, and all default buttons work as intended on most operating systems.

However, some hotkeys may not work on iOS and iPadOS. The keyboard is not designed to work with any specific gaming platforms, but it can be used with any games that are compatible with a keyboard input. The keyboard is plug-and-play, with many functions already on-board and readily available without the need for software.
