IN THE (CHERRY MX) red corner, weighing in at just 1.42lbs, we have the latest contender from Corsair’s K70 keyboard range. As a 60 percent keyboard, does it pack a mighty punch or will it throw in the towel? Judging by the price tag alone, we're unsure how this fight will go—it costs more than the full-sized K70 RGB Pro we reviewed recently, which arguably has more versatility. On the other hand, the 60 percent wireless form factor is a big favorite in the gaming scene. So, is less actually more?
Straight out of the box, the design of the K70 Pro Mini Wireless feels sturdy, giving you the feeling of a good quality product. It is evenly weighted and features a rubber bar underneath and rubber around the feet to keep it in place on your desk. The feet only have one level of adjustment, which although it does give you a comfortable angle for typing, doesn't offer much variety.
Round the back of the board is where you find a USB dongle for the Slipstream wireless connectivity. Bluetooth is also available and there’s a USB C port on the back next to the power switch. Unfortunately, this USB C port is sunken into the board, which works great for Corsair cables but possibly not if you fancy switching it for a 90° custom cable.

AMD's turn to drop the ball?
WITH INTEL'S RAPTOR LAKE CPUs falling over, the company firing around 15,000 employees, and cancelling its 2024 innovation event, AMD must have been enjoying the view - until its new Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs rolled out. So, is AMD's CPU a minor stumble or game-changing fumble?
Intel issues fix for Raptor Lake degradation
EARLIER THIS YEAR, I wrote about difficulties I was having with a Core 19-13900K processor (see MPC230 Tech Talk). Little did we realize that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg. While most complaints have involved the unlocked Core i9 Raptor Lake CPUs, it appears the instability problems build up and potentially impact many Raptor Lake-13th and 14th Gen Core CPUs, with Intel identifying 22 different desktop parts.
