Corsair K70 Pro Mini Wireless

Is this small and quirky keyboard worthy of its hefty price tag?

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.
