For most gamers, their keyboard is the most essential piece of gaming hardware in their arsenal. It’s not just for inputting commands; it’s also an extension of who they are as players and community members. The Corsair K70 Pro Mini Wireless marries the unmistakable style and features of one of the best mechanical keyboards on the market with an incredibly small form factor that enables you to use it anywhere—even in places, you’d never expect to see a full-sized keyboard like at your desk or your couch.
Design
Corsair K70 Pro Mini
The Corsair K70 Pro Mini Wireless is a gaming keyboard that looks like it means business. It’s got a black aluminum chassis with RGB backlighting, and it’s packed with features that gamers will love. The highlight is the Cherry MX Red switches, which are some of the best in the business. The keys are also well-spaced and have a nice texture to them. Overall, the build quality is excellent. There aren’t any loose pieces or jagged edges. There’s an aluminum palm rest on the right side and rubberized feet on the bottom to prevent sliding around. I had no issues connecting this wireless keyboard over Bluetooth to my desktop PC running Windows 10 Anniversary Edition. You’ll need a USB receiver for wired connectivity, but other than that there were no compatibility issues at all.
Performance
Corsair K70 Pro Mini
The Corsair K70 Pro Mini Wireless is one of the best gaming keyboards you’ve ever heard of. It’s a compact, wireless keyboard that delivers amazing performance. The keys are extremely responsive and the backlighting is bright and clear. Plus, the battery life is incredible. I was able to play for hours without having to worry about recharging. Even better, it has an easy-to-use design. Unlike other models which have six or more different buttons in various places on the device, this model has just two buttons located near the left side of the keyboard where your fingers naturally rest when typing.
There’s also no need to pair with a dongle or wait for Bluetooth pairing because it’s already there. The only downside is that there isn’t any wrist rest or palm rest like some other models have so your hands may get tired if you’re playing games with long sessions but not enough to make me want to stop using it completely!
I’m giving this keyboard 5 stars out of 5!
Connectivity
Corsair K70 Pro Mini
The Corsair K70 Pro Mini Wireless is a gaming keyboard that offers both wired and wireless connectivity. It uses a USB dongle for wireless connection, which is included in the package. The dongle plugs into a USB port on your computer and allows you to connect the keyboard wirelessly. The keyboard also comes with a detachable cable that can be used to connect the keyboard to your computer’s USB port. You can use either the wireless or wired connection, but not both at the same time.
If your computer is close to your desk, it doesn’t make sense to use a wireless connection. Wired keyboards are more reliable and offer more than enough range for everyday computing. However, when you’re playing games that require a lot of movement, a wired connection can be a hindrance. For example, if you’re playing a game that requires quick actions with both hands and moving around at the same time, it’s cumbersome to have a wire trailing from your PC to your keyboard.
Pricing
Corsair K70 Pro Mini
The Corsair K70 Pro Mini Wireless is a new entrant in the crowded field of gaming keyboards, and it’s one of the best we’ve ever used. It’s also one of the most expensive, at $179. That’s a lot of money for a keyboard, even a really good one like this. But if you’re looking for the best possible gaming experience, the Corsair K70 Pro Mini Wireless is worth every penny. Plus, the battery life will let you take your keyboard on the go without worrying about battery drain. If you want to be able to game anywhere without having to plug into a power outlet, or just want an incredible wireless gaming experience, then the Corsair K70 Pro Mini Wireless is perfect for you.
Software
Corsair K70 Pro Mini
The Corsair K70 Pro Mini Wireless is a gaming keyboard that has been designed with a professional gamer in mind. It features a detachable mini wireless receiver, which makes it easy to take with you on the go. Plus, it has a numeric keypad and a backlight that can be customized to your liking. You also get an extra set of textured keycaps for FPS games and Dvorak keyboards as well as some nifty extras like a detachable wrist rest and mouse bungee. One thing to note about this keyboard is that it does not come with a physical USB cable (just the wireless receiver), so if you’re going to be using this at home then make sure you have one handy.
And while I personally prefer mechanical keyboards over membrane ones, it’s worth noting that the keys on this model are a membrane design. As such, they do feel slightly mushy when compared to mechanical ones but still deliver satisfying feedback when pressed. Personally, I find them more than good enough for my daily gaming needs. And considering how much stuff comes bundled with this product (wireless receiver included), the price point is hard to beat as well!
Bottom Line
The Corsair K70 Pro Mini is a wireless keyboard that flies high above the competition with its battery-friendly low-profile design and strong, low-latency signal. When taking into account its moderate price tag, it’s hard to find anything to complain about with this stellar gaming keyboard. We’re very pleased that we took the time to review this excellent product, and we give it our full recommendation.
