Hardcore Desktop Matters Chapter 242: CORSAIR K70 PRO MINI Wireless Keyboard Review: White appearance combined with super beautiful visual lighting effects, 60% minimalist wireless gaming tool!

Mechanical keyboards can be said to be the most popular category in PC peripherals, and almost all PC DIY-related brands have launched corresponding keyboard products. Corsair, a veteran brand familiar to players, is no exception. It has worked in this field for many years and has developed a complete product ecosystem. The protagonist to be introduced today is CORSAIR’s new K70 PRO MINI wireless mechanical keyboard, which mainly supports 2.4G wireless + Bluetooth + wired three-mode connection, full-key hot-swappable + PBT keycap. The 60% minimalist configuration is very easy to carry, and it is also suitable for games, office work, and going out. Saying goodbye to the previous cool black style, K70 PRO MINI also brings a white style, providing more choices for players who love white products.

60% arrangement full of CORSAIR and RGB elements!

The CORSAIR K70 PRO MINI keyboard is made of aluminum alloy. In addition to being more durable and stable, the two textures of anodized and matte sandblasting are mixed and matched, which is more trend-setting. The keyboard frame is very narrow, and the entire key deck is framed in this material and molded in one piece, which is why it's so compact. K70 PRO MINI is full of pirate ship and RGB elements, echoing the white peripheral products of American pirate ship, and the overall look is quite attractive.

The CORSAIR K70 PRO MINI wireless mechanical keyboard is designed for players who love FPS games. It adopts a minimalist 60% arrangement, which greatly increases the moving space of the mouse. The minimalist arrangement is not difficult to use. Although it has cut down the arrow keys and the F key on the top, it can also use the usual shortcut key functions by cooperating with the FN key combination. And CORSAIR also thoughtfully engraved the combination key icon on the side of the keycap, which also helps players to reduce the cost of learning the combination key in both games and office fields to a certain extent.

Thanks to the minimalist layout design, the K70 PRO MINI wireless mechanical keyboard has a lighter body. The size of the whole machine is 292x109x40mm, which saves more desktop space under this volume. For the mixed office mode of modern urbanites, it can not only be used at home, but its small size is also convenient to carry it with you, and use it with a laptop or tablet when you go out.

The keyboard inherits CORSAIR's unique floating island design, which can reduce noise (mute) and reduce finger fatigue. While reducing the key travel, it can reduce the effort of the fingers, and the fatigue will naturally decrease. At the same time, reducing the strength of the wrist can reduce the force of finger tapping. The smaller the finger force, the natural sound will become smaller, and the fatigue will also be reduced.

Although the keyboard itself has a slanted design, the author feels that it feels better after opening the feet and adjusting the angle of the keyboard. It is beneficial to relieve the fatigue of long-term input.

K70 PRO MINI is designed with separate keys and wires. The wire supports USB TYPE-C interface, which is very convenient for users. A USB A to C braided cable and supplementary keycaps are included, and there are also elements of American pirate ship on it, which is full of "thief ship" style.

360-degree surround RGB lighting effect, the gaming atmosphere is "ignited"!

The K70 PRO MINI wireless mechanical keyboard has a full-key independent LED programmable RGB backlight, and has added a 360-degree surround light edge with 28 LED beads. After connecting the device, the light is very dazzling, and the gaming atmosphere is overwhelming.

AXON super-processing technology provides up to 8000Hz return rate, bringing a better gaming experience!

In the new series of K70 products, the K70 RGB Pro Mini wireless mechanical keyboard has added AXON technology, which can bring an 8000Hz return rate (poll rate), no matter how fast you type, it can recognize every time The key pressed. Compared with 1ms of traditional 1000Hz mechanical keyboard, the speed is 8 times faster, which is very useful in games.

Although in actual operation, these data cannot be directly quantified, and ordinary players may not be able to detect the difference between 1000Hz and 8000Hz, but for hardcore gamers who pursue the ultimate experience, it will be possible to eliminate hardware limitations as much as possible. Give them a head start on game responsiveness.

Three-mode connection to meet the different needs of players!

In order to meet the needs of different users, the K70 PRO MINI wireless mechanical keyboard supports 2.4G wireless, Bluetooth and wired connections. First of all, in terms of wireless, through the USB receiver that comes with the keyboard, it can be compatible with most PCs, Macs, Xbox, PS, Switch and other devices. For the connected device without USB interface, it can also be connected via Bluetooth.

The USB receiver also supports CORSAIR’s Slipstream technology, combined with CORSAIR’s own AXON super-processing technology, from the player’s keystrokes, processing, and transmission to the computer, the speed is 8 times faster than that of traditional keyboards. At the same time, in order to solve the problem of interference during wireless signal connection, the K70 PRO MINI wireless mechanical keyboard also incorporates IFS technology, which automatically searches for the best channel to maintain the best connection stability.

In addition, the rear side of the K70 PRO MINI wireless mechanical keyboard provides a USB Type-C interface to charge the keyboard or use it as a wired keyboard. In terms of battery life, when the RGB light is turned on, it can provide about 32 hours of use time, and it can last up to 200 hours if the RGB light is turned off.

Provide mainstream Cherry switch body and hot-swappable solutions to increase playability and practicality!

At present, 60% of the keyboards on the market are mostly mechanical switch products, bringing a portable design for players who have requirements. CORSAIR’s K70 PRO MINI wireless mechanical keyboard uses Cherry MX mechanical switches. Currently, Cherry red switches and Cherry silver switches are officially available. In addition, through the key puller included in the package, we can replace the required mechanical switches by ourselves. For example, replace the WASD keys used for games with Cherry silver switches or silent red switches suitable for games to match different use environment.

For novice players, CORSAIR provides a wealth of shaft options, so there is no need for secondary tuning or changing shafts. In addition, because the K70 PRO MINI wireless mechanical keyboard adopts a full-key hot-swappable structure and is compatible with mainstream pentapod switches, it is very convenient for veterans who want to customize and replace key switches later.

PBT two-color injection molding Pro keycaps, the touch is obvious, and the characters are not easy to wear!

Generally speaking, mechanical keyboards have a long service life, and the design of replaceable mechanical switches can further extend the usable time of the keyboard. Therefore, another appeal of players is the requirement for keycaps. The keycap of the K70 PRO MINI wireless mechanical keyboard uses PBT double-shot injection molding (Double-Shot Pro). In addition to reducing the occurrence of discoloration, its frosted surface can also increase the feel and effectively prevent it from being damaged due to rapid movement during the game. Mis-pressing occurs due to the position of the finger.
