更小，更强，美商海盗船 K70 PRO MINI WIRELESS

I've grown to be a CORSAIR fan since buying my first CORSAIR K70 keyboard many years ago on the recommendation of a friend. Over the past few years, I have been looking forward to a wireless keyboard from CORSAIR to simplify my desktop. However, the designers of CORSAIR seem to devote their energy to the field of wired keyboards, and wireless keyboards have been late. No news.

But as the saying goes, if you never forget, there will be echoes. I finally waited for CORSAIR’s wireless keyboard-K70 PRO MINI WIRELESS. From the model, it can be seen that it belongs to the high-end K70 series of CORSAIR. MINI means that the keyboard is very small in size, with 60% key layout. In addition to USB wired connection, it also provides multi-mode wireless connection methods such as Bluetooth and SLIPSTREAM. In terms of configuration, aluminum alloy frame, 360-degree surround light edge, replaceable CHEERRY MX shaft body, PBT two-color injection keycap and powerful Shenguang system make it not only suitable for games, but also various customizations to adapt to More application scenarios.

The packaging of K70 PRO MINI WIRELESS continues the family color scheme of CORSAIR. You can see the model and product display of the keyboard on the front. I bought the silver version this time.

On the side of the package, you can see that this keyboard has LIPSTREAM wireless fast connection, AXON and other black technologies. The thickness of the box also indicates that the positioning of this keyboard is not simple.

The opened package, in addition to the K70 PRO MINI WIRELESS keyboard, also provides a TYPE-C data cable, a key puller, a shaft puller, a radial space bar, a pirate ship logo keycap and an instruction manual, etc.

The keyboard adopts a compact 60% key layout and a simple narrow frame design, with a specific size of 292mmx109mmx40mm. Compared with the standard keyboard, the numeric keypad, F keys, function keys, etc. are discarded, which greatly reduces the size of the keyboard, and the wireless connection can maximize the release of desktop space.

A large area of ​​silicone feet is arranged at the bottom of the keyboard, and the nameplate of the product can be seen in the middle, with the serial number and various parameters marked on it.

Viewed from the side, the bottom shell of the keyboard has also undergone two-stage color separation, and the exquisite K70 logo can be seen on the top. The keyboard has its own inclination, and the height and curvature of the keycaps are also slightly different. These optimizations will make it more suitable for your fingertips when typing on the keyboard, making it easier to fire.

The tilt angle of the keyboard can be further adjusted through the hidden feet at the bottom of the keyboard.

The bottom of the keyboard also adds a 360° surround light edge, and each of the 28 lamp beads can be customized through the iCUE driver to further improve the rendering of light pollution on the desktop.

Viewed from the top of the keyboard, the aluminum alloy frame has obvious trapezoidal slimming lines, and the LOGO of the pirate ship can be seen in the middle of the top.

K70 PRO MINI WIRELESS has a built-in large-capacity lithium battery, and the longest battery life can reach 200 hours. An independent power switch and wired TYPE-C interface are set on the left side of the top of the keyboard.

There is a 2.4G storage compartment on the right side of the top of the keyboard, which is neither loose nor tight, and the damping is moderate. It is very convenient for daily access, and there is no need to worry about loss.

The matching 2.4G receiver adopts the mini bean design, which is very small in size. The logo of SLIPSTREAM wireless fast connection can be found on the receiver, which indicates that the performance of this wireless receiver will be very powerful, and it can be compatible with the entire Corsair wireless system. I will talk about it later.

The weight of the keyboard is about 620g. With the short key body, it can be easily stuffed into a backpack if you need to carry it out.

In terms of buttons, although the keyboard adopts 60% arrangement, this K70 PRO MINI WIRELESS can still give you a user experience that is not weaker than 104 arrangement, which is mainly due to the application of the FN key combination on the keyboard. On the bottom right side of the keyboard, you can find the first FN key.

On the right side of FN, you can find the second FN2 button engraved on the side, and you can quickly operate them with your right hand.

Through the backlight setting, the uppercase status of WIN and CAPS of the keyboard can display the switch or lock status in real time.

On the side of the keyboard, you can see that almost every button is arranged with a side engraving, and the functions are also very comprehensive. You can even use this keyboard to simulate the control of a mouse.

In terms of layout, similar to the back delete key and DEL are arranged together, the volume adjustment, direction key adjustment can also be operated with one hand, the logic of use is very reasonable, and you can get started quickly with simple familiarity.

In terms of backlight, K70 PRO MINI WIRELESS has built-in multiple sets of lighting effects, and the lighting effect scheme can be quickly called up through the combination of keys, and customized adjustments can be made.

With the powerful iCUE driver, you can customize each light bead on the keyboard, and at the same time superimpose up to 20 layers of hardware lighting effects, which is extremely playable.

In terms of the switch body, my keyboard is equipped with a CHERRY MX silver switch body, a linear key switch, a key stroke of 1.2mm (40% faster than the red switch), and a trigger force of 45cN. click lifetime.

The backlight effect of the axis body is very uniform, and the brightness performance is also satisfactory.

What's more interesting is that American pirate ship has added a customized design to this keyboard. Each shaft body can be disassembled and replaced by itself, and the attached key puller is also very useful. After removing the shaft body, you can see that the base uses a 3pin interface with strong compatibility. You can customize the feel of each key on the keyboard. For example, I hope that the ESC, space, DEL, and Enter keys feel harder and clearer, and can be replaced with green switches. Another example is that when I am in the game, I am worried about touching it by mistake, so I can replace the QWER and other keys with red switches.

In the design of the big key, the common main shaft + satellite shaft design is adopted. The largest space bar is also the same plan, and there is no balance bar, but the full key is well tuned, and the percussion feel is quite balanced.

It can be seen here that the keyboard uses an aluminum alloy panel, which has a strong texture through anodizing process and matte sandblasting.

In terms of keycaps, K70 PRO MINI WIRELESS is equipped with sturdy PBT DOUBLE-SHOT PRO keycaps, the keycap wall thickness is 1.5mm, and the frosted texture treatment can be seen on the front, which is more wear-resistant and anti-fading.

The keycap characters adopt a more expensive closed design, and the light transmission is also very good.

You can further customize the look of your keyboard with included special Corsair logo keycaps and a radial-style space bar. Here you can compare the difference in craftsmanship of the original keycaps, which one do you prefer.

Since the keyboard supports SLIPSTREAM wireless fast connection technology, you can get ultra-fast 1ms latency performance.

By supporting SLIPSTREAM technology, you can also connect multiple CORSAIR wireless devices, such as the keyboard and headset on my desktop, through a 2.4G receiver.

In terms of feel, the 60% arrangement of the keyboard reduces the distance between the keyboard and the mouse, the operating area of ​​the right hand is also larger, and the coordination of both hands is more coordinated. The characteristics of the silver axis itself are closer to the red axis in daily use. When playing games, you will feel that the trigger is more sensitive, especially when playing competitive games with fierce confrontation, you will have better performance.

Plug in the data cable, K70 PRO MINI WIRELESS can turn on the keyboard's 8000Hz return rate full blood state. Through the AXON ultra-speed processing technology, this keyboard will respond 8 times faster than the traditional 1000Hz keyboard. The theoretical signal delay is only 0.125ms, and the transmission rate is further improved. The charging speed is also quite satisfactory, basically 3-5 hours can fully charge the battery.

Since the keyboard is equipped with a low-latency Bluetooth module, when you need to temporarily connect to other devices for use, you don't need to plug in and unplug the 2.4G receiver, just switch to the Bluetooth mode. The compatibility is stronger, and devices without USB ports such as mobile phones and tablets can also be used quickly.

In Bluetooth mode, you can also see the battery life of the keyboard.

K70 PRO MINI WIRELESS meets my expectations for the Corsair wireless short keyboard. The 60% configuration of the body is small and portable, with powerful lighting effects and 360° surrounding light edges. It is full of personality, with narrow frame design, metal frame, and CHERRY original switch , interchangeable shaft and other designs make it reflect the level that a major manufacturer should have in terms of appearance and use feel. As a member of the K70 family, this keyboard has a very high configuration, built-in wireless multi-mode function, stable connection, and long-lasting battery life. In wireless mode, it can provide low-latency performance that is not weaker than wired, and in wired mode, it has a top-end USB return rate of 8000Hz. After confirming the eyes, it is the new keyboard I want.
