The little white boat with greatly improved appearance, K70 PRO MINI WIRELESS sharing

Domestic keyboard brands have suffered serious involution in the past two years, and the competition between brands has almost reached a fever pitch. In addition to price competition, various stacking materials are the foundation. This momentum has made many international brands faintly feel threatened. Friends who are familiar with the peripheral circle can carefully recall that several major manufacturers have basically started to make independent axes; popular elements such as sandwich cotton and hot-swappable plugs have also begun to be added to new products. For example, CORSAIR’s K70 PRO MINI WIRELESS has added a hot-swappable design. Compared with the black model that was launched recently, the newly released white version has a greatly improved appearance.

The general selling points of CORSAIR K70 PRO MINI WIRELESS three-mode wireless keyboard include: aluminum alloy body, 360-degree surround light strip, wired/Bluetooth/2.4G three-mode wireless connection, full-key hot-swappable design, 8000Hz return rate (wired mode), and PBT two-color light-transmitting keycaps, etc. This is a keyboard that is very different from previous family products, and even made many players start to recognize the brand of CORSAIR again.

Accessories include: the same color TYPE-C port braided data cable, manual, warranty card, plastic key puller and shaft puller in sealed packaging, and two personalized keycaps.

Boathouse keyboards have been equipped with this plastic key puller for many years, and it would be perfect if it could be replaced with a wire key puller. But I have to say that Chuanjia’s shaft puller is really easy to use. I tested other keyboards near the frame and the keys are also easy to pull out. The two personalized keycaps presented are ABS laser engraved light-transmitting keycaps, because the two-color process cannot make such complicated patterns at present.

K70 PRO MINI WIRELESS is a 61-key configuration keyboard, which is the same configuration product as its own K65 MINI. It is classified into the K70 family because of the higher level of design and hardware performance in other aspects.

Installing two personalized keycaps is the complete body of the keyboard, and the recognition is much higher.

The keyboard uses a suspension design, and the upper panel is made of aluminum alloy material with anodic oxidation process. The left, right and front sides of the keyboard have obvious adduction designs, which are obvious differences from the K65 MINI.

There is a series name logo of "//K70" on the left and right sides respectively.

The edges and corners of the keyboard have been treated with high-gloss chamfer transition, which increases the texture and does not cause the problem of sticking hands.

The rear side of the keyboard is extended outwards, and the brand logo is in the middle. There is a 360-degree surround RGB light strip around the keyboard near the bottom.

The TYPE-C port jack, power switch, and 2.4G receiver storage compartment are respectively located at the left and right ends of the back of the keyboard.

What is more interesting is that the rear side of the keyboard is a simple detachable structure. After opening, you can see that there are many holes reserved. It is a bold guess that there may be expandable accessories in the future.

Almost each of the 61 keys has a corresponding FN layer function. Fortunately, the corresponding function is printed on the side of each keycap, and the operation is not difficult to get started. Basically, you can control multimedia, lighting effects, and other commonly used operations without driving. The keyboard has a built-in 8MB storage space. With the support of the AXON chip, 50 sets of onboard configuration storage can be realized.

The thickness of the keycap wall is about 1.5mm. It is a set of standard length PBT two-color light-transmitting keycaps, OEM height, and closed character design. The surface of the keycap has obvious graininess, and the pressing feel is dry and comfortable.

The consistency of the large keys is not bad, but there is a little noise, but this keyboard is a hot-swappable design, if the requirements are high, it will be significantly improved after taking it off and lubricating it. In addition, the shaft is equipped with a Cherry shaft, and there will still be some spring sounds.

The full key supports hot-swappable function, and the lamp bead is a front-mounted LED lamp bead. When choosing a replacement shaft, you need to pay attention to avoiding some light guide shafts and five-legged shafts. In any case, CORSAIR can use the hot-swap solution, which is already a good start.

The area of ​​the anti-skid pad on the bottom case of the keyboard is very large, and the keyboard is equipped with foot supports, and the details are still in place.

After opening the CORSAIR family bucket iCUE software, the system will automatically recognize the keyboard, and will detect whether the firmware version has been updated. Key task is actually key customization, modifying keyboard keys and key functions according to your own usage habits.

When the light is connected to the driver in 2.4G wireless mode, it will prompt that the keyboard will display the selected lighting effect only when the driver is turned on. With the blessing of the AXON chip, the keyboard can support up to 20 layers of lighting effects, and the lighting is highly playable.

In wired mode, with AXON super-speed processing technology, the keyboard can reach a return rate of up to 8000Hz, achieving an ultra-fast response speed of 0.125 milliseconds.

The 2.4G wireless receiver is recognized as an independent device and supports SLIPSTREAM wireless technology, allowing earphones, keyboards and mice that support this wireless technology to share a receiver. At the same time, it can also ensure that the peripherals can achieve an ultra-low latency of 1ms in 2.4G wireless mode, which is definitely one of the best solutions for wireless family bucket users.

The white version not only has a better appearance, but also has much better lighting effects. The 360-degree surround light strip is a very large identification point of the keyboard. Playing with lights, the thief boat is still stable!

CORSAIR K70 PRO MINI WIRELESS has a battery life of about 32 hours when the RGB backlight is turned on, and can be increased to 200 hours when the backlight is turned off. This keyboard supports three connection modes: wired, 2.4G wireless, and Bluetooth 4.2 wireless, and all three modes support full-key no punching. In general, I think this keyboard breaks the consistent brand design style of CORSAIR and brings us many different design concepts. The materials used in the workmanship and the performance of the hardware performance are also well-deserved as the second flagship. The most important thing is that the appearance and lighting effects of white are much better than those of the black model. I don’t know if this little white boat can float into your heart.
