Pros

• Good build quality.
• Great RGB backlighting.
• Hot-swappable mechanical switches.
• iCUE offers a lot of options.

Cons

• Very poor stabilisers result in unsatisfactory sound.
• Lack of included wrist rest.
• High price.

KitGuru says: The K70 Pro Mini Wireless is a good keyboard let down by very poor-sounding stabilised keys. The RGB performance and build quality are both excellent, as is Corsairs iCUE software that accompanies the keyboard. If you already own other Corsair products then you may want to give this board a second look…
