Pros
- Travel friendly.
- Excellent amount of function keys including mouse control.
- Detachable USB-C cable.
- Offers some features you would expect from a full size keyboard.
- Solid build quality without much flex.
Cons
- High price point.
- Installed spacebar is ABS not PBT, as is the spare Corsair ESC key.
- No flip out feet (it's fixed height).
- No wireless control.
- Switches are not hot-swappable.
KitGuru says: The K65 RGB Mini is a good example of a mini keyboard, it looks great and still sports many of the features you would expect from a full-size keyboard. However, having a wireless capability and hot-swappable switches would have made sense for the price point because there are currently a few 60/65% keyboards that have more or less the same feature-set for less.
