In this article we are going to see the review of the Corsair k70 Pro mini wireless small in size but really big in performance!
When it comes to the Corsair K70, gamers already know that the quality is high but this further addition to the family is certainly a welcome surprise. Find this keyboard in a reduced size, wireless and with the ability to take advantage of the internal memory to save up to 50 profiles it can only make us happy. Of course we are here to mark strengths e defects of this newcomer and not only to sing its praises. So here is our opinion on this brand new Corsair k70 Pro mini wireless.
Packaging e design | Review Corsair K70 Pro mini wireless
As for the packaging of this Corsair K70 RGB PRO we do not deviate from classic choices of the brand. Carton package with yellow background and photo of the keyboard on the top. As usual, the main features of the keyboard are not missing on the box.
Inside the package we find ours K70 Pro mini wireless, a charging cable (Type A to Type C), two keys (one is the space bar) Interchangeable it's a key to remove the keys. Directly connected to the headboard we also find the dongle for the connection that exploits all new Corsair technologies.
As far as aesthetics and materials are concerned, with some minor changes removed, we have nothing to report. The format obviously 60% it gives a particular and equally appreciable aesthetic.
Obviously, the aluminum body remains but the keys change. Unfortunately, if you buy the Spanish version, you won't find the keys in PBT double-shot, but in any case there will be a novelty also in this aspect. Also not negligible possibility di remove e replace also the switch.
If in fact Corsair has always mounted frets in ABS in this K70 Pro mini wireless we will find polycarbonate as a material. To conclude the introduction dedicated to the keys it is good to point out that we have received from Corsair for this review of the K70 RGB PRO the version with MX Red switches. Obviously to have a keyboard reduced in size you have to give up the media compartment, the numeric keypad and some function keys.
How does it behave in play and in writing? | Corsair K70 Pro mini wireless review
Obviously this keyboard is designed to play and get carried away in everyday use is not the most immediate thing in the world even if for professional deformation we have developed a fairly advanced skill in becoming familiar with a new keyboard. After only a couple of days of use we got it confidence also in writing and, when the pie was over, having all the keys grouped nearby made us earn also a few seconds in the typing.
Obviously giving up the convenience of being able to adjust the volume with a wheel or switch between profiles with a button as we do with our K100 is not easy and if I told you that I would change in all respects with each other I would be lying. There Corsair k70 Mini is meant to play. Sure, you can safely use it as a do-it-all keyboard, but its soul and obviously gamer inside.
Obviously, the Axon functions and 8Mb of internal memory. Thanks to the dongle and its management it is possible to take advantage of the sistema SLEAPSTREAM which allows us to connect with maximum responsiveness reaching up to 8000 Hz in hyper-polling.
