Corsair finally jumped into the 60% market with the K65 RGB Mini, and I’ll be honest—I went into this review really excited to see what they’d do with the form factor. That enthusiasm didn’t last long. I break down the overall construction and design, and to me it’s just… boring. Outside of the little raised Corsair logo on the back, it feels like a plain OEM 60% board, and I was really hoping for a more premium metal case or that brushed-aluminum vibe Corsair has nailed before. On the upside, the lighting is actually solid. You can run it with or without iCUE, there’s a ton of onboard customization thanks to the Axon processor (up to 50 profiles), and it supports up to 8000Hz polling—though I don’t expect normal humans to notice that. The LEDs look bright and saturated, and the white top plate helps a lot. But then we get to the switch options and the sound: only Cherry MX Speed or Cherry MX Red (so linear or… linear), and the ping on this board is real. At $109.99, it’s an easy pass for me when boards like the Ducky One 2 Mini exist for the same money. If you want iCUE on a 60%, that’s basically the only real reason to buy it—and to me, that’s not enough.
