So small but heavy duty
Love this keyboard! The compact 60% size saves a lot of desk space. The keys provide a very quick response for gaming, and the RGB lighting is amazing!

One of the better 60% boards I've tried
I honestly wasn't expecting to like this keyboard that much when I picked it up and its been a while since I've had a Corsair board. I'm happy to report while not perfect or enthusiast-grade it's still pretty solid and works great. Unboxing/setup: In the box you get just the keyboard, extra keycaps for customization, and a keycap remover. It's just simple. This keyboard has RGB and you can tweak it right away using FN+ the various commands that are printed on the side of the keycaps. If you wish you can get more in depth by installing iCUE which is one of the better software's for keyboards. Design: You can get this in a couple different colorways (most common being black and white) and it looks very clean. The font on the keycaps (which are PBT and feel great) is very basic and doesn't look "gamery" which is appreciated. The cable that plugs in is USB-C but sadly it's positioned right smack in the middle so its harder to get out the way. You also sadly don't get any angle adjustment on this board so it's one size fits all. Lastly the 60% layout fits very well on my tiny desk which is one of the main reasons I picked it up. Switches & performance: The star of this keyboard are the Cherry MX Speed switches, and now while these are a bit outdated these days they still feel great. I feel sooo good and accurate typing on this on this board. For gaming they also actuate quite fast so it makes for a excellent experience in FPS games. You also get the option of 8K polling in this keyboard if you want that extra responsiveness and your PC can handle it. Other notes: - The settings and RGB can save directly to the board - The RGB can look a bit off especially on the spacebar if you're using white colors - There is a windows lock key which comes in clutch In conclusion this is one of the better keyboards I've recently tried, and while its a bit older now I can still recommend it if you're in the market for a 60%. Pros: * Form factor * Build quality * Switches * Performance * Great for both typing and gaming Cons: * No feet adjustments or angle tuning * A bit dated in 2024

Good keyboard with sensitive keys
Overall this is a pretty good keyboard, especially for the discounted price. The keycaps are made of PBT, so the keycaps likely won’t get shiny after long periods of use like some keycaps made of ABS might. The 60% form factor might not work for everyone, but all of the functions of a full keyboard are included through secondary functions assigned to keys pressed with the FN key. One minor thing I wish they had improved was the default location of the arrow keys, which are mapped to keys in the middle of the keyboard. Some other 60% keyboards actually have the keys on the bottom right of the keyboard be assigned by default to be the arrow keys when pressed with the Fn key. I think this is a more natural location for them. Overall though, the keyboard is well built and the RGB is great. The Cherry MX Speed keys have a very short actuation distance, which can definitely result in typos and activation of random keys if you’re not careful. This is a great feature for gaming but if you want a keyboard for both gaming and typing, you might find that you make too many typos, like I did. While I did like the keyboard, I couldn’t get used to the sensitivity of the keys, which is my only main issue. If you’re interested in gaming and fast paced FPS games, I think this will be a great keyboard for you.

My favorite keyboard so far!
I didn't have high hopes for this keyboard. I got it on sale so I went for it. We have several PCs and I have a Razer mini which I liked and I was planning on getting a 2nd. I'm glad I got this instead. The Keyboard feels more substantial in that is has more heft, frame feels sturdier. The Lighting on this Corsair is far superior to the Razer. My razer huntsman mini has the purple optical keys which I definitely like and they're clicky while the Corsair has a more linear switch. The feel is world's different. The Corsair has a solid feeling with every keypress while the Razer feels very sloppy in comparison. The Razer is much louder which doesn't bother me but after using the Corsair, the huntsman just feels and sounds cheap. The Razer makes a clackety rattling sound while the Corsair has a solid feel of a more premium keyboard. I'm not sure what the caps are made of on the Corsair but they feel much nicer and of higher quality than the Razer which uses the Razer pbt caps which aren't bad, just not as nice as the Corsair. We have many keyboards, all mechanical keyboards common on the market in the $100-200 range from Steelseries, Ducky, Asus, plus the Corsair and a few Razer boards. I prefer this Corsair over all of them. I don't love the mini size. It's good for a hardcore gamer, but I have space for a full size and I plan to get a full size Corsair with these same switches. If you have kids that make alot of noise banging on mechanical gaming keyboards, this is a good one to get that won't give up performance yet isn't half as loud as the other mechanical keyboards I've had here.

Great mechanical gaming keyboard
This is a great addition to my gaming setups. It gives more room for my mouse action. The keyboard feels good. The RGB is good. The white color matches my setups well. (I have two setups, one a tower and one a laptop).
