Fnatic - Mini Streak Professional Esports Wired TKL Gaming Mechanical CHERRY MX RGB Brown Switch Keyboard with RGB Back Lighting - Black

I am a competitive gamer and have tried numerous keyboards, both cheap and expensive. I consider this keyboard midprice. I love the way this one looks, sounds and feels. The size is fun, doesn't take up a lot of room on my desk and is ready to use on my lap. So far I have zero complaints. I have not had it long so I am not sure about durability but so far so good! It seems sturdy and I am happy with this purchase.

Fnatic’s new miniStreak Keyboard is for those who prefer something compact or don’t need a number pad. The miniSTREAK keyboard is 28mm at the thinnest point and weighing only 704g. It has rubber feet keeping the keyboard from moving during gameplay. The keyboard looks cool with a black metal anodized metal top plate with a FNATIC Logo in the top left and a removable backlit Magnetic FNATIC plate in the front with configurable RGB backlighting of the keys and logo. If you are creative you could make a customized magnetic front plate. There’s a small backlit Fnatic logo on the space bar. The Keyboard uses CHERRY® MX Switches these are know to be reliable beyond 50 million keystrokes per switch. Each switch has self cleaning contacts, resistant to dust, and fiberglass reinforced. You can pick a Red, Red Silent, Blue, Brown depending on your preference. My keyboard came with the Brown keys, this is the best all around key for gaming and typing. There are dedicated mute keys for both mic and audio. A competition key turns off all the unnecessary features during gaming. The mute keys are in the upper right hand corner recessed to prevent accidental activation as is the function key in the upper left. The Wrist rest is an innovative design, it is light and very adjustable. The base is detachable from the keyboard and the pad has 3 adjustable levels to fit any hand. The pad has a textured PU leather top and is attached to the metal base with neodymium magnets, it does not budge once set up. The Fnatic Op Software is early access, it controls the options of the keyboard allowing you to set up the RGB lighting, Key bindings and Profiles. The same software controls their Mouse options. I did not notice any bugs with the latest version. You can download it at WWW.FNATIC.COM/OP I found the Keyboard very responsive and great for gameplay. The Cherry MX brown keys have a great feel and action. This is my new favorite keyboard.

Great feel to this keyboard. Much quieter than my Corsair K70 with Cherry MX reds. Love the smaller footprint, and not missing the numpad at all.

Love this keyboard, you can never go wrong with mx cherry switches. I did change the key-caps to the Hyper X pudding key-caps, not because the original key-caps felt bad, but because i like the overall look better.

Overall I give this keyboard a very high review. This is a great starter mechanical keyboard for those looking to get themselves into the mechanical realm of switches and gaming. The board is very solid, no flex, and has the Cherry MX Brown switches. It will no doubt hold up for many years. The keys have a very tactile feel to them without the clicky noise from some of the other switches. This is good for those not wanting to make too much noise as they game away late at night. It is very compact for a board this size. The fact that it comes with a USB Type C connection means that they were thinking ahead. Some companies still used hard wired or even micro usb. The wrist rest that comes with it is not bad, very adjustable. I could do with or without it. The colors that are back lighting the keys are solid enough and comes with enough customization to entertain most gamers.

First off, the ministreak is not a fullsize keyboard so no numpad to the right of the keyboard. It has RGB lighting that comes alive with the Fnatic app offering many customizations and lighting effects, it has a detachable cable, offers a LED name plate and comes with a customizable attachable/removable palmrest. Inside the box is the keyboard, Fnatic stickers, usb cable, a quick guide booklet and the palmrest. The keyboard itself has a standard keyboard layout with addition of a fn lock button ( placed between the ESC and 1 keys) and three buttons namely microphone mute, a competition mode and speaker mute found at the top right of the keyboard all of which are lit whenever pressed. Once you flip the keyboard over you see the grooved out layer for the removable usb-c to usb-a cable used to power the keyboard, along with two moveable feet folded into the back that can be flipped out to hoist the keyboard. The keyboard is good to go right out of the box, no software needed and it works instantly as it is plugged in. There great travel distance when typing yet the keys are very responsive and make the overall experience feel very smooth and snappy. The included adjustable palm rest is a definite win and it is one of the most comfortable I have ever user. It made both long gaming and typing sessions much more comfortable and less straining on the hand.

I'm a huge fan of this keyboard. I've wanted a Cherry MX Brown TKL ever since I made the decision to get a full size when I purchased my first mechanical back in '12. They're surprisingly rare in retail form. Sure you can buy from a boutique place, but so many are riddled with middling quality. The ones that aren't are expensive. The Fnatic (I hadn't even heard of this brand until I came across it on Best Buy's site) Streak Mini is a great value. I purchased an open box for a good ($72) discount and I'm extremely pleased with the results. The standout features for me: * USB-C detachable cable (woot for a modern cable on a keyboard!) * RGB w/ per key lighting w/ great lighting effects - the Fnatic OP software is early access and only hits the fundamentals, but that's enough for me. Software isn't obtrusive or in your face. * F-lock hardware key (more likely to use volume/macro keys than F-keys when gaming) * Metal top plate - but plastic bottom: makes this guy super light weight but solid. You could easily throw this in a bag and go. * Gaming mode swaps to a different lighting profile and allows you to customize multiple keys (poor mans layer) * Decent keycaps, even if they're ABS - they feel good and the font is not 'gamery' (save the space bar, but even then it's not obnoxious) * TKL + Cherry MX Brown! Plus this is a small footprint TKL. * The integrated wrist rest is a huge plus: comfortable, adjustable, and attached. Hard to ask for more. I put a set of 70A o-rings on and I'm in keyboard heaven! Not only does this quiet the keyboard down, but makes it super comfortable to type on. The keys aren't too loud to start w/ and with o-rings the most noise I get is some pinging on the bottom row around the arrow key side if I hit 'em hard. The biggest complaints I have are the F-lock, mute and gaming mode buttons are flat small buttons that are towered over by the cherry mx switches. You'll have a hard time finding these unless you hover over your keyboard. I don't know if it'd be possible, but a shorter cherry switch for these would be a better way to solve for this without affecting touch typers too much (although I'm no keyboard engineer). Another thing is if you want to put alternative key-caps on, the top row and space bar switches are oriented upside-down. This means that the back-light is on the bottom side (which works great w/ the OOTB key-caps - as they put the f-number on the front of the key, and the function on the lower area of the legend - keeping both labels quite visible without crowding) which may throw a wrench in your custom key-cap plans as you'll loose the majority of the back-light on a standard top row key. The rest of the switches put the back-light on the top in a more standard approach. I didn't disassemble the keyboard to see if it was easy to re-orient, but given the price point I doubt it. RGB back-lighting is awesome, but like many RGB keyboards - you won't get a true white color if that's your desire. If you're in the market for a minimalist Cherry MX Brown back-lit TKL that isn't obnoxiously styled, look no further. Chance are this will be the perfect keyboard for you, and if you catch it on sale: good amount less than competitors. It combined a great switch (subjective, but I've always been pleased with browns for typing, gaming, programming), great back-lighting, great layout and sublime styling into an affordable package! Highly recommended.

This is a really great gaming little keyboard. I had a larger which included a number keypad and extra buttons I never used. This keyboard feels easy on the fingers and has many settings. The design is compact and convenient USB3 wire connector. Very responsive just like other keyboards I’ve used. The only thing I miss from old keyboard is the mic and headphones outputs for which I wish I could take half a star but no such option. Lighting settings are cool to see at night.
