Our Verdict
Corsair K70 PRO MINI WIRELESS
Corsair K65 PLUS WIRELESS
The Corsair K70 PRO MINI WIRELESS and the Corsair K65 PLUS MINI are both wireless mechanical gaming keyboards. The K70 has a smaller 60% form factor and has better raw performance with a higher maximum polling rate of 8000Hz (4000Hz effective polling rate). It also has shine-through keycaps, so you can read legends in darker rooms. On the other hand, the K65 PLUS WIRELESS has a larger 75% form factor and better overall build quality, as its keys don't wobble quite as much. It also has a control knob that allows you to zoom in/out or scroll through content and adjust settings such as backlighting brightness or media volume.
