Corsair K65 Pro Mini keyboard

For gamers who want a compact, wired board that’s all about speed, the K65 Mini Pro is the best around. It’s a bit pricey and the internal foam isn’t doing much, but solid hardware and an excellent layout (with or without iCue) push it above the competition.

Pour les joueurs qui recherchent un clavier compact et câblé axé sur la vitesse, le K65 Mini Pro est le meilleur. Il est un peu cher et la structure interne n’est pas très efficace, mais des matériaux solides et une excellente disposition (avec ou sans iCue) le placent au-dessus de la concurrence.
