Corsair’s first foray into the 60% keyboard market hasn’t gone quite as smoothly as I think they hoped. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a nice layout, but there are a number of things that need improving before I could really recommend it, let alone use one myself. What’s wrong with it you ask? Well, let me explain. But first, if you haven’t already, consider subscribing for more videos like this one every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

I should start this review off by saying I’m not a mechanical keyboard nerd, I haven’t tried every keyboard and switch under the sun, and I don’t frequent r/mechanicalkeyboards often. I’m also someone who runs a full size Cherry MX Brown board from 5 years ago – pre patent lift – so many of you who are interested in this 60% board will already think I’m a heathen. With that said, I’ve definitely got some thoughts on this, so let me lay those out.

First, for those who don’t know, a 60% layout means you drop not only the number pad, but also the function keys, F1-F12, and both the arrow and home/end/insert/delete/page up/page down keys. What you are left with is a tiny board with nothing but the bare essentials, although the downside is that while the keyboard does retain its ability to use many of those keys, you’ll have to hold FN when pressing the key you want to access that secondary function, which on this board is ninja printed on the front edge of the key cap. For example if you want to use the arrow keys, you’d hold FN then press U, H, J or K. Some people don’t mind that tradeoff, and on this K60 Mini you do get secondary functions on almost every key, including media key functionality, and even some mouse actions too.

On the whole, the layout is fine. It’s basically just a standard ISO layout – at least here in the UK anyway – but with some extra secondary functions. The arrow keys are a little off centre, and holding FN down does get annoying if they are in regular use, but overall the layout is fine. Personally, I don’t like 60% layouts in general, like I said I use a full size as my daily so missing arrow, home and end keys and the number pad is a big step backwards in productivity for me, but of course that’s not a reflection on Corsair’s board more than it is of any 60% board.

But talking of the K60 Mini, the first thing that got me was the sound. The ringing when you press and key, even lightly, is very, very noticeable. It’s literally the first thing my partner mentioned when she tried it, it’s loud enough that even me with hearing loss can hear it on every keystroke. Have a listen…

If the pinging wasn’t bad enough, the cheap clacking sound to the keys makes you question why this thing costs £110. On top of that, the same mushy space bar is present here as it was on the K70 TKL, it has a completely different feel and sound to every other key and caught me off guard when gaming. It’s something you do get used to, but again speaks to the quality feel, or lack thereof.

The height is something I couldn’t get used to. It’s pretty high, especially considering there aren’t any adjustable feet to raise or lower it – this is all you get. I found when writing this script on it, without using my usual wrist rest my wrist fatigued quickly to the point where I had to stop writing and do stretches. I ended up switching back to my usual board and my wrist rest for the sake of my wrists. This will be a personal preference thing, but for me it’s not great.

As for gaming on it, that was alright. Newer Cherry Red switches aren’t my favourite, linears in general aren’t anyway but these aren’t the best, but it felt fine. The comfort level still wasn’t great so for me this isn’t something I could game on long term, but if you can get comfortable with it I imagine you’d have a decent time. One of the features Corsair boasts about on their site is it’s 8,000Hz polling rate. As mentioned in the K70 TKL video, that is misleading marketing as the keys are only scanned at 4,000Hz, meaning the 8,000Hz polling rate is just a marketing number and can’t be utilised at all. I’d argue high polling rates on keyboards don’t matter anyway, but even if they did, because Corsair are using Cherry MX Red switches, physical, mechanical switches, you will never see a benefit as the switch still needs to be debounced adding 1-2ms of delay before the keyboard sends a signal. So, forget about high polling rates on this, you don’t need to enable it.

Lastly, on the style front, I quite like it. The key caps have this really fine grain texture to them that makes them both grippy and comfortable, something I’m pretty happy with. The space bar has a nice design, although it becomes underwhelming the second you plug it in and find there is only a single direct RGB LED behind the whole width of the bar – despite the bar being almost fully translucent. A few more direct LEDs back there would definitely be welcomed. The RGB, as always, can be customised to your preference using the new iCUE, as can all the keys if you want to remap them, although knowing me I’d set it to white and never look at the settings again.

All in all, I can’t say I’m a massive fan of the K60 Mini. For the right person, maybe someone who only games on it using headphones, it might be alright, but considering you can buy 3 or 4 non-name-brand 60% boards on Amazon for the same price as 1 of these, I’m not sure you should.
