Razer Reclusa X Mini 65% gaming keyboard review
A budget mini keeb that somehow manages to feel high-end.
Razer has introduced a new budget-friendly gaming keyboard called the Razer Reclusa X Mini 65%. This small keyboard lacks a numpad but includes all the essential keys for everyday use, with an impressive build quality considering its price point. At $50 (or £60), it feels more expensive than its cost, thanks to its doubleshot ABS keycaps, meaty switches, and a durable frame that resists flexing.
Despite its limited features, with 1,000 Hz wired polling, no Hall effect switches, and no dedicated multimedia keys, the Reclusa X Mini 65% is a solid choice for gamers looking for a compact and affordable option.
Ideal for budget-conscious gamers who want a high-quality keyboard without breaking the bank, the Reclusa X Mini 65% is an excellent option. It's small and stylish, making it perfect for those who need a compact keyboard that doesn't take up much desk space. However, if you're looking for a gaming keyboard with competitive specs like 8,000 Hz polling or dedicated multimedia keys, this keyboard might not be the best fit for you.
The Reclusa X Mini 65% features a 65% layout with Razer Gen-3 Orange tactile switches that have a 3.5 mm travel distance and 50 g actuation force, providing a comfortable typing experience and satisfying feedback. The keyboard's RGB lighting adds a stylish touch, and it comes with features like Snap Tap, Snap Flex, and Dual-Keypress Priority, all accessible through Razer Synapse.
Although the keyboard's performance is not top-notch, it delivers an excellent balance of features and affordability, making it a strong contender in the budget gaming keyboard market.
