Our Verdict

Corsair K70 RGB PRO

Corsair K70 PRO MINI WIRELESS

The Corsair K70 PRO MINI WIRELESS is the compact (60%) wireless version of the Corsair K70 RGB PRO. The original K70 RGB PRO is a full-size, wired-only unit with an included wrist rest and extra features such as dedicated media keys and a volume control wheel. On the other hand, the K70 PRO MINI WIRELESS has a hot-swappable circuit board, meaning you can replace your stock switches with most 3-pin switches of your choosing.
