Our Verdict

Corsair K70 RGB TKL

Razer BlackWidow V3 Mini HyperSpeed

The Corsair K70 RGB TKL and the Razer BlackWidow V3 Mini HyperSpeed are compact gaming keyboards that have incredibly low latency. The Corsair is a better choice if you prefer a wired board with a dedicated F-row, dedicated media keys, and a volume control wheel. It's available with linear Cherry MX Speed switches only, which may not be ideal if you prefer a different feel. On the other hand, the Razer is a better choice if you prefer a wireless board that you can pair with up to three devices at once via Bluetooth. It's available with linear Razer Yellow and clicky Razer Green switches.
