The stabilisers on larger keys are pre-lubed for silent and easy operation, the USB-C port is offset to the left to ensure the cable doesn't interfere with your mouse and the legends on each keycap are inscribed with a legible font that feels more grown-up than those on most gaming keyboards. The compact dimensions and aluminium frame contribute to a very sturdy feel too.īeyond the form factor, Fnatic have done well to nail the details here as well. As well as not taking up much desk space, a 22mm height and 420g weight means that this keyboard will fit in a bag or even the front pocket of a hoodie easily. The layout is slightly wider than the 60 percent size Razer Huntsman Mini below, but adds dedicated arrow keys and four programmable keys - I think most people will benefit from these inclusions. The keyboard uses Fnatic's own silent, linear and low profile 'speed' mechanical switches, allowing extremely rapid key presses and making double-taps easier. The £95/ $110 Fnatic Streak 65 is our new favourite compact keyboard, offering all of the functionality you need for competitive games in a small, convenient form factor that gives you plenty of space for your mouse and superior ergonomics.

Given that you still get the same core features like a full-size layout, PBT keycaps and excellent RGB lighting, the K70 RGB Pro is a strong alternative.īest 65 percent mechanical keyboard: Fnatic Streak 65 The £170/ $165 K70 RGB Pro offers its own advantages - namely an 8000Hz polling rate of interest to competitive, high-refresh-rate gamers and a detachable USB-C cable - but comes without the macro keys, wheel and RGB edge lighting of the K100. Thankfully, a cheaper option is also available. Of course, everything comes at a cost - and for the K100, that includes a substantial footprint and a premium price tag. The keyboard is well-built too, with an aluminium chassis and PBT keycaps that should provide excellent longevity. The actual typing experience hasn't been forgotten either, with a wide range of switches - including Corsair's own optical switches, Cherry MX Speed switches or low profile options and a 4000Hz polling rate.

The £230/ $210 full-fat Corsair K100 has super-programmable RGB backlighting and edge lighting that can reflect in-game stats, plus dedicated macro, volume and media controls, a multi-function wheel and a plush wrist rest.
