Keep in mind these head to head comparisons I do are meant to be isolated comparisons between the two boards not which is the best out of everything out there. Which comparison do you want to see next?

[@Mynerva]

Im going with the Corsair Mini (already use the software). Going to add pudding keycaps, and attempt to foam the inside to reduce hollowness. I cant get over how nice the casing is on the corsair it looks too good.

[@kahelsoro]

Same, one of the factors I considered; the software; i already use it as well. and TBH for my use-case, the corsair one is a better choice. On a purely keyboard standpoint, Corsair K65 is really not a bad keyboard; i guess the main irk is it could have done more, instead of being just a 'meh'

[@TsunamicBug]

Should of gotten a keychron if you weren't going for the Huntsman

[@Mynerva]

@@TsunamicBug I actually ended up going with an Epomaker 6k68x for the hot swap

[@TsunamicBug]

@@Mynerva you made a good choice personally i went with the huntsman because of the low actuation force and the fact the reds are quieter than a membrane

[@dimitrimonovasios4589]

i just bought mine and i love it

[@monfrezo]

The biggest difference aside from the cosmetics of these keyboards is the latency of the k65 rbg mini, it has the lowest latency on the keyboafd market, many reviewers even forget to point it out.

[@doezoe.]

Thanks for the comment! Worth buying? Or are there better keyboards out there?

[@funkytumble217]

PLEASE READ IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY DEBATING!!! As a professional keyboard enthusiast, the k65 SLAMS in almost everything. Now the Razer Huntsman Mini isn't bad, it is good, but there are a HUGE list of reasons why the K65 could compete with HIGH END keyboards like apex pro, etc. Firstly, the latency on this keyboard (ig you could say input delay for those who dont understand, the point is it responds really fast), it can compete with high end keyboards and WIN, ik right? Secondly, build quality. Now this varies from location, but where I live the build quality is EXCEPTIONAL, way better than the huntsman. They also sound much better in person, but that razer sounds the same, idk why his vid is like this but oh well. The cherry mx speed silver switches are VERY responsive, sound good, and have CRAZY actuation points (not sure you can change it but for gaming and esports, changing isnt needed for this beauty. The build design is almost perfect for most people, the lighting is SO GOOD, like I can't explain how good it is, and the white version is even BETTER (hence why I chose the white over black). Now I know there are more details to why the K65 RGB Mini is great but I just need to state the two downsides. The first downside is the only main downside to this build. Sometimes (NOT ALL THE TIME) the K65 Case (the thing where the keycaps sit on top) or whatever its called, can come hollow and if you listen closely, you can hear and sometimes even feel the hollowness, but that comes down to luck because I did not experience this with my first 1, my mate did tho. BUT THERE IS A SOLUTION, since the case is pretty easily detachable, you can place any foam inside the case where empty space is, and this will completely cancel the hollowness noise, COMPLETELY, my mate did this and it sounded so good. Last sort of downside is you can't adjust the incline of the keyboard, because there is none, but that only disappoints typers and workers, for gamers and pros, its completely fine, and if you find it uncomfortable just get a wrist rest for 5 bucks on amazon or something. Its easy to get used to anyway. Just to top this review off, in MANY keyboard reviews that have been made and certified by experts, the K65 beats the Apex Pro Mini in Overall gaming, value (obviously), raw performance, sound, lighting, it sometimes even ties with Apex Pro Mini in response time (actuation point + input delay, etc.) which is REALLY good, and the keycaps font is good for gaming because it helps you quickly identify what key to press with the unique gaming font. Overall, if you want a keyboard for cheap, exceptional quality, perfect response times and sounds, (and not caring about random additional features like rapid snapping or whatever because even PROS have said it barely does anything), get the K65 for your OWN sake. To make it EVEN BETTER, take the case off, open up the empty space, fill it with foam, and boom there you have it. An Apex Pro Mini that looks and sounds better, same response time (well nearly), much cheaper and only misses out on additional features THAT DO NOT DETERMINE IF YOU GO PRO OR NOT!!! I REPEAT THEY DO NOTHING (I own one myself). I know this is going to be hard to read but it is WORTH IT if keyboard and budget REALLY matter. I hope you enjoyed this review and reply if you have any questions. :)

[@Mrpenguinn217]

Damn u wrote a lot😂

[@snowy9073]

Where I live, you can get the K65 for 70 while the Huntsman is 150 so it's more then double + you can mod the K65 for under 150 total, i'm definitely picking up the K65

[@Koopsstuff]

the k65 is much cheaper without the speed switches. at my local shop the one with regular red switches was 75$ but the one with the speed switches was about 135. you are probably not looking at the right keyboard

[@CyborgFish]

@@Koopsstuff I just got the speed switch k65 for $80

[@samjd261]

After buying the Huntsman Mini (before watching this but whatever), I noticed that Razer has a bad habit of using wacky stabilisers. As much better as the Huntsman Mini stabs are compared to the ones on the Blackwidow, my previous keyboard, they're still rlly weird lmao. I do kinda wish they used normal ones.

[@jacob.rausch]

[@hellfire_rxse7512]

THANK YOU for not getting the purple switches like everyone else. they are LOUD. i have a tonor tc777 mic and it picks up the sound from my sisters huntsman mini from her desk. i think the switches have a metallic echo to them and sound horrible, along with a lot of wobble and bad stabs. the actuation is way too light too. I did not expect to be bashing a keyboard at 6am in a comments section but here we are. if you are considering getting razer purple switches BEWARE. i can hear them from in the kitchen when my sisters desk is in a room in a different hallway.

[@TsunamicBug]

Yeah I love the Reds. They are smooth and sound unique. Don't get the loud clickys and the 'thocky' switches but that's just me

[@definitelycultured7521]

Difference : this video Similarity : my broken ass can't afford both of em

[@lukro.]

the k65 has a 0.1 ms input delay and the huntsman has like 3 ms so k65 is technically better. it also has less rattle

[@Stackali]

yeah. i couldn't believe the rattle on the razer. especially that spacebar. it was horrible.

[@Mrpenguinn217]

K65 mini is in white

[@mrstim96]

I got the K65 Mini and just modded it to my liking, and it's by far the best keyboard out of all possible. Although, I wanna give Ducky One 2/3 Mini a go

[@realblackdog]

In my opinion, k65 is way better than huntsman Im using it rn and definitely I dont feel like Im using something cheap, I feel like Im using a premium keyboard at all, and k65 uses cherry mx switches, which is definitely something to consider

[@YoocoPaw]

Cherry Mx are better than Huntsman optical switches?

[@realblackdog]

@@YoocoPaw I wouldn't say one is better than the other, however generally Razer keyboards are overpriced for no reason. I've seen people complaining about optical switches because they are activated very easily, causing a miss click. I'm still typing on the K65 and I continue to confirm that it's a great keyboard and Cherry MX is unlikely to let you down.

[@YoocoPaw]

@@realblackdog thanks for your answer, ill buy the k65

[@GrandSil90]

Corsair really fucked it this time, honestly, what were they thinking? The case is also literally just an OEM design, if you put the k65 mini and a anne pro right next to eachother you wouldn't know which is which if they both had blank keycaps

[@foloz7475]

Bought the K65 after having a K70 for years and the 65 is 100x better. No idea what the hate is. Y’all some 🐑

[@cardz3607]

Not even closeeee. I got the K65 years ago n it's fast as fuck, the hardware they put into it is nuts and still holding up

[@Authentyc]

Yeah but Corsair K65 RGB Mini has 0.1ms latency, 8000Hz Polling AND is cheaper then the Razer Huntsman Mini..

[@bandhkedalosochomat1082]

Got the mini, the factory lubing is so good.

[@bogunt]

blud is a profesional in mechanical keyboards yet doesn't realize how garbage the huntsman sounds

[@Stackali]

the corsair sounds way better. even with the hollow case. which you can just put some type of sound dampening foam in.

"I dont like linear switches" and thats where i stopped the video

I had the huntsman mini with razer optical switches (red) and i had problems with some keys that doesnt trigger the funtion and i returned for that reason, with the corsair k65 i dont have any issue after 4 months of use and this have 8mb to save 50 profiles or macros that is a good point to corsair.

Corsair just released a white version of the k65! of course 2 months after i bought the white k70 even tho i knew it’d be too big

just fill the case with something to get rid of that hollowness. pretty much every custom keyboard builder fills the case with something.

I like tactile switch, I have the blackwidow lite with orange switch, I want to change the keyboard, which one do you recommend? I'm not interested in custom

[@TheRaider716]

I have no clue what he’s talking about, the Corsair is way better than the Razer. I wouldn’t own either since I use a custom built Alpine65, but I have tried both at a store and the Corsair was surprisingly better than I expected. Not great, but better than Razer. Here is a list of reasons. 1. High profile keyboard case sounds and looks nicer 2. I actually think they made a good choice using a plastic case. It saves money and leads to a better sound. An affordable keyboard like these two would not take advantage of an aluminum case as they would definitely not include any dampening foam. This leads to case ping and exaggerates any rattle caused by switches and stabs. This makes the Razer keyboard very pingy and unpleasant in my opinion. 3. While I don’t really like cherry switches( I prefer Kailh or gateron) and wish Corsair offered more options, I still prefer them over the Razer switches. The Razer switches are terrible in terms of sound and for typing, and I would still take a normal switch for gaming too. Additionally, the durability of them isn’t really a selling point for me. I have used many keyboards, both prebuilts and customs with a variety of switches, and switches degrading or breaking has never been an issue. 4. STABILIZERS!!! The stabs on the Corsair don’t sound bad in person(they are no hand lubed screw-in Durock or Zeal, but this keyboard probably isn’t meant for people that know what that is anyway). The Razer ones rattle a lot, and the aluminum case only makes it worse. 5.Hotswap Overall, I think Corsair has a long way to go, but they are heading in the right direction. This K65 sounds and feels much better than my old k70. I would love to see an aluminum case with case foam, but if you are determined on getting a “gaming” keyboard the Corsair k65 is much better than the Razer!

[@mystikast3]

I thought I was the only person who thought the k65 sounds so much better its not even comparable. I tried the k65 speed switches and the mini red switches at best buy and felt like the k65 sounds sooooo much better. Could be personal preference I guess but I thought the razer sounded like shit.

[@customswitchblade6924]

[@neoxyl4036]

@@customswitchblade6924 nah, I have both gateron and razer here and can directly compare them, razer linears definitely feel a lot more scratchy

[@xyonidee2651]

I wish Razer sold the switches by themselves I’d put them on my custom keyboard

[@flashbits6614]

You would need an extra pcb for that, because the lightbeam for actuation doesn't sit in the switch itself.

[@chadesmeier6187]

The K65 is about a thousand times better than the Hunstman mini once you add some foam. Sounds like you're a huge Razer fanboy but go off.

[@Hello0004]

[@WargodFilms]

Anyone know how to nightingale the keys on the razer mini?

[@ItsReaxxion]

stabs on corsair (specially spacebar) is way better on corsair than huntsman tbh, also one "hard to unsee once seen" thing about corsair keyboard is the cable plug is not centered xD

[@bart9591]

If you press hard enough on the edge of the Corsair space bar, the stabilizer on the other side literally starts to come off.

[@TsunamicBug]

Just mod the stabs on the Huntsman.

[@stephwitthestepback]

i have both so let’s see

[@karolkedzierski5824]

Razer is a shit company with a lot quality issues. I was choosing between the both and went with the Corsair. Way better quality of products. Ive had a couple Razer stuff, including mice and keyboards and always had some issues with their switches, crappy quality plasitc parts etc. Also this guy is talking bollocks when it comes to the "cheap plastic feeling" on the k65. The housing is made of solid, thick and very stable plastic. Nothing bends and everything fits together perfectly. Ive tried some Steel series mini keyboard that costed 200e and the quality of plastic housing there was horrible (the keyboard bended when i twisted it!). Besides the white plate under the keys is made out of very rigid metal. My suggestion is- never buy products basing on yt sponsored videos, try yourself or read forums.

[@braedenhill7888]

I have a quick question. Can you change latency on a keyboard by changing switches?

[@levii637]

no you can't change the polling rate

[@elementalgaming2264]

No but if you go 8000 polling rate on k65 you get a 0.1ms instead of the avg 1ms on 1000polling

[@Bindx0]

@@elementalgaming2264 How do you change polling rates? Is it a switch on the keyboard or software function?

[@coreytreverson9334]

@@Bindx0 it has to be a feature on the board. Corsair has it and Razer doesn’t and to be honest Razers optimechanical red switches are way faster at 1000 polling rate than the Corsair Speed Silver switches at 8000.
