Hello, this is The Provoked Prawn, and this is the video on Corsair K65 RGB Mini that
you can see being refreshed here with a number of different colors.
This was done and created
using Corsair, PBT Double-Shot PRO Keycap mod kits.
And you can buy these kits in a
variety of colors for around 30 pounds or $30.
Corsair was kind enough to send me a
collection, which included white, red, blue, pink, and green.
And you'll see them being
unboxed and installed here.
I decided to do an interesting stop motion set up just to
show you what you can do with it and the potential colors and wonder at it all but I'm also going
to talk to you about what these keys are like.
Now you can see a number of them installed
here on the Corsair K65 RGB Mini.
And it's worth noting that this is the new mod kit
set that is designed to work with any Corsair keyboard with Cherry MX switches, and it will
work with any of the recent Corsair keyboards that have a standard bottom row layout.
Now
this is the UK variant, obviously with the English Keyboard Layout rather than the American,
so you will notice some differences if you are from America, because we have a slightly
different setup with a small left shift and a large enter key.
But you can buy variants
for different regions as well.
Now these are Double-Shot PBT keycaps, which means they're
thicker, and they're designed to last for longer.
So these are 1.5 millimeters Double-Shot
and you'll be able to see some of that as a box.
It basically has a layer on the inside.
And you can really see the quality of these when you're using them.
And I'll show you
a bit later on what that looks like with the lighting on as well.
So stick with me for
that.
Included in the box, you get the Keycaps, a Keycap puller, and some O rings that allow
you to dampen the sound.
So you can install these if you want to make your keys quieter.
So not only are these mods a brilliant way to improve the look and feel or change it
or customize the look and feel of your keyboard, but you can also quiet it down as well with
those O ring dampeners which is pretty interesting.
And the quality is obviously undeniable.
Now
this is with the K65 RGB Mini but you can also use these Keycaps with any other Corsair
keyboard in recent setups that all run with a standard bottom row.
So for example, the
K100, this would work with, any of the more modern versions.
Older Corsairs, their keyboards
didn't have a standard bottom row.
And this is something a lot of companies are moving
towards, Razor, for example has also got a standard bottom row recently.
So you can use
your own custom key sets and Corsair has a number of colors that you can choose from.
Now, obviously, you're losing the fancy spacebar on the K65 RGB Mini, which is a shame, but
you can customize the look and feel of it and get a pretty awesome looking keyboard
out of it.
I'm obviously throwing on a lot of different colors in each of these packs,
as I said is around 30 pounds or $30.
So it would cost a lot if you wanted to go for a
multi color layout like I'm doing.
But you could just buy one and throw it in there mix
in with the black that's already there, or a couple of colors and just create a really
nice look.
Now, I'm showing off the various colors here in this video but I wanted to
talk about what my favorite ones are.
And I think that the green and the blue and the
white are probably the nicest look in my opinion.
As you can see from the lettering on the white,
for example that stands out and it's really clear.
One thing I noticed with the blue isn't
as clear and you might see some of that in here.
The lettering is a bit difficult to
see on the blue, which is a shame.
The overall color of it, however, really looks nice, it's
a really nice looking one.
But you can see as the white drops in here, you can see the
lettering standing a lot more clearly.
Obviously being Double-Shot, they don't quite let as
much light through as standard non Double-Shot keycaps.
However, the ones on the K65 RGB
Mini, the black ones are already Double-Shot anyway.
So the lighting still looks great.
And as I said, I'll show you that in a second.
Again, the white, the green, and the pink
have quite visible lettering.
Under this light and in the video, you can see the red lettering
stands out quite a bit, but I felt like the white and the green were probably the best
and the blue is the worst.
However, in terms of colors, I really think the blue looks fantastic.
The green looks really nice as well.
And here you can see another shot of it.
Now these
are comfortable keycaps, durable and premium.
Also, you see in this setup that I've only
got the number keys installed, there are also function keys and every key that you'd need
for a full size keyboard all the way down to 60%.
So you can basically install whatever
you want on the keyboard that you happen to have.
If you happen to have another keyboard
that isn't corsair, As long as it has a standard bottom row you should be good to go.
But the
end result is a really nice looking finish.
Now I've done a behind the scenes video on
how I did the stop motion on this.
If you're interested in checking that out, please look
at the links in the description.
It took me a long time.
It's been about eight hours.
But with all the keycaps in it was quite complicated and hopefully the end result is satisfying.
Let me know in the comments if you've got any questions or anything you'd like to know,
you can see a nice shot of the RGB lighting here with it plugged in, you can see the lettering
certainly shows up a lot more once it's plugged in and running, but in normal conditions with
that lighting off it's not quite as easy to see.
However, all in all a fantastic look
and feel and a really great upgrade to an already awesome keyboard.
