Razer has announced and launched one of its most affordable and customizable mechanical gaming keyboards to date with the new Razer Reclusa X Mini 65%. Priced at $49.99 USD, it's the first keyboard in a new Reclusa lineup focused on customization, performance, and aesthetics.
The tri-tone design helps it stand out from other Razer keyboards, alongside the customization on offer. The Razer Reclusa X Mini 65% features a hot-swappable PCB compatible with 3-pin and 5-pin mechanical switches. Although it comes pre-installed with Razer Orange Tactile Mechanical Switches Gen-3, the hot-swappable design and touches like south-facing LEDs make it compatible with a wide range of switches and keycaps.
Although it sits on the affordable side for a mechanical gaming keyboard from Razer, the Razer Reclusa X Mini 65% is still tailor-made for enthusiasts. Construction-wise, it features two silicone damping layers to enhance acoustics and stability, while still supporting gaming-first features like Razer Snap Tap, Snap Flex, and Dual-Keypress Priority - stuff that you normally find on gaming keyboards with magnetic switches.
"The Reclusa X Mini 65% is our answer to enthusiasts who want a board that feels great from day one, and is still theirs to make their own," said Barrie Ooi, Head of PC Gaming Division at Razer. "It brings together the sound, feel, and control users expect from Razer, while opening the door to a more personal keyboard experience."
