Note: <\/i><\/b>This article has been updated with remarks from Razer regarding switch compatibility.<\/i><\/p>\n
It\u2019s not often that Razer<\/b> releases a keyboard releases a keyboard outside of its prolific and BlackWidow and Huntsman lineup, but this is an exception. The company has released the Reclusa Mini 65%<\/b>, a (you guessed it) 65% keyboard that\u2019s part of Razer\u2019s new Reclusa lineup.<\/p>\n
The Reclusa Mini 65% is the second in the Reclusa series, joining the more affordable Reclusa X Mini 65%. The main difference between the two boards is the switch choice that Razer has gone for \u2013 while the Reclusa X uses mechanical switches, the Reclusa Mini 65% uses magnetic hall effect switches<\/b>.<\/p>\n
Specifically, it\u2019s the same hall effect switches as the recently released Huntsman V3 HE, featuring adjustable actuation between 0.1 to 4.0mm<\/b> and a 40g actuation force<\/b>. Being an analog switch, it also features rapid trigger, Razer Snap Tap, Razer Snap Flex and Dual-Keypress Priority.<\/p>\n The Reclusa Mini 65% features hall effect switches, becoming the second Razer board to do so since the Huntsman V3 HE.<\/p>\n Image: Razer<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Razer also stated that these hall effect switches are hot-swappable<\/b>. That\u2019s usually the case with hall effect boards, as the hall sensor in a PCB doesn\u2019t inherently require a soldered connection with a magnetic switch to work. But it\u2019s not something to take for granted with every hall effect keyboard, as the Razer explicitly discourages users from swapping the switches on its Huntsman V3 HE boards.<\/p>\n Razer specifically states that the PCB on the Reclusa Mini 65% can work with third-party hall effect switches<\/b> (or non-Razer HE switches, in other words). But it\u2019s worth noting that switch compatibility might not be universal, depending on factors such as the polarity of the switch\u2019s magnets, and the position of those magnets.<\/p>\n When we asked Razer about switch compatibility, we were told that \u201cmost third-party magnetic switches are compatible\u201d, and that Razer Synapse\u2019s Calibration on Demand function will calibrate the switch to work with the PCB. Razer will share a list of compatible hall effect siwtches in the near future.<\/p>\n Apart from the switches, the Reclusa Mini also includes a series of sound dampening materials<\/b> between the switches and the case. This includes IXPE switch foam, a silicone plate dampener, an IXPE foam sheet and silicone case foam.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Reclusa Mini 65% also uses a PPS (polypropylene sulfide) plate. Similar to polycarbonate and POM, it\u2019s a plastic plate that should offer some flex and bounciness when typing.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Reclusa Mini features multiple dampening layers. The board also features a multi-function dial for things like brightness and volume control.<\/p>\n Image: Razer<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Finally, the Reclusa Mini 65% supports connectivity via Bluetooth, 2.4GHz (including Razer HyperSpeed Wireless) and USB-C, the last of which enables an 8,000Hz polling rate<\/b>. The keycaps are doubleshot ABS, and the board also supports Razer Chroma RGB.<\/p>\n Razer\u2019s Reclusa Mini 65% keyboard is available now at S$189<\/b>. You can purchase it on Razer\u2019s website, as well as RazerStores and select retailers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nAvailability and Pricing<\/h2>\n
