Razer had a bountiful display of products to show at Gamescom 2026, many of which come with substantial price tags. However, my eyes lit up when I saw the new Razer Reclusa X Mini 65% keyboard<\/a>, especially as it’s got a $50\/\u00a360 MSRP.<\/p>\n

I picked it up and twisted it around in my hands, expecting it to bend like a piece of cardboard thanks to some budget materials. Nope, it seems like a very solidly-built device\u2014which is pretty impressive given the affordable price tag.<\/p>\n

The doubleshot ABS keycaps, in combination with Razer’s Gen-3 orange tactile switches<\/a>, feel downright high-end. It makes a good noise, too, producing the sort of weighty thock I normally associate with much more expensive keebs. I’ve used enough $50 boards to know that you usually don’t get a whole lot for your cash, but this one feels like a proper enthusiast offering\u2014even if it does come in a shrunken 65% form factor.<\/p>\n
