Razer has released so many keyboards during 2026 that even I sometimes need a minute to remember which Huntsman does what.

I've reviewed the $499.99 Huntsman Signature Edition, the excellent Huntsman V3 Pro Low-Profile TKL, and more recently Razer's $139.99 Huntsman V3 HE Magnetic. The latter brought adjustable Hall Effect switches and Razer's increasingly sophisticated competitive gaming features to its flagship keyboard family.

And yet the Razer keyboard I keep coming back to isn't a Huntsman.

Razer first introduced this new enthusiast-focused family with the Reclusa X Mini 65%, a remarkably good little $49.99 keyboard with hot-swappable mechanical switches, dual-layer dampening, south-facing LEDs, and that distinctive black, white, and mint-green tri-tone design. I loved typing on it, and its price-to-quality ratio made it ridiculously easy to recommend.

At $129.99 (Best Buy or Razer.com), the Razer Reclusa Mini 65% costs $80 more, but Razer has stuffed most of its premium gaming technology inside while preserving what attracted me to the cheaper keyboard in the first place.

I've used it as my primary keyboard for two weeks. And despite having plenty of alternatives sitting nearby, I don't particularly want to switch back.

Razer had no input, nor did it see the contents of this review, prior to publication.

You still get the compact 65% layout, tri-tone keycaps, and bright mint accents that prevent this from becoming another anonymous black gaming rectangle. The lighting comes from south-facing per-key RGB LEDs rather than shine-through legends.

After two weeks as my primary keyboard, I don't want to take the Reclusa Mini 65% off my desk.
