Hands-On Review: Apple Exclusive Corsair K65 Plus Keyboard and M75 Wireless Mouse

Have you spotted that stylish mechanical keyboard and gaming mouse featured in Apple’s lively M4 Mac mini advertisement? It turns out that these are exclusive limited-edition Corsair gaming products available solely through Apple. Recently, DMN had the opportunity to try out the K65 Plus keyboard and M75 Wireless mouse in Corsair’s exclusive white color.

Here’s a summary of insights and notes:

• The K65 mechanical keyboard has a solid weight that gives it a durable feel, while the K75 Wireless mouse is surprisingly light.
• Both devices charge via USB-C, with the mouse featuring a front-facing USB-C port, perfect for those who dislike having to charge their Magic Mouse from its bottom.
• Included wireless receivers can be conveniently stored in the peripherals. They are USB-A receivers, and an Anker adapter is provided in the package for USB-C compatibility. Bluetooth connectivity is reliable, but gamers will benefit from the quicker response time provided by the receivers.
• A long USB-C cable for charging or wired use is included by Corsair.
• The customizable knob on the K65 keyboard can be used to control volume or play/pause functions right out of the box.
• Both devices feature tasteful lighting effects, appealing to Windows gamers transitioning to the light side with the M4 Mac mini.

• A PC / Mac mode switcher is pre-set to Mac mode.
• F-row (F1-F12) and modifier keys are optimized for macOS and iPadOS in default Mac mode.
• The USB Type-A to Type-C cable has been upgraded to a USB Type-C to Type-C cable.

How is performance with the keyboard and mouse in daily activities? I plan to spend more time with both, but so far, I’ve enjoyed using them with my Mac mini. The keyboard is impressively stable and features the exact Mac layout I require. The mouse is extraordinarily light, making adjustments necessary to my cursor speed. Plus, the volume knob is a fun addition.
