Enter the Corsair K65 Plus, the newest and once again confusingly named keyboard from Corsair. Although the name might suggest that the K65 Plus is a 65% board 'plus' some extras, it's actually just a 75% keyboard. Don't hold the backwards nomenclature against it, though. There's otherwise a heck of a lot to like about this compact keyboard. In a world where almost all the best wireless gaming keyboards have hundreds of hours of battery life, hot-swappable key switches and dedicated media controls, it'll have to pull something pretty special to get on the list, though.
Out of the box the K65 Plus looks like a lot of the other compact boards we've put on our best of list. It's not plagued with so much of the gamery aesthetic that some boards are, as it comes with a two-tone grey keycap set, and a backplate and spacebar decorated with Corsair's subtle polygonal pattern. There's a touch of metallic silver with the escape key—adorned with the Corsair ship logo—and a swanky metal dial in the top right that gives it some extra flair. You can tell it's going to be a high-end board just from the aesthetic, but there's more hiding under the hood.
