The Roccat Magma Mini gaming keyboard is the smaller brother to the full-sized Magma keyboard that we previously reviewed. The Mini’s defining characteristics are:
- Membrane keyboard
- 60% size
- IP33 water/dust resistant
- 20-key rollover
- Anti-ghosting
- 5 zone RGB lights
- 2 year warranty
I personally think it’s built like a tank. I’m not afraid to toss it into my bag or type on it with grubby, potato chip eating fingers. I can easily wipe off the grease or accidentally spilt liquid since it’s water and dust resistant.
It’s built for gamers, not typers. If you’re mostly a spreadsheet or documents person, you may want to pass on this (reasons stated in the video).

How to use arrow keys without holding down [Fn]
This video shows you how to lock the arrow/cursor keys – no more holding down the [Fn]. There is a downside to this however…
The “/” key requires two simultaneous key taps.
The “?” requires three simultaneous keytaps (three specific keys).
All this is demonstrated in the video above.
