Razer has expanded its compact keyboard lineup with the Reclusa Mini 65%, a gaming keyboard built around magnetic Hall effect switches. The model is the second product in the Reclusa family, following the mechanical-switch Reclusa X Mini 65%, and becomes only the second Razer keyboard to use this type of switch after the Huntsman V3 HE.
The new board uses the same Hall effect switch design as the Huntsman V3 HE. Razer lists adjustable actuation from 0.1 mm to 4.0 mm, with an actuation force of 40 g. Unlike conventional mechanical switches, Hall effect designs detect changes in a magnetic field, allowing the keyboard to measure how far a key is pressed rather than relying only on a fixed electrical contact.
Adjustable actuation and rapid trigger functions
The Reclusa Mini 65% supports several features aimed at players who want to customize key response for competitive games. These include rapid trigger, Razer Snap Tap, Razer Snap Flex and Dual-Keypress Priority. The adjustable actuation range allows users to set when a key registers, while rapid trigger is designed around changing the activation point as the key moves.
- Layout: 65%
- Switch type: Magnetic Hall effect
- Actuation range: 0.1 mm to 4.0 mm
- Actuation force: 40 g
- Switch replacement: Hot-swappable, including support for third-party Hall effect switches
Razer also says the keyboard’s printed circuit board can work with third-party Hall effect switches. That gives owners more flexibility than a board restricted to the manufacturer’s own replacements. Compatibility is not necessarily universal, however. The behavior of a replacement depends on details such as the polarity of its magnets and where those magnets sit inside the switch.
The company’s position also distinguishes the Reclusa Mini 65% from the Huntsman V3 HE. Razer has discouraged users from replacing the switches on the Huntsman V3 HE, while the Reclusa Mini 65% is explicitly described as compatible with non-Razer Hall effect switches. That difference may matter to keyboard users in the Philippines and Southeast Asia who maintain their own peripherals or source replacement parts from specialist sellers.
Sound-dampening materials inside the case
Beyond its magnetic switches, the Reclusa Mini 65% uses several layers intended to reduce sound inside the keyboard. Razer lists an IXPE switch foam layer, a silicone plate dampener, an IXPE foam sheet and silicone case foam. The keyboard also uses a PPS, or polypropylene sulfide, plate. PPS is another plate material used in custom and gaming keyboards alongside options such as polycarbonate and POM.
Razer has positioned the Reclusa Mini 65% as a more feature-focused alternative to the Reclusa X Mini 65%, with the principal change being the move from mechanical switches to magnetic Hall effect hardware. The announcement identifies the switch functions, internal materials and replacement support, but does not establish a Philippine price or retail schedule.
