Videogames peripheral brand Razer sort of entered the keyboard enthusiast space with the BlackWidow V4 75% back in 2023, and even introduced a Barebones version of it last year. Now, the company has launched a new line that is “designed for enthusiasts who care about how every keystroke sounds, feels, and performs”, along with the tagline “Your Board, Your Rules”. It’s called the Reclusa line, and its first member is the Reclusa X Mini 65%.
The Razer Reclusa X Mini 65% is “designed to be enjoyed from day one and customised when the time feels right”, as the brand puts it. As you’d expect, it still comes with gaming-focused features, but they are not at the forefront of the product, as it instead puts “hot-swappable customisation” and “tuned acoustics” in the spotlight. It still comes with a tri-tone design by default, so it’s immediately visually striking before you dive into swapping parts out.
That being said, the Razer Reclusa X Mini 65% does come with the brand’s own Orange switches by default, with the closest Cherry MX equivalent being Brown switches. The company does say that, in its Gen-3 iteration, the switches are quieter while still delivering a satisfying tactile bump. The keyboard uses dual-layer silicone dampening to reduce unwanted resonance and hollow noise, as well as enhancing “the feel and sound of every keystroke”.
Of course, if the strange in-between of tactile but silent switches doesn’t sit right with you, the hot-swappable PCB makes it compatible with most industry-standard three- and five-pin mechanical switches. Finally, the keyboard is factory-lubricated for smoother, more consistent keypresses if you don’t intend to make any immediate modifications.

The Razer Reclusa X Mini 65% comes in at RM239, making it the most affordable mechanical keyboard by the brand. That said, this is likely due to X, Mini, and 65% parts of the keyboard, rather than an indication as to what to expect from the Reclusa line as a whole. Either way, you can get it now from retailers as well as the company’s own online store.
