Fnatic STREAK65 LP White | Compact RGB Gaming Mechanical

Was in the market for a 65% keyboard and after watching countless reviews and top x lists, I settled on this little guy. Best keyboard I’ve ever owned with the only downside being it’s in US layout instead of UK. Not a big deal for people who are used to typing quickly or touch type.

Will be buying more FNATIC gear in the future.

Mega !! Mehr gibt es nicht zu sagen , Top Qualitt, Top Verarbeitung, Top Tasten diese sind aus Double PBT gefertigt ! Bei der normalen Version Streak65 sind ABS …

I’ve went through about 10 or so gaming keyboards, and this is by far my favourite one. I love how compact everything is, and the RGB options are fantastic aswell

The first time I unboxed a new keyboard and instantly loved the feel. Specifically the low profile, short travel distance and fast multi presses is exactly what I wanted. Just perfect. Quality is obviously great. If you’re like me who likes putting O-rings in your keyboard + linear speed switch, then this is just perfect for you.

Rgb works when the computer is off and lights up the room. I love the design very slick and clean. What a unique keyboard!!

miniStreak with Cherry Silent Red

I don’t use the num pad on a keyboard and the extra width just forces my mouse further to the right, which is uncomfortable so I decided to try a TKL. That was four years ago, this will be my third TKL and the second miniStreak.

Presentation is OK but it doesn’t scream “bling” at you.

The keyboard looks and feels less impressive than something like a Corsair, but it is really solid. I guess that may be it’s lack of weight that makes it feel a bit cheaper than it is. Most other mechanical keyboards are heavier, not that it affects performance.

The cable clips in to the keyboard either way up, which is a really nice touch. No struggling to see which way it goes. It’s also very long. About seven feet long, which is very handy.

You need a wrist rest about 37cm long for the miniStreak

I like a keyboard to be quiet so I wanted Silent Red. The Silent Red Keys are lovely. They really are a lot quieter than any of the other keys and a huge difference from normal Cherry Reds. At first they felt a little strange compared to other ( non silent ) switches, but it only took a few days to adjust to them. Now they feel completely normal. Absolutely disagree with reviewers who say this and that are better or worse. It’s a very personal thing. If you want silent then I can’t recommended the Silent Red highly enough.

The LED lighting is actually much better than I thought it would be. There is nothing like as much light leakage as a Corsair. Corsair it’s a bit difficult to see the characters on the keys because the amount of glow coming from underneath. Surprisingly this keyboard is on the same level as the Razer, in that the light leakage really isn’t that bad at all. Logitech of course has absolutely no light leakage, only the characters are lit, but the fnatic comes in a good second and perfectly suitable for night time playing. The shift characters are not so well lit, but this is a normal thing with Cherry keys.

The keyboard has a label stuck on the space-bar to tell you where to get the software. The software is really nice. It is not the most comprehensive, but it is just so intuitive and easy. I like Competition mode. When selected, this disables useless keys and sets the keyboard to one colour. I would like to see the ability to disable keys added to the normal operation though, I mean all “locks” should be set to off! One thing that is nice is that they keyboard remembers everything set in the software. You don’t need to run the software in the background all the time.

All in all this is a fantastic piece of kit. I think it lacks a certain something that makes it really stand out. The “wow” factor. But if you want performance at a reasonable cost, then this is for you.

I have been using a FNATIC for more than three years now and it hasn’t missed a beat. It gets long daily use. The keys show no sign of damage, paint wearing off, etc. I just bought a second because they went on sale and I wanted a second to keep one in reserve should anything happen to this one. I need to pull the keys off the old one and give it a good cleaning! One thing about these keyboards is the keys are mounted on the base not recessed in to it. So there are no nasty little spaces muck can get in. Well, there is one, but that’s all. So it’s really, really easy to clean them. If you are like me and often eat your lunch sat at the PC then that’s seriously important! You don’t want your keyboard inner workings stuffed wit tuna.

Very highly recommended.

Che devo dire, un’ottima tastiera, molto bella e luminosa, con i tasti sottili abbastanza comodi anche per l’uso con le unghie lunghe. L’unica pecca – la descrizione, che mi ha ingannato con le foto senza filo e la dicitura “fast charging”. Solo dopo aver connesso la tastiera ho scoperto che non wireless, come la stavo cercando:( Peccato, perch sarebbe stata perfetta per me

I love mechanical but I don’t like worrying about waking the neighbours with the clickity clack. Silent keys are essential to me and these are very good. No its not as quiet as membrane but once you go mechanical you can’t go back so its cherry silent or Kailh pink silent switches (which I’ve only heard of but not used myself)

Tenkeyless is very nice, I never used the numpad anyway, and now I have more desk room on a very small desk.

Marking a star down for the relative dearth of RGB pattern options is harsh. But its a crowded market and why shouldn’t we ask for perfection? especially when this is something that could be fixed via software, at least the software seems stable and isn’t intrusive *glares at Razer*.

Could possibly be improved by some kind of wrist rest, but I do understand a tenkeyless coming with a wrist rest is a bit counter intuitive.

It is by far the best keyboard I had. I moved from a Microsoft Surface Keyboard and the Fnatic streak65 is a real game changer.

Its the second time i have purchased this keyboard i love it because is silent so i can game hours during night without issue of noise

Great value for money, well built and a comfortable low profile keyboard. Would definitely recommend!

Updating this review based on the fact I bought both of these versions plus the brown switch ‘classic’ version and just got the updated red switch version today.

First of all, I’m going to say Fnatic I’m disappointed. Your original brown/blue switch variety keyboards are no longer stocked but they came with a wrist rest and fnatic branded stickers in the box. This second generation set is lacking and tells you they are now extras but they cost the same amount of money as before.

Secondly, I really wish Fnatic would make this keyboard in a low profile version like they have with the Fnatic Streak65 (which I also owned but returned due to bad keybinding options). I loved the low profile streak65 to type on but the lack of keys was detrimental to what I needed it for. You also don’t need a wrist rest with it.

The ministreak however is my favourite shape with the TKL layout, particularly for games like League of Legends where you really could use the F keys to look around the map plus the delete key was weird on the 65 version.

The ministreak lighting isn’t spectacular compared to some others but it’s much better than Corsair. White for example is just made from really light blue. Purple is just pink and really hard to get accurate without dulling out.

Finally, the typing experience. That’s why you are here after all. So I personally prefer the original brown switches and I’ve always preferred those over reds and silvers but the silvers were quite possibly the worst feeling switches I’ve ever used. I sent that version back the day I got it. The red switches are better in my opinion but you should listen to the sounds on YouTube to get a better idea for yourself before purchase. One important thing to note is with the silvers I had major problems with keys not being detected when I pressed it. I’ve never had that before and considering I bottom out the keys this was really weird for a high activation point switch. The reds don’t have this issue.

I still much prefer the brown key version for now unless they do a low profile version but I’ll keep the red as I don’t have the brown anymore and I can’t get hold of one. Without going for the ridiculously expensive logitech keyboard at 200, I’d say this is probably the best keyboard on the market right now overall if you don’t need music controls direct.

Great little keyboard a massive space saver, great feel even the lightest touch can press the key so need to get used to t but very happy with my purchase.
