Cougar Puri Mini Keyboard Review

mmorpg.com:

I’ve been reviewing Cougar Gaming products since 2018 and I have to say that it's been interesting to watch how they have developed and refined their peripherals over the years. Interestingly one of the first products I ever reviewed, the Puri TKL RGB Mechanical Keyboard , is still one of my favorite keyboards. 

In the past year or so there has been a push to refine and expand its product line and Cougar is both breaking into new areas like the Envision capture card as well as revisiting existing items in its robust catalog. The latter is what perked my interest as Cougar has recently released the Puri Mini , a 60% DSA Mechanical Gaming Keyboard. This Compact board is essentially the successor to the Puri TKL. Naturally, I was interested to take a look and see all it had to offer. Can it hold an RGB candle to the Puri TKL? Grab that coffee, kick back, and find out in our review of the Puri Mini from Cougar Gaming.    

The Cougar Puri Mini is a compact board. However, Cougar has worked hard to leverage every square millimeter of surface area to offer optimal key placement. Its compact form factor also means that there isn’t a whole lot of room for fancy design flourishes afforded larger boards. Despite this though, The Puri Mini manages to mirror many of the design aesthetics of its larger TKL counterpart in only 60% of the space. 

The board edge is marked with signature screw heads that double as magnetic anchor points for the included plastic dust cover. The aluminum faceplate has a brushed, textured finish while the keycaps have a nice two-tone grey and black theme. If you glance at the Puri Mini from an angle you can see the FN operation of each key as well. The underside includes a vibrant RGB underglow light
