100% anti-ghosting and full n-key rollover over USB are necessary for gaming nowadays, and the K65 RGB Pro Mini has got you covered. Another awesome feature is the option to synchronize the lighting effects with any other compatible Corsair RGB gear, like a mouse or a headset (but this has already become the standard with Corsair).
