My MINI Review
Well to start off I'm really impressed. I bought my gun used after about 5 or so cases so it is broken in a bit.
Size
Like Pizza said pictures don't do this thing justice, it's just awesomely small and cool. With a tank, hopper, and the gun it feels like a part of you. I have decent sized hands and it feels perfect. No complaints. This gun feels really natural also with you thumb next to the feedneck.
Weight
Um, light?
Speed
I shot it in two modes, Semi and Milenium(8 bps then ramp to 20) and this thing is quick. The trigger is pretty nice but I havn't really messed with it much. Once I got some good paint and figured everything out it didn't chop at all and shot flawlessly.
Accuracy
Pretty damn good for a stock barrel, was using RPS Big Ball. My friend has a Ion with a CP barrel and it shot just as good if not better so I'm impressed.
Board
I really don't find the board very complicated. It can be a pain because you have to take off the foregrip cover to get to the board to change it but other than not no complaints. Has four modes, NXL, PSP, Semi, and Millennium so you can do just about what ever you want to do with it. Capped at 20 BPS which I really don't care past 15.
Kick
Definitely noticable but not an issue. My friends PMR kicks a lot more.
Efficiency
Not sure yet, previous owner said about 9 pods with a 68/45.
Maintnence
Very simple, take about one screw and you have access to the bolt and bolt guide, throw a little lube on there and your good to go.
Consistency
-+ 3 over chrono
If you looking for something Light, Small, Quick, and cost efficient, this is definitely the way to go.

Other than its inability to shoot Brass Eagle blue streak paint that is years old and are so swelled that half of them only get about halfway through the feedneck, nope.
I love this thing. Taking it out this weekend to get some games in and some consistency and efficiency ratings.

Of course. My friends Ion feels like a brick in comparison.

Not true. Yes there were some problems with the first few, but the problem has been fixed with at first the 1.2 board and now the new poppets(caused all the blowback problems). In the case that your Mini does go down, KEE stands by their product 100% and have no problem fixing your gun. Yes there have been a few issues with the Minis but a lot of them are also user error. You have to expect some bugs, remember this is the first gun of its kind.

I shot my friends PMR. The only thing I like better about the PMR is that it is much easier to be upgraded. Stock, my MINI outperforms the PMR in EVERY WAY.

It varies from Mini to Mini. Some get 1500+, others get half that. Most likely people just don't know how to setup their guns.
