NZXT Mini TKL Compact Mechanical Keyboard - Black

Pros
-Hot swappable switches
-Has a extra f13 key you can assign to anything you like
-Detachable usb c cable
-2 levels of adjustable height angle
-Convenient volume wheel on the left side
-4 on board profile that hold memory, meaning they are saved on the keyboard itself.
-One of the cheapest right out of the box mechnical keyboards on the market that has all of the said above.

Cons
-The software 'NZXT Cam' is terrible. Windows defender even warns me about poor optimisation, after checking task manager just having it open in the background hogs 10% cpu usage. This is with a r7 5700x. Luckily you dont need to keep NZXT Cam running ...view more Pros

This is with a r7 5700x. Luckily you dont need to keep NZXT Cam running in the background at all times you only need to open it to change the RGB lightning then you can close it. The settings will be stored inside the keyboard itself.
-Another weird thing was with the stablisers, they were sort of rattlely. After swapping them around i.e. taking the stabliser from the shift key and putting it in the enter key, I was able to reduce some of the rattle noise by a bit. But in the end I ended up going for after market ones.

Conclusion
-NZXT made this keyboard with the intention of customizability, so thats exactly what I did when I purchased it. Check my included picture.

Is the mos comfortable keyboard!!! Really good Is the mos comfortable keyboard!!! Really good

Most of the time I get it right, but this is one time I didn't really get what I was after. Nobody's fault bar my own... Don't get me wrong, this a really well built RGB gaming keyboard,,, but but but I wished I had got the larger model with the numerical keypad to the right. I'm getting a bit frustrated without the number keypad, so I guess I'll have to buy the larger model... Already from my wants and needs it is still a really nice RGB gaming keyboard Most of the time I get it right, but this is one time I didn't really get what I was after. Nobody's fault bar my own...

This Keyboard is great to type on and feels very comfortable to use for typing and Gaming use.
I see this as a perfect keyboard to use if you are looking to get into mechanical keyboards by adding your own touch to it ( key caps , and different switches to your liking ).

Good keyboard, would buy again. Good keyboard, would buy again.

This is a really good keyboard for the price. The RGB is very good aswell. The keys could use more stabilizing and the product seems a bit cheaper for the price but overall very good. been using it for about 2/3 weeks. This is a really good keyboard for the price.

The keyboard was good, felt good, sounds good, decent backlight and a handy volume button. But the NZXT CAM app for all the customizations is rubbish.
