MX compatible 5-pin hot-swappable sockets for changing out mechanical switches Standard bottom row design enables installation of any standard aftermarket keycaps Durable aluminum top plate with a low-profile, minimalist design CAM-powered and easy-to-customize per-key RGB, macro control, and lighting effects with four onboard profiles Removable USB-C cable – ready for customized cables The Function keyboard comes in three variations - a full size keyboard, a tenkeyless verion and this, MiniTKL. Which essentially crams all the 87 keys into a smaller frame. Making it more like a 65% keyboard but without losing any keys. Which is interesting. Highlights for me: Interesting layout and design Onboard memory for four profiles which you can switch between using FN and 1,2,3 or 4 Onboard lighting with FN and F1, F2, F3 and F4 Dedicated volume wheel, windows key disable and brightness button on the left Eye-pleasing RGB Hot-swappable design which works with both three and five pin switches. Lowlights: Those buttons on the left are too easy to press Specs: Key Specs Dimension 338.5 x 123.4 x 40.3 mm Weight (Keyboard) 718 g Top Plate Material Aluminium Wrist Rest Not Included Switches Mechanical Key Switches Hot-swappable Gateron Linear Red Switch Rating 50 Million Keypresses Lighting Per-key RGB Compatibility 5-pin Cherry MX Switches N-key Rollover Yes Anti-Ghosting Yes Keycaps Profile OEM Material ABS plastic Shine-through Yes Software On Board Profile Memory 1 Default + 4 Customizable Profiles (using CAM Software) System OS PC / Windows 10, Windows 11 Gateron Linear Red specs: Actuation Force Medium Tactile Method None Tactile Peak Force None Actuation Force ~43 gf Bottom-Out Force ~55 gf Spring Force ~55 gf Overall travel ~4 mm Tactile event None Actuation ~2.4 mm Cross-point Unplated cross-point #NZXT #Keyboards Related watching: Corsair PBT double-shot keycaps are awesome https://youtu.be/njq64K9MpeM Corsair PBT keycap unboxing and installing on K65 Mini and Roccat Pyro https://youtu.be/-HAjynEiS_k The Royal Kludge RK84 upgraded with Novelkeys creams https://youtu.be/P9O57sq-4mU I've used various tools here including: The keyswitches - https://kbdfans.com/products/zealios-tealios-zilents?variant=28744897232944 Glorious G-Lube - https://www.pcgamingrace.com/products/glorious-lube-g-lube TsungUP Switch Tester Switch Opener Lubing Station https://amzn.to/3adv4Hc This is the switch tester I used https://kbdfans.com/products/kailh-box-14-switches-tester Watch the Taeha Types video on lubing switches here https://youtu.be/44Wv4OGdmu4 🏆Big thanks to my super awesome YouTube members: Meatykeyboard, Rawrr483, SirSpawnsALot, Beaster Bunny, DStarastins, Aaron Yarden, Geralt of Rivia and you? 🏆 🔫Sub to my gaming channel🔫https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2eHpDRz4HCpDtAhXIL7cMg Come check me out on Twitch - https://www.twitch.tv/provokedprawn Join my Discord to keep up to date or ask questions https://discord.gg/TCWQqb4 Follow on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/TheProvokedPrawn/ Read this far?
