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

-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 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.

Bought this on special, has premium packaging, its alot smaller than my full k55 and frees up alot of space for my mouse.
The red gaterons sound great in my opinion, deep and alot more responsive to input than my membrane keyboard, space bar is a little rattly
But beggars cant be choosers. Bought this on special, has premium packaging, its alot smaller than my full k55 and frees up alot of space for my mouse.

Pros:

- Fast, clicky and easy to use
- RGB is stored on device once set so no hassle with NZXT software

Con:

- On MacOS Function only worked on one side natively - needed to assign the windows button to work with Fn key Pros:

I love how my keyboard arrived just two days after ordering online, and I really appreciate the amount of protection they used to keep it safe during shipping. The keyboard works amazingly well, is very fast, and the RGB lighting looks great.

I have nothing but praise for this keyboard. I went from using a 30$ keyboard with blue switches to this keyboard and instantly felt improvement in my games. This keyboard is amazing for price to performance, would 100% recommend! I have nothing but praise for this keyboard.

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 ).

Cons:
