Are NZXT's new gaming mouse and keyboards any good?
Starting with the Function keyboards and if you're a fan of volume control dials like I am, then these will likely find their way onto your shortlist already seeing as this is a relatively rare feature - even rarer on tenkeyless and mini TKL. It just saves using keyboard shortcuts or reaching for your speakers or Windows desktop volume controls....
The keys sound like a good idea, but I found it was quite easy to accidentally press them if you adjust the position of the keyboard, for instance between typing and gaming sessions so perhaps ergonomically, they don't make as much sense as you think they might.
They keyboards feature sturdy height adjustment arms, which allow for two additional raised positions as well as the default flat position. There's a generous amount of rubber on the underside so on a grippy surface, the Function keyboards feel well-planted.. Here you can pick your keyboard base using the three sizes mentioned above, add your chosen switch type as well as keycap and cable color.
The keyboards need a little work to be truly competitive, but do have some merits such as the volume dial, chassis build quality, removable switches and customization. The mouse, too, is a reasonable first effort, is well-made, light and comfortable. However, it's maybe not up to the standards of hardcore gamers and struggled on some surfaces too, which is maybe a tad underwhelming for a $70 mouse. I have no doubt that NZXT will view this as a starting point, though - at least I hope it will - as its cases and coolers regularly occupy top spots in recommendations, and rightly so. It's nearly there with its first lone foray into core peripherals, but not quite.
