NZXT Function MiniTKL

NZXT's Function mechanical keyboards bring hot-swappable switches to the mainstream market in three sizes with plenty of customization options. The Function MiniTKL model delivers an extra column of keys while being just slightly larger than a 75% model. But if you aren't interested in swapping in other switches, there are better options available for less money.

Product details

  • COMPACT WITHOUT COMPROMISE: The MiniTKL packs every key of a tenkeyless keyboard—including the function row and arrow keys—into the smallest form factor possible.
  • HIGH SPEED, HOT SWAP: Gateron Red linear mechanical switches are fast, lightweight, and quiet—making them ideal for gaming. Easily swap to other switches for future customization.
  • SATISFYINGLY SMOOTH: Pre-lubricated switches, stabilizers, and sound-dampening foam make every keypress feel and sound smooth—no loud clacking or high-pitched ringing.
  • SLEEK AND STRONG: Function’s top plate is made of aerospace-grade aluminum for a beautifully durable finish.
  • CUSTOMIZE WITH CAM: Control per-key RGB lighting, program macros, and create onboard profiles using NZXT CAM software.
