NZXT FUNCTION, MINITKL & TENKEYLESS Mechanical Keyboard Review

A Closer Look – TENKEYLESS

The TENKEYLESS is a lovely looking thing, and well, it doesn’t take a genius among you at this point to see it’s the same keyboard as the FUNCTION, but they’ve put it to the guillotine and lopped off the number pad.

Again, I have the white version at my disposal, but like the FUNCTION, it will be available in black too. Which would you choose? Personally, I would need the black one, but I’m falling for this white finish, it’s very attractive.

So the number pad is gone, as you can see, not really a lot to say beyond “bye-bye”.

The space for the NZXT logo is gone too, so they’ve moved that, as well as the caps and scroll lock LED indicators to above the arrow keys.

I love that they’ve kept the same proportions overall though, this really is the same keyboard minus the pad. The same slim bezels, no tinkering with anything really. With that in mind, I wouldn’t mind the full-size one on my desk and the TKL for travelling with.

Again, down the left side, you have the volume wheel and those three control buttons.

The Type-C connection at the back is in the same place as the full-size model too.

The only other major difference is the wrist rest. Sure, it’s the same design, but it’s obviously a little narrower to suit the size of the TENKEYLESS model.
