NZXT's previous efforts in their Function line of keyboards has totalled some excellent all-round mechanical options with some solid enthusiast-level features. The older Function Mini TKL that Dave reviewed nearly three years ago impressed with its customisability and small form factor layout. This new version keeps some of the same features, although with the word 'Elite' now in the product title, it's perhaps clear to see where there are some differences.
Let's focus on some similarities, though. This new Function Elite MiniTKL retains the same convenient 75 percent layout, complete with a function row, arrow keys and single-column nav cluster on the right-hand side. It provides most of the fun of a more traditional TKL layout while giving the benefit of even more desk real estate for those big, sweeping mouse movements you might undertake in FPS titles such as Counter-Strike 2. It's easy to see why this has become such a popular layout among enthusiast folk like myself, simply on that basis.
