INTRODUCTION
The release of Grand Theft Auto V was enough for us to drop every review unrelated to gaming (ok not every single one but most) and focus our efforts in testing many of the available gaming peripherals we have here while playing this awesome game. Personally i have to say that i expected just a bit more from Rockstar especially since this is a 60GB game but still this past week flew by extremely fast thanks to it. Anyways i really don't know how many of you out there have limited space on your desks or how many attend LAN events but just like myself once (not too long ago) i imagine that in order to save space one of the first things that comes in mind is getting a more compact keyboard. Now finding a compact keyboard in the market is not that hard but finding a compact gaming keyboard with mechanical switches is not what I’d call easy, not if you're looking for one by one of the leading manufacturers. Tt eSPORTS is one of those companies that need no introductions and today we're taking a look at their Poseidon ZX Mechanical Gaming Keyboard.
“Challenge is the game” highlights the philosophy to bring out gamers’ addiction in gaming and the ambition of reaching to the extreme. Tt eSPORTS, a gaming obsessed division from Thermaltake, is uniting gamers from all over the world in a unique & fascinating eSPORTS culture, inherited the spirits of Thermaltake, is an energetic, powerful, bold and intelligent challenger who never says “no” to the extreme competition. We do not only provide gamers the ultimate gaming gears but also fulfills the passion to achieve the ultimate success. Thermaltake has been a well-known brand in the gaming & DIY market for PC Chassis, Coolers and Power Supplies PSU for many years. The brand personality of unique, aggressive, vivid and stylish makes Thermaltake an expert in creating exciting things and fascinating environment for gamers and enthusiasts. Tt eSPORTS inherited the brand personality with unique and creative design by observing users’ behaviors and requirements. The fan cooling design on Tt eSPORTS Challenger keyboard demonstrate the brand spirit. It is the worldwide first keyboard with fan cooling function that could dry your hand sweats and blow tension away during cut-throat competition.
The Poseidon ZX is a tenkeyless (no numeric keypad thus roughly 20% smaller compared to regular size keyboards) keyboard which just like several other models in the Poseidon line of mechanical gaming keyboards by Tt eSPORTS wears switches by Kailh. Up until recently the first choice for manufacturers would be to use mechanical switches by Cherry but thanks to a shortage they had a while ago (not any more) Kailh has gained ground so we've seen their switches in many models lately (rated at 50 million keystrokes i don't see why not). The Poseidon ZX also features full back-light 4 level illumination for the keys, full N-Key Rollover (NKRO), multimedia keys and is covered by a 5 year warranty.
