Acer Nitro TKL gaming keyboard NKW120 - (TenKeyLess, RGB lighting, USB, black)

No complaints!

It's nice, but cheaper rebadged versions of this exact board are available elsewhere.This isn't my main keyboard. This is my second keyboard for armchair/sofa purposes.I wanted a cheap wireless keyboard with full-size keys and backlighting, but they cost more $$$, so I bought a USB extension cable and this.I like typing on it - physically everything is chunky and nice about this board. The membrane keys are a bit heavy (a bit too much resistance) but the keys are a great size.I also wanted backlighting, but the backlighting here is not great. The images attached to this amazon listing are misleading. The fourth and fifth images clearly show the backlight colours in different places when compared to the first three images - this is wrong. The backlight colours do not move, and only appear in the same place, as shown in the first three images attached to this amazon listing. This means you have one side of the keyboard always green, one side always purple, etc. The left side of the board is nicely lit by the green backlighting. The right side of the main keyboard is red and pink, and not very easy to read. The blue arrow keys on the far right side are nicely lit.The backlight options are:OffOn (three brightness levels)PulsingI am not impressed by the backlighting, but the keys are just where I want them and typing is fine so I enjoy typing in the dark with this keyboard.The games store Game here in the UK has this exact board for sale under the Trust gaming brand ("Gaming X Trust" or something) for £22.99, and not even in a sale price or anything, it is just cheaper for the same board.Overall, I enjoy using this odd keyboard. I took a chance and I'll keep it and use it every day until it breaks. I do not recommend it for the money.

Excellent Acer keyboard and mouse, easy to install, and great value for money

perfect in every way.

Bought this keyboard under the knowledge that in the images it was important for me to get a keyboard with the large shift key, but when the product arrived it was not as indicated in the pictures

This is a good quality keyboard aimed at gamers but I am a little unsure why! If it is the back-lighting that creates the interest then it seems to be a rather cosmetic selling point. As the instruction manual included in the package is 2 very small pages for each language, the amount of detail about the keyboard functions is minimal. So I tested this keyboard for functionality on a Windows 11 machine and it works well. The membrane keyboard feels good when typing but I would constantly reach for a numeric keypad that feels like it is meant to be there - but is not! In the general area of where a numeric pad should be, is three lights for caps lock, screen lock and windows lock (?!) - the latter I found by searching the keyboard for a lock icon. Still no idea what it does - not explained in the manual and has to be turned on using the function key!At a price of £45.99 (at time of review) it is what I would expect for a gaming keyboard but it just seems more like a standard Windows keyboard (minus the numeric pad) with some backlighting!

Acer Nitro keyboard NKW120The keyboard is a British layout and has a solid, weight feel to it. It shouldn't move around in use.The keys are the noisy click type that used to be common. The keys feel good and have a positive action in use. Media and other short-cut controls are available via the F keys by holding the Fn key down at the same time as pressing the relevant F key. There is no way to customise these keys.The keyboard has fixed colour backlighting over the RGB spectrum. The colours cannot be changed. Pressing the cog key toggles the LEDs on and off. The LED brightness can be adjusted by holding down Fn and pressing Page Up or Page Down. This cycles through Off, 50%, 75%, 100%.I am writing this review using the Nitro keyboard and, once I had adjusted to the difference from my usual keyboard, using it is OK. I do miss the number pad though.The keys IDs are faint and may be hard to read if the LEDs are switched off.This keyboard is shown on the listing as a US layout and the box the keyboard is packaged in shows US layout picture, although the actual keyboard is a British layout (which was what I wanted). I assume that the NKW120 model no. means British model.This Acer keyboard looks exactly the same as a that of a well-known UK PC peripherals company. Presumably it is the same keyboard badged according to the supplier.
