NZXT Announces New Elite Lineup
Today, NZXT has announced their new peripherals lineup. Dubbed the ‘Elite’ line, the brand has redesigned their keyboards, mice, microphones, and mousepads. They aim to offer high-performance peripherals with high-quality construction.
According to NZXT, ‘the new Elite lineup offers gamers of all levels enhanced performance and robust personalization options, all with a sleek aesthetic. This refreshed lineup includes a keyboard, mouse, microphone, and mousepad—each elevated with improved design and the latest in gaming technology. Together, they deliver a cohesive and high-quality gaming experience at an accessible price point.’
Function Elite MiniTKL
The Function Elite MiniTKL is a 75% (see: Keyboard Size Differences Explained) board and also NZXT’s first hall effect keyboard (see: Analog Switches in Keyboards Explained). It combines a sleek, clean design with NZXT’s own Magnetic Switches. These switches offer 40-point adjustable actuation. Furthermore, they allow the user to enable features such as Rapid Trigger (see: What is Rapid Trigger?) and Snap Overrides.
Additionally, the board features per-key RGB lighting as well as a 45-LED perimeter strip for better aesthetics. As far as acoustics go, NZXT has implemented a number of enthusiast-grade features such as a tape-modded PCB and case foam.
The Function Elite MiniTKL will retail for $199.99 at launch.
Lift Elite Wireless
NZXT’s first 4KHz (see: What Is Polling Rate?) wireless mouse weighs 57 grams and also comes with optical switches (see: Optical Mouse Switches vs Mechanical Mouse Switches). It has a battery life of 75 hours (at 1000Hz) and is fast-charging capable, charging up over 15 hours of battery life (at 1000Hz) in 15 minutes.
The mouse has a neutral ambidextrous shape so that it can be used by as many people as possible.
The Lift Elite Wireless’ launch price is set at $79.99.
Capsule Elite
The Capsule Elite is a USB condenser microphone meant for streaming, gaming, recording, and just chatting. It has a large 25mm condenser capsule, high sample rate, and DTS-powered software that’s meant to transmit clear and natural audio.
On the hardware side, the Capsule Elite comes with a mic stand. On the unit itself, there are knobs to control the volume and mute. There is also an indicator LED on the front.
The Capsule Elite retails for $89.99 at launch.
Zone Elite
The Zone Elite is a premium mousepad with a nano-knit cloth surface that’s meant to provide a smooth glide with a balance between speed and precision. The micro-cellular foam base provides comfort along with the low-profile stitched edges. With a Poron foam base (that’s 4mm thick), NZXT has gone for premium materials for this pad.
The Zone Elite retails for $29.99, $44.99, or $54.99 depending on size.
