NZXT Function2 (Full-Size/NZXT-Designed Hot-Swap/USB-C Wired/Aluminum Top Plate/Per-Key RGB) Review
The NZXT Function2 is a full-size gaming and creator board with a dedicated media roller, aimed at buyers already invested in NZXT's PC-building ecosystem who want matching-branded peripherals.
A dedicated media roller adds quick volume and playback control, while NZXT's CAM software ties this board into the same ecosystem used to monitor and control NZXT cases, coolers, and other components. Against the Razer BlackWidow V4 Pro, covered elsewhere on this site, both are full-size boards with extra physical media controls, with this NZXT board specifically integrating into NZXT's own CAM ecosystem. Against the Corsair K70 Max, also covered elsewhere on this site, that board focuses on Hall Effect competitive gaming rather than ecosystem integration.
