With tenkeyless (TKL) keyboards so common, it’s refreshing to see a full 108-key board such as the TNT TX108. TNT may be an unfamiliar name, but the brand draws on FL-Esports’ technical experience. For office work that involves frequent number entry, the layout makes sense. My Stone Mocha unit with Rich Berry switches combined a retro appearance with a refined typing feel, without needing any tuning.
Unboxing & Components
The box includes the keyboard, a braided USB-C cable, a 2.4GHz receiver, and a combined switch and keycap puller. A clear plastic dust cover keeps the keys clean between uses.
A magnetic slot underneath stores the wireless receiver. It’s a useful way to avoid losing the dongle while using Bluetooth or a cable.
Design
There are brighter colors, including Cotton Candy, but I chose the more restrained Stone Mocha. The warm-gray base with beige and mocha caps reminds me of 90s computer terminals. It works well on wood and minimalist desks. Four dedicated media keys at the upper right add both convenience and visual balance.
Housing
The dense plastic case weighs about 1.2kg and feels solid. Twisting it with both hands produced no creaks or obvious flex.
Large rubber pads at the bottom corners keep it from moving during energetic typing.
The feet offer two height settings, letting you choose an angle that stays comfortable through longer work sessions.
Sound Dampening
FL-Esports’ experience shows in the 5-layer dampening. High-density Poron foam fills the plate-to-PCB gap, with IXPE and PET silicone pads absorbing switch impact. A thick silicone layer at the bottom controls hollow case resonance. The result is a crisp, clean sound without unwanted rattles or ringing.
Switches
Rich Berry switches have a bright, high-pitched clack, like a sharper take on the familiar pebble-like typing sound. Actuation is in the mid-40g range, light enough for long sessions without tiring my fingers. Factory lubrication on the stems and springs keeps scratchiness out of the sound.
Keycaps
The Cherry-profile PBT caps have a dry, slightly grainy surface that feels pleasant against the fingertips. That texture is part of the comfortable typing experience, rather than merely a visual finish. The legends, including the Korean characters, are double-shot, so they are formed in the caps instead of being markings that can be scratched away. The height follows the familiar Cherry profile, making the board easy to settle into without an unusual key shape to get used to.
Real-World Use
The bright clacking sound may be difficult to accommodate in an office where colleagues expect quiet. In my own room or a personal studio, though, it makes typing enjoyable. I had been using tenkeyless boards recently, so returning to a full layout made the benefit of the number pad obvious again. Entering large amounts of numerical data in Excel is simply more comfortable with it there. While preparing reports, the lively response also puts the pleasure of typing ahead of any sense of finger fatigue. That is a useful combination if the space and sound suit your environment.
Wired, Bluetooth, and 2.4G wireless modes make changing devices straightforward.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Productivity: The full numpad and media keys make document and spreadsheet work more convenient.
- Typing Feel: The 5-layer dampening and lubricated Rich Berry switches keep typing clean and free of case resonance.
- Retro Aesthetics: Stone Mocha adds a distinctive retro accent to the desk.
Cons
- Noise: The bright typing sound may be too loud for a quiet office.
- Indicator Layout: Caps Lock is indicated below Page Down, while Num and Scroll Lock use lights in their own keys. The arrangement feels inconsistent.
Buying Tip
At launch, Compuzone offered an exclusive promotion from June 23 to July 6, taking 10,000 KRW off each model. Prices were 59,000 KRW for Rich Berry, 69,000 KRW for Gray Snow, and 79,000 KRW for Silent Cherry Blossom, with a heart keycap keychain for early buyers. Those switch choices let buyers pick the feel and sound they prefer at a competitive price.
Final Thoughts
The TNT TX108 resists the assumption that saving desk space should always mean removing the number pad. It combines the convenience of a full layout with a typing experience that benefits from FL-Esports’ accumulated knowledge. There is still a physical trade-off to accept: this is a substantial keyboard in both size and weight. If that suits your desk, the calm Stone Mocha colors and lively Rich Berry switches give it a character that I can imagine enjoying for a long time. It makes a case for keeping the full layout rather than treating it as an outdated compromise.
