Tesoro Tizona: The Burning Blade RGB Keyboard - PAX Prime 2014

The Tesoro Tizona, dubbed the Burning Blade, is showcased at PAX Prime 2014 as a standout RGB mechanical gaming keyboard. The presenter highlights Kailh switches with 256 million color possibilities, noting the extensive RGB customization that, at the time of the show, is primarily software-driven rather than hardware-presented. A distinctive design feature is the detachable numpad, held on by magnets and positionable on either the left or right side to accommodate different ergonomics and shoulder width, which the host argues can improve comfort during long gaming sessions. Additional functional details include programmable macro keys located beneath the space bar for quick access, a USB slot on the left side, and a DC power input option for powered peripherals. The device emphasizes flexibility, including the ability to reconfigure its layout and use cases, while acknowledging that some color modes may require software access not available at the booth. The host wraps with an invitation to watch more Linus Tech Tips coverage and hints at future software demonstrations once available, underscoring the product’s potential for deep customization.
