tesoro-tizona-g2n-keyboard-g2n-p-numpad By: Chad Sebring @ TweakTown

We have you here today to not only look at the Tesoro Tizona G2N, tenkeyless, gaming mechanical keyboard, but also to check out the optional Tizona G2N-P mechanical gaming Numpad as well. So, while the G2N has its main design keeping in line with most other TKL options out there today, it also has a couple of tricks up its sleeve with the optional G2N-P. Not only can the Numpad be magnetically attached to either side of the Tizona TKL, but it also ships with its own extension cable, so you can place the G2N-P anywhere on the desk. We have a lot to go over with what Tesoro is offering, so let’s get a look at the charts, see what else is being offered, and find out what this combination is going to set you back.
