Unboxing
Tesoro Tizona G2N Elite Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
Let’s start off with the box of the Tizona keyboard then later on with the numpad. So the box is like all other keyboard coming from Tesoro. A trapezoidal box packing shape to greatly resemble the shape of their logo.
The front of the box displays the keyboard itself and some stylized graphics design of the product name and a sword called “Tizona”.
The back of the box offers some images of the main features of the Tizona keyboard. On the left side, the box displays the products specifications in 13 different languages.
Looking at the top/handle side part of the box, we can see that the Tizona is available in 4 different key switches however, Tesoro doesn’t seem to be on the main stream side which is a good thing when it comes to key switches since Tizona, like all of Tesoro gaming keyboard, uses Kailh keys instead of Cherry MX. We will look into that further on as we progress.
The right side part of the box displays the “Function Key” feature of the Tizona and it being a 6-NKey/Full-NKey rollover function keyboard.
The left side part of the box highlights the different functions of the thumb keys in different mode (PC/Game mode) which is the 3 keys at the bottom part of the keyboard layout.
Now let’s go ahead and open the box.
The box is quite easy to open and Tesoro sure doesn’t like fancy double box packaging for their products although I’m a fan of how they make sure their products are very well protected. As you can see, on each side of the keyboard there are two foams that holds the Tizona in-place while greatly protecting it to prevent any possible damage. A perfect packaging for shipping.
Taking a closer look, the keys and the keyboard surface is also protected by a hard plastic cover to prevent any scratches to the keyboard or any possible damage. The black carton box holds in-place the cables included while also making sure that the Tizona is well held inside the box.
So out of the box, we get the Tizona Mechanical Gaming Keyboard and two cables (One braided and a non-braided one).
Tesoro Tizona G2N-P Elite Mechanical Numpad
Now let’s move on with the unboxing of the Tizona numpad. Well as you can see, the numpad is separated and if you want the set you will have to purchase this one as well to get the Tizona keyboard to a 100%. Why is it separated you ask? It’s probably a way to cut down the price of mechanical gaming keyboard for people who only wants the keyboard and use it for gaming only.
This is actually pretty common nowadays since it’s one of the most efficient way to cut down a high grade mechanical gaming keyboard price. Although there are other brands that offers a mechanical gaming keyboard that doesn’t have a numpad.
For this one, Tesoro surely gave a thought about gamers since rather than ditching off the numpad to cut-down the price of a high-end mechanical gaming keyboard, they’ve resorted to offering the numpad separately for those gamers who wants the Tizona to be complete.
Now the front box of the Tizona numpad displays the numpad itself and some marksmanship sticker.
The back of the box highlights the technical specification of the numpad in 13 different language.
The top of the box highlights that the Tizona numpad, like the Tizona keyboard, is also available in four different key switches (Blue, Brown, Red, and Black).
The right side of the box highlights the 1.8m detachable braided cable and the Anti-Slip rubber fit. Also the package content is displayed as well.
The left side of the box highlights the innovative 3 way cable management grove of the numpad, 18-keys compact design, and the system requirements.
Flipping the front cover, we are happily welcomed by the numpad itself which is protected by a hard clear plastic.
The back of the front cover highlights the 6 N-key/Full N-key feature of the numpad which is also a feature of the keyboard. Tesoro opted to use magnets rather than clips or locks to offer the flexible feature of the numpad which can be placed on the right side of the keyboard or the left side. It may seem odd to put the numpad at the right side but it can be an advantage specifically for MOBA games.
The way that the Tizona numpad is packed is very similar on the way how Tesoro packages their gaming mouse. Like the Gandiva.

Taking the Tizona numpad out of the box, we can see that there’s one 1.8m braided extended cable included for those who want to use the numpad separately and doesn’t want to attach it to the Tizona keyboard.
The Tizona numpad is held in place and protected by a hard plastic cover. Hmm, I’m not sure but I felt like this one lacks support and protection unlike their keyboards that has foams and hard plastic cover for support and protection.
