Zalman Keyboards, Fans, and PSUs at Computex 2024

While cases dominated the Zalman booth at Computex 2024, the company also had several cooling and power solutions to show off. We begin our tour with the TGR Lena, an ergonomic keyboard with a Split Alice tenkeyless layout. This TKL layout isn't exactly 80%, as the keyboard lacks a function key row. To the left of the QWERTY cluster is a set of macro keys, the keyboard on display had keycaps from Zalman's Rubrehose collection. The TGR Jane V3 Rubrehose Edition is a limited production run keycap set meant for buyers of the GMK Rubrehose Edition TKL keyboard.

Switching gears, and the only new cooling product we could spot at Zalman's Computex 2024 booth, are the new ZM-AF120 series case fans. These come in black and white trims, both with frosted white impellers, and addressable RGB LED illumination. The fan takes in 4-pin PWM for its main function, turns between 600 and 2,000 RPM, pushing 69.12 CFM of airflow, at a maximum noise output of 29.7 dBA. It takes in 3-pin ARGB for the lighting. The fans feature hydro-dynamic bearings, which are generally rated for high endurance.
The TerraMax II View is an interesting new PSU by Zalman. Based on the TeraMax II line of upper-mainstream PSUs, the TeraMax II View comes with RGB LED illumination for its fan, a physical knob to override fan speed, and a window along its side. The fan lights up the interiors, with the large capacitor and other components resembling the innards of a headphones amp.

That is an interesting new take of the Alice layout. Quite nice actually with the full cluster above the arrow keys.
