Our Verdict

EVGA Z15

NPET K20

The EVGA Z15 is a much better gaming keyboard than the NPET K20. The EVGA has more features like macro-programmable keys, a wrist rest, dedicated software, and full RGB backlighting, while the NPET is limited to multi-colored backlighting. The EVGA is also hot-swappable, which the NPET isn't, so you can put whichever switches you prefer. Latency is also much lower on the EVGA.
