Compare Meletrix Zoom75 TIGA vs ZoomPad TIGA Differences Side by Side

This comparison is for buyers deciding between Meletrix's full 75% Zoom75 TIGA and the dedicated ZoomPad TIGA numpad. Both are part of the same TIGA design family, sharing a full CNC aluminum case, tri-mode wireless, QMK/VIA programmability, and DIY barebones assembly. The decision is hard because the Zoom75 is a complete primary keyboard with a screen, knob, and massive battery, while the ZoomPad is a specialized companion that fills a specific niche for those who need a separate, customizable numpad. Your choice depends entirely on whether you need a full layout or a numeric input extension.

Pros and Trade-offs

The Meletrix Zoom75 TIGA is the right choice for anyone who needs a full-featured primary keyboard. Its 75% layout, screen, knob, and large battery make it versatile for nearly all use cases. The ZoomPad TIGA is only worth considering if you already own a separate main keyboard and specifically want a matching, programmable numpad with a similar build. For most buyers, the Zoom75 is the complete package, while the ZoomPad fills a niche as a companion piece.

Meletrix Zoom75 TIGA

  • +Full CNC aluminum case with integrated screen module and knob for on-board controls.
  • +Ball-catch system enables tool-free switching between four mounting systems including top mount and elastic bar silicone mount.
  • +Three sound-absorbency editions (Standard, Cork, Poron) allow customization of sound profile from the factory.
  • +Large 8000mAh battery (2x 4000mAh) supports extended wireless use across Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz.
  • +QMK and VIA support with a multi-layout PCB that supports ANSI, ISO, and stepped Caps Lock.

  • Group buy item with estimated delivery in March, with no refunds or cancellations once purchased.
  • Renders and photos may not perfectly represent final product colors; color accuracy is not guaranteed.
  • No switches or keycaps included (barebones kit), requiring a separate purchase and DIY assembly.

  • +QMK and VIA support with a 1.6mm non flex-cut hotswap RGB PCB for reliable programming.
  • +Tri-mode wireless connectivity (Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz, wired) using a 600mAh battery.
  • +Two assembly options: top mount and silica gel mount for different typing feels.

  • Numpad-only layout with a small 600mAh battery, limiting standalone use as a primary keyboard.

  • Group buy item with same delivery timelines and non-refundable, non-cancellable purchasing terms.
  • Barebones kit requires assembly and does not include switches or keycaps.

Which Keyboard Is Better for Your Needs?

Across all six use cases the Zoom75 TIGA is the clear winner because it is a complete primary keyboard. Its 75% layout, screen, knob, and 8000mAh battery make it suitable for gaming, office, programming, travel, modding, and content creation. The ZoomPad TIGA is only recommended as a secondary companion for users who already own a main keyboard and specifically need a dedicated, programmable numpad. The ZoomPad's smaller 600mAh battery and lack of a screen or knob limit its standalone value.
