Product Description

The Meletrix ZOOM EE is a tenkeyless mechanical keyboard kit designed for users who want a customizable, wireless or wired setup with a flexible layout. It suits hobbyists who prefer building their own keyboard with hot-swappable switches and value a softer typing feel from a gasket mount. Its Bluetooth 5.0 support and VIA compatibility make it a good choice for those needing multi-device use and extensive key remapping.

Key Features

  • Hot-swap PCB allows easy switch changes without soldering, supporting various layouts including split spacebar and split modifiers.
  • Bluetooth 5.0 enables wireless use with PCs, tablets, and phones, with wired mode available via USB-C for low latency or charging.
  • VIA firmware support offers customizable key mapping, macros, and layered profiles, including knob control.
  • Gasket mount design provides a softer, more cushioned typing experience that reduces finger fatigue during long sessions.
  • Ambient side lighting adds subtle visual feedback without overwhelming brightness.

Build Quality

  • Aluminum top and bottom cases with multiple finish options including glass mirror, stainless steel PVD, and carbon fiber back plates.
  • Gasket sleeves made of supercritical foam balance plate stability with flexible movement for improved acoustics.
  • Included accessories like WS stabilizers, Poron dampeners, and silicone feet contribute to sound dampening and typing stability.
  • Optional internal stainless steel weight can be added to increase heft and reduce vibration.

Typing Experience

  • The gasket mount and foam dampeners create a softer, less harsh typing feel with more even sound across the board.
  • Adjustable plate materials (polycarbonate, aluminum, brass, FR4, carbon fiber) allow users to tailor sound and typing feedback.
  • Ergonomic front bezel slope reduces wrist strain by providing a comfortable resting position for hands.

Connectivity

  • Bluetooth 5.0 supports wireless use with multiple devices, suitable for users who want cable-free setups.
  • Wired mode via USB-C offers a 1000Hz polling rate, ideal for latency-sensitive tasks.
  • Battery capacity supports several weeks of typical use before recharging is needed.

Compatibility

  • Supports Windows, Mac, and Linux through VIA software for key remapping and macros.
  • Multiple layout options including split spacebar and split modifiers accommodate various typing preferences.

Trade-offs

  • Sold as a kit without switches or keycaps, requiring additional purchases and assembly effort.
  • Weight varies significantly depending on chosen materials, which may affect portability.
  • Ambient lighting is limited to side effects and may not satisfy users wanting full RGB customization.
