Product Description

The Meletrix ZOOM is a tenkeyless mechanical keyboard kit suited for users who want a customizable build with wireless and wired options. It fits hobbyists who prefer hot-swappable switches and multiple layout choices, as well as those seeking a softer typing feel with gasket mounting. Its Bluetooth 5.0 support and VIA compatibility make it a flexible option for desktop and mobile use.

Key Features

  • Hot-swap PCB allows easy switch changes without soldering, supporting quick customization of typing feel.
  • Bluetooth 5.0 wireless connectivity with a 2250mAh battery offers multi-device use and weeks of typical battery life between charges.
  • Supports split spacebar, backspace, and shift keys, enabling multiple layout variations for personal preference.
  • VIA compatibility provides user-friendly key remapping and macro programming across four layers, including the rotary knob.
  • Ambient side lighting adds subtle illumination with various effects, enhancing desk aesthetics without overpowering.

Build Quality and Typing Experience

  • Gasket mount design uses foam sleeves to isolate the plate, creating a softer, more even typing feel that reduces finger fatigue.
  • Case options include aluminum top and bottom with back plates in glass mirror, stainless steel, or carbon fiber, affecting weight and sound profile.
  • Included Poron dampeners and silicone feet reduce resonance and hollowness, contributing to a deeper, more focused sound.
  • Typing angle is ergonomically designed with a slight front slope and increased spacing between certain keys to reduce accidental presses.

Connectivity and Compatibility

  • Can be used wired via USB-C or wirelessly over Bluetooth, switching modes as needed for different devices.
  • Compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux through VIA software for key remapping and macros.
  • Bluetooth polling rate is 1000Hz in wired mode, supporting responsive input for gaming or productivity.

Trade-offs

  • The kit does not include switches or keycaps, requiring additional purchases to complete the build.
  • Weight varies significantly depending on chosen back plate material, which may affect portability.
  • Ambient lighting is limited to side effects only, which may not satisfy users seeking full RGB customization.
  • Battery life estimates are based on typical use; actual duration may vary with lighting and usage patterns.
