Product Description

The Zoom65 EE V2 is a 65% mechanical keyboard suited for users who want a compact layout with wireless and wired connectivity options. It fits well for hobbyists who value layout flexibility and per-key RGB lighting, as well as for those seeking a softer typing feel through gasket mounting. Its hot-swap PCB and VIA compatibility allow easy customization without soldering, making it a practical choice for users who frequently remap keys or experiment with layouts.

Key Features

  • Hot-swap Bluetooth PCB supports wired and wireless use, enabling versatile device connections including PC, Mac, tablets, and phones.
  • Per-key RGB lighting works in both wired and wireless modes, allowing customizable lighting effects anywhere.
  • Multi-layout support offers options like split backspace, left shift, spacebar, ANSI/ISO enter, and stepped or normal caps lock, catering to varied typing preferences.
  • Includes a Li-ion battery lasting several weeks under normal use, reducing frequent charging needs.

Build Quality

  • Aluminum top and bottom case with multiple color options, finished with electrostatic coating or nano coating (GT Silver) for smoothness and durability.
  • Gasket mount design uses foam sleeves to isolate the plate, providing a softer, more even typing feel that reduces finger fatigue.
  • Polycarbonate plate and Poron dampeners improve sound quality by concentrating and deepening acoustics.
  • External weights and knobs are customizable in various materials and finishes, adding stability and personal style.

Typing Experience

  • Gasket mount structure delivers a soft, bouncy typing feel with balanced flex, which can be more comfortable for long sessions compared to tray mounts.
  • Poron foam dampeners reduce resonance for a quieter, more focused sound profile.
  • Hot-swap PCB allows easy switch changes without soldering, supporting experimentation with different switch types.

Connectivity and Compatibility

  • Bluetooth 5.0 offers lag-free wireless use with a 1000Hz polling rate in wired mode.
  • Fully compatible with VIA software for Windows, Mac, and Linux, enabling key remapping, macros, and knob customization across four layers.
  • Supports multiple layouts including ANSI and ISO, making it suitable for different regional preferences.

Trade-offs

  • The keyboard does not include switches or keycaps, requiring additional purchases to complete the build.
  • While wireless, battery life varies with use and may require regular charging for heavy users.
  • Customization options may be overwhelming for users seeking a simple, ready-to-use keyboard.
