Battery Included

Every Zoom65 Essential Edition comes with a 2300mAh Li-ion battery included in the kit. The battery should last 6-8 weeks between charge under normal use. Once it's out of charge simply connect your keyboard to your PC / laptop using the included USB-c cable. 

Internal weight

Take your keyboard to the next level with an internal brass weight, sold separately here. It weighs about 400 grams and the exposed brass inside the case gives it a nicer, more solid sound compared to having no internal weight. Compatible with all Zoom65 sold to date.
