Modular Top Right 2U
The Zoom75 changeable module design gives more possibilities for playability with top right 2U space for color LCD, knobs, two-keys and badges. One keyboard for 4 different experiences, split module design makes changes easy and unlocks more customization space.

Special Edition With Telescopic Engraving
In addition to the 15 standard colors, four special colors are available: anodized black, anodized orange, anodized lavender, and E-white. Meanwhile, the 4 special colors come with the Zoom series telescope logo.

Knob Variety
The Zoom75 knob is compatible with the Zoom65 series, and 3 new cute knobs have been added: an anodized cat paw, a PVD silver bear, and an anodized rabbit knob, which knob can be rotated to control the volume and pressed to change the mute.

Badge Variety
Zoom75 has added 11 different styles of badges for you to choose from. It's a great way to make your keyboard even more versatile!

 

Tri-Mode RGB
The Zoom75 tri-mode PCB with RGB lights provides a variety of light effects for a great visual experience.

while the RGB lights support wired, Bluetooth, and 2.4G modes, allowing them to be used anytime, anywhere. 

Gasket Mount
Zoom75 uses a gasket isolation mount structure for a soft, bouncy and pleasant typefeel that won't fatigue your fingers even after hours of typing. Gasket mount keyboards sound better and feel more even throughout the board than the typical off-the-rack tray mount keyboards.

Multi-Layout
Unlike traditional keyboards, you are not stuck with just one layout on Zoom75! Change things up every now and then with split backspace, left shift and spacebar! You can also switch between normal and stepped caps lock or ANSI and ISO enter.

Gasket Sleeves
The gasket sleeves are made of supercritical foam, it can stabilize the plate as the same time giving appropriate space allowing it to flex in a balanced way. Just the right softness, not too stiff, not too much flex.

Plate Variety
Plates in other materials, such as brass, aluminum and FR4, can be bought as add-on accessories, and they dramatically change the feel and sound of the plate.

Foam Included
PCB and Bottom Case are made of lighter PORON material. To reduce resonance, many tests were done on the foaming material this time. We made the PORON lighter and the foam pores dense. Every minor detail matters a lot, with the current poron, the sound is more concentrated and is deeper than with normal dampeners.

Hot Swap
The Zoom75 Hotswap PCB is a printed circuit board designed for use in custom mechanical keyboards. It features hot-swappable sockets that allow for easy customization of switch types without the need for soldering. The PCB is compatible with 75% keyboard layouts and supports both ANSI and ISO standards.

WS Stabilizer V3
The new stabilizers were under development for almost one year, and will be included with the Zoom75. They use soft TPU around the wires to achieve better performance even with minimal lubing.

Triple Mode PCB
Use your Zoom75 with your PC, laptop, tablet or even your phone - all without any wires. You can also use the included cable for a lag free experience. Thanks to Bluetooth 5.0 and 2.4GHz support. Use the included cable to charge the battery or to use the keyboard in wired mode if that's what you prefer.

VIA compatible
The Bluetooth PCB is fully compatible with VIA, the powerful GUI widely renowned for it's customizability and ease of use. Remap any key on the keyboard on 4 different layers, including the knob. Use built in powerful shortcuts and macros, or define your own!

Battery included
Every Zoom75 Essential Edition comes with a 2250 mAh Li-ion battery included in the kit. The battery should last 6-8 weeks between charges under normal use. Once it's out of charges simply connect your keyboard to your PC / laptop using the included USB-C cable.
