Zoom65 by Meletrix

Zoom65 aims to make an enthusiast level typing experience and sound accessible and affordable to the general population and hobbyists alike. 

A subsidiary of Wuque Studio, Meletrix was formed to bring the latest innovations happening in the DIY custom keyboard community to the masses without sacrificing quality. 

Each Zoom65 includes a PCB, plate, stabilizers, USB cable, carrying case and more!

Essential Edition

Essential Edition includes everything you need to assemble your Zoom65, except for keycaps and switches. 

Additional weights, knobs and other parts and accessories can be purchased separately from the links on the sidebar.

Olivia Edition

Olivia Edition comes with licensed PBT Double-shot Olivia keycaps, JWK switches and the BT/VIA PCB found in the Essential Edition.

Note about Faint Blurple & Lilac

The colors in real life are a bit different from what’s shown on renders here. This is what those colors actually look like

Mech.land recommended build

We recommend the following build adjustments for a slightly louder, but much crisper sounding and more bouncy / flexy typing experience:

• No plate standoffs except the two next to the knob
• No PORON foam under the PCB
• No PORON foam on the bottom case. You can use a little bit of polyfill if you’d like a slightly deeper sound.
• No PORON stabilizer pad under the included stabilizers. 
• 205g0 in the stabilizer housings and stems and XHT-BDZ on the stabilizer wires. 
• Lubed and filmed long pole linear switches (like Durock POM Linear, WS Onion, Penyu, Graphite Gold etc.) at the stabilizer keys, or at least the spacebar

Features

Premium build quality

Electrostatic coated aluminum top and bottom case

Not only are they more durable than the typical off-the-rack mechanical keyboard with a plastic shell, they feel so much nicer and heftier to the the sight and touch.

Engraved external weight

Each Zoom65 features a weight with the beautiful Zoom65 logo engraved on it. You can choose whether you want an aluminum weight or a PVD mirror stainless steel weight.

Internal brass weight (add-on)

Take your keyboard to the next level with an internal brass weight, sold separately. 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.

Internal bass weight is compatible with all Zoom65 sold to date. There will be a type test out in the coming days showcasing the weight.

Ultimate flexibility in layout

Hot-swap PCB

Each Zoom65 comes with a hot-swap PCB. You can install switches by just pushing them into the PCB, no soldering required! Tired of using linear switches? Change them in a pinch! You are not bound to just one type of switch with this keyboard!

Multiple layouts on the same PCB

Every Zoom65 PCB supports multiple layouts! You can have a regular ANSI layout like you’re used to seeing, or you can have split left shift, spacebars, backspace or all of the above! You can have stepped or regular caps lock, and ISO or ANSI enter!  

Flexibility of  VIA

Re-map your entire keyboard on the fly with VIA. Add custom macros, special keys and a bunch of other useful functions in many layers. You can even customize the knob, using it for things like page up / down instead of volume control by default. The settings are stored in your keyboard so you don’t need to install any software at each new device you use it on.

Elevated typing experience and sound 

Gasket mounted internal structure

Zoom65 features a gasket mount design. It offers a softer, bouncier typing experience and produces a more even sound all around compared to traditional tray mount design found in most off-the-shelf mechanical keyboards. 

Polycarbonate plate & flex cuts

Polycarbonate plates produce a softer, less metallic sound than traditional aluminum plates. Both the Zoom65 plate and PCB feature various flex cuts to allow for a soft and bouncy typing experience.

Dampening and sound enhancing foams

The Zoom65 comes with an array of optional use foam. Some are sound dampening foams, you can use them to make your keyboard really quiet. The keyboard also comes with a PORON sheet that goes between the switches and PCB, offering a very marble on slate like sound. You can experiment with all the different foam configurations to find your sweet spot!

Stabilizers 

A set of WS stabilizers are also included with each Zoom65. These new stabilizers from Wuque Studio features a brand new design that makes the stabilizer wire impossible to pop off while removing keycaps. If you’re new to the hobby then these are the perfect stabilizers for you!

Coiled cable & storage bag

A premium coiled USB-C to USB-A cable is included with every Zoom65. You do not need to spend an extra $30-50 to get a matching cable! Your Zoom65 acan be stored in the included carrying case to transport between home and work, or wherever!
