Pre-order Info
Import Methods
Pre-order Policies
This is a limited pre-order from our extras of the Ocean Freight shipment.
Not all the color combinations or add-ons are available to pre-order.
This pre-order will stay open until Zoom75 Ocean Freight arrives or all the available units sell out.
You will be able to modify your order only within the first 14 days of placing it.
All the unit from the batch 2 pre-order will ship after all the Zoom75 Ocean Freight batch 1 pre-orders ship to customers. Tentatively in October, 2023
We cannot combine an order from this batch with your order from the last batch.
Please do not order any product not on this page with your Zoom75.
All the Zoom75 ordered from this batch will come with all the milestones bonuses, except for the early bird deskmat bonus.
Canadian customers - please do not choose Xpresspost as a shipping method. Each Zoom75 (with the exception of Wired Edition) comes with a battery packed inside but not installed in kit. Canada Post does not allow such items to be shipped using Xpresspost
Zoom75 will be imported from China into Canada via two separate shipping methods:
Ocean Freight
Arrives to Canada via a ship. Takes 45-70 days in transit. This is the standard import method used in most keyboard / deskmat group buys. It's much cheaper than Air Express but takes much longer to arrive.
All units ordered via Ocean Freight are scheduled to ship out of Meletrix around July, 2023 and should arrive at Mech.land around late September, early October, 2023.
Air Express
Arrives to Canada via a cargo airplane, takes 7-15 days in transit. This import method is very expensive, as such some of the items brought over via Air Express have a markup added to cover the extra expenses
All units ordered via Air Express are scheduled to ship out of Meletrix around July, 2023 and are expected to arrive to us late July / early August.
IMPORTANT
You cannot combine Ocean Freight and Air Express items in the same order. Each individual order has to contain either all Ocean Freight or all Air Express items. This is because they arrive at different times
Please keep in mind the ETA is just our best guess according to the information currently available to us. Unexpected issues and delays can happen at every stage of the process.
Combinations
You cannot add any in-stock items to your order as we cannot guarantee its availability when the group buy is ready to ship.
You cannot combine this group buy order with a previous order as we cannot hold on to an order until the other one arrives.
Modifications
You may modify your order within the first 14 days of your order date. We will not be able to modify your order after that period.
Please send an email to help@mech.land from the email address associated with your order and list the changes you'd like to see made.
Cancellations
You may cancel your order and get a refund until the Zoom75 Ocean Freight shipment arrives at our warehouse (Around September / October, 2023)
Please keep in mind we will deduct 4% of the total from the refund as we do not get the transaction fees back from our payment processor.
Updates
Any status updates pertaining to this group buy will be posted in the status updates page.
Please follow the instructions on the contact us page if you need to change your address before the group buy ships.

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 sold as add-on accessories, and they dramatically change the feel and sound of the keyboard
WS Stabilizers 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.
Foam included
In order to reduce resonance, many tests were done on the foaming material of the Zoom75. Meletrix made the new PORON lighter and denser, as a result they make the keyboard sound more concentrated and deeper than stock settings.
Optional Internal Weight
Take your keyboard to the next level with an internal SS weight, sold separately. It weighs about 358 grams.
