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 October, 2023 and should arrive at Mech.land around November/December, 2023. Please keep in mind it'll be during peak holiday shopping season and the transit times may be unpredictable.
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 October, 2023 and are expected to arrive to us 7-14 days after leaving China.
Please keep in mind it's right around the start of the holiday shopping season and the transit times may be unpredictable.
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 until the group buy ends on August 8, 2023
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 group buy ends on August 8, 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.

Other Features
Unique chamfer
Special Edition Zoompads (with the exception of GT Silver) will have an accent chamfer on the inside edges. Chamfers are polished too like in Zoom75.
Nightlight knobs!
These new default knobs function just like any other Zoom series knobs, but they have a frosted window to let the LED in the encoder shine through the knob!
Per-key RGB
The Tri-Mode PCB support per-key RGB lighting. You can choose from provides a wide range of colors and effects for a different visual experience. The wired only PCB doesn't support this feature.
Perfect for Zoom75
Zoompads are the perfect companion to Zoom75! Zoompads come in the exact same colors as Zoom75. When placed side by side, they have the same typing angle and front to back length. Leave a screen on your Zoom75 and use the knob on your Zoompad, or have a setup with dual knobs - your choice!
Hot-swap Switches
Both wired and Tri-Mode Zoompad PCBs feature Kailh Hot Swap sockets that allow you to just push the switches on, no soldering required! Changing switches is a breeze, you can go from linear to tactile in a matter of minutes, all on the same keyboard!
WS Stabilizers V3.1
A slight revision of the new stabilizers were under development for almost one year, and will be included with every edition of the Zoompad.
Gasket mount
Zoompad 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.
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.
Foam included
In order to reduce resonance, many tests were done on the foaming material of the Zoompad. Meletrix made the new PORON lighter and denser, as a result they make the keyboard sound more concentrated and deeper than stock settings.
