WS Stabilizers V3.1

Each Zoom98 comes with the latest version (3.1) of the highly popular WS Stabilizers!

Gasket mount

Zoom98 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 Zoom98. Meletrix made the new PORON lighter and denser, as a result they make the keyboard sound more concentrated and deeper than stock settings.

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

Internal Weight - Sold separately

Take your keyboard to the next level with an internal SS weight, sold separately. It weighs about 471 grams.
