Tri-mode PCB
Bluetooth, RF & Wired!
An all-in-one PCB! You can connect to your devices via Bluetooth 5.0, 2.4Ghz RF (USB receiver included) and in plain old wired mode. You can charge the battery with any USB-C cable (not included), or simply use it in wired mode for a while!
Multi-layout
The new Tri-Mode 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 many different layers, including the knob. Use built in powerful shortcuts and macros, or define your own!
Battery Included
Every Zoompad comes with a 600 mAh Li-ion battery included in the kit. Once they're out of charges simply connect your keyboard to your PC / laptop using an USB-C cable.
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.
