[Pre-Order] Meletrix Zoom TKL EE - Barebones Keyboard Kit [Batch 3]

<p>Meletrix is back with another addition to their extremely popular Zoom line, and this time in the TKL form factor! This beautiful board offers either a glass or PVD stainless steel back-plate and accents, and ambient side glow. <br><br><br><strong>Zoom TKL EE At a Glance:</strong></p> <p><strong>Gasket-mount:</strong></p> <p><span data-mce-fragment="1">The Zoom TKL uses a gasket isolation mount structure for a soft, bouncy, and pleasant typing experience that won't fatigue your fingers during extended use. Gasket mount keyboards also sound better and distribute pressure more evenly throughout the board compared to the typical off-the-rack tray mount keyboards.</span><br></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Hot-swappable:</strong></p> <p><span data-mce-fragment="1">The Zoom TKL PCB features Kailh Hot Swap sockets which allows you to easily swap your switches, no soldering required! Changing switches is a breeze, you can go from linears to tactiles in a matter of minutes, all on the same keyboard!</span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Multi-layout:</strong></p> <p><span data-mce-fragment="1">Unlike traditional keyboards, you're not stuck with just one layout on the Zoom TKL! Change things up every now and then with split spacebar, split backspace, split left shift and split right shift! <br></span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Bluetooth PCB:</strong></p> <p><span data-mce-fragment="1">Leave the wires behind and use your Zoom TKL with your PC / Mac / tablet / phone with ease. The PCB has a polling rate of 1000hz in wired mode. The included battery can go many weeks between charges. Customize any key in the VIA app for Windows, Mac or Linux.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Ambient Lighting:</strong></p> <p><span data-mce-fragment="1">The Zoom TKL has added ambient lighting for the first time. We added ambient lighting on both sides of the keyboard with a variety of lighting effects to choose from.</span><span data-mce-fragment="1"><br></span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Ergonomic Typing Angle:</strong></p> <p><span data-mce-fragment="1">The Zoom TKL keyboard is designed with a small slope on the front bezel to reduce the height and ensure your hands can rest on it more comfortably. Additionally, between the F row and the number row, we appropriately increased some width instead of the normal 0.25U gap to prevent accidental touch.<br></span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Gasket Sleeves:</strong></p> <p><span data-mce-fragment="1">The gasket sleeves are made of supercritical foam. It can stabilize the plate while still giving appropriate space for flex. It's the perfect balance. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Included Foam:</strong></p> <p><span data-mce-fragment="1">Many hours of research has gone into the foam selection to optimize acoustics. The PCB and bottom case foams are composed of lighter PORON material, with denser foam pores. This allows the acoustics to be more concentrated and deeper in pitch than typical dampening materials.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Included Extras:</strong></p> <p><span data-mce-fragment="1">The Zoom TKL comes with almost everything you need to put together your first keyboard, including an USB-C cable, premium WS stabilizers, and carrying case. All you need are switches and keycaps of your choice to build the ultimate keyboard that's uniquely yours.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Specifications:</strong></p> <ul> <li><span data-mce-fragment="1">Gasket mount design</span></li> <li><span data-mce-fragment="1"><strong>Layout:</strong> 80% with F13,WK</span></li> <li><span data-mce-fragment="1"><strong>PCB:</strong> 1.2mm, with Ai03 DB</span></li> <li><span data-mce-fragment="1"><strong>Typing angle:</strong> 5° </span></li> <li><span data-mce-fragment="1"><strong>Front height:</strong> 18.86 mm </span></li> <li><span data-mce-fragment="1"><strong>Finish treatment:</strong> Nano-coating, glass, stainless steel</span></li> <li><span data-mce-fragment="1"><strong>Default plate:</strong> Polycarbonate</span></li> <li><span data-mce-fragment="1"><strong>Layout support:</strong> Split spacebar, split backspace, split left shift, and split right shift</span></li> <li><span data-mce-fragment="1"><strong>Bluetooth PCB polling rate in wired mode:</strong> 1000hz</span></li> <li><span data-mce-fragment="1">Bluetooth PCB can be used in wired or wireless mode</span></li> <li><strong>Weight:</strong></li> <ul> <li><span data-mce-fragment="1"><strong>Essential kit with Glass mirror back plate kit/ PC plate:</strong> 1.58 kg</span></li> <li><span data-mce-fragment="1"><strong>Essential kit with PVD SS back plate kit / PC plate:</strong> 1.75 kg</span></li> </ul> </ul> <p> </p> <p><strong>What's in the box? </strong></p> <ul> <li><span data-mce-fragment="1">Aluminum top and bottom case</span></li> <li><span data-mce-fragment="1">SS/Glass bottom plate</span></li> <li>PCB</li> <li>Daughterboard</li> <li>Polycarbonate Plate</li> <li>Poron dampener kit</li> <li>Gasket sleeves</li> <li>Gasket blockers</li> <li>2250mAh Li-ion battery</li> <li>WS stabilizer kit </li> <li>Coiled USB-C cable</li> <li>Silicone keyboard feet</li> <li>Screws</li> <li>Hex screwdriver</li> <li>Faux suede storage case<br> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><strong>Sound Tests:</strong><br><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/j4gHHKiIris" height="315" width="560" allowfullscreen="" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" frameborder="0"></iframe><br></p> <p> </p> <p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9bA2R6w9K5A" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p> <p> </p> <p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/z3YIJ_U_Zt0" height="315" width="560" allowfullscreen="" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" frameborder="0"></iframe></p> <p> </p> <p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/eUPp2waK48Q" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p> <p> </p> <p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UimQ4O9Bn2M" height="315" width="560" allowfullscreen="" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" frameborder="0"></iframe></p> <p> </p> <p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_ydxemTJwYc" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p> <p> </p> <p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Irsozf_hhxo" height="315" width="560" allowfullscreen="" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" frameborder="0"></iframe></p> <p> </p> <p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SJRuPqoHge4" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p> <p> </p> <p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sEItDeng8nw" height="315" width="560" allowfullscreen="" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" frameborder="0"></iframe></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Timeline:</strong></p> <ul> <li> <strong>Pre-order start date:</strong> August 22<span style="font-size: 11.6667px;">nd</span>, 2023</li> <li> <strong>Pre-order end date:</strong> When allocated inventory sells out </li> <li> <strong>Estimated shipping date:</strong><span> Q4 2023 (The boards are planned to be fulfilled in time for Christmas)</span> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><strong>This item is excluded from free shipping. </strong></p> <ul></ul> <ul></ul> <ul></ul>
