Zoom TKL EE At a Glance:
Gasket-mount:
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.
Hot-swappable:
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!
Multi-layout:
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!
Bluetooth PCB:
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.
Ambient Lighting:
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.
Ergonomic Typing Angle:
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.
Gasket Sleeves:
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.
Included Foam:
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.
Included Extras:
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.
