[Group-Buy] Meletrix ZoomPad Wired Edition - Barebones Numpad Kit - Black [Air Shipping]

The extremely popular Zoom series is back! This time featuring the perfect companion to your keyboard in more customizations than ever! You won't want to miss out on this amazing numpad!

ZoomPad at a Glance:

• Multiple PCB Options:
• To maximize customizability, there are now 2 PCB options: tri-mode and wired. The thickness remains at 1.2mm. The design incorporates a daughterboard that can be securely attached independently, effectively preventing the positioning of the Type-C interface from being affected by the cut-out on the case.
• Gasket Sleeves:
• ZoomPads feature gasket sleeves made of unique supercritical foam which is able to both stabilize the plate as well as provide adequate spacing for flex. This results in a typing experience that's well-balanced and neither too stiff or soft. 
• Various Plate Materials:
• Zoompads are highly customizable and feature numerous plate options including brass, aluminum, and FR4. Fully customize your typing experience with the ZoomPad. Please note, additional plates are sold separately. 
• Hot-swappable:
• Zoompad PCB's feature 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!
• Included Foam:
• Zoompads comes with an array of foams in the kit for those who like a dampened, refined sound. This iteration features PORON that is lighter, but with foam pores that are denser resulting in a more concentrated and deeper sound. Feel free to experiment with different combinations, or use none of them at all!
• VIA Compatible:
• The 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 4 different layers, including the knob. Use built in powerful shortcuts and macros, or define your own!
