The Meletrix Zoompad SE is highly regarded for its exceptional build quality and superior acoustic performance. Owners consistently highlight the solid, weighty feel of the aluminum chassis, which elevates it beyond typical budget macro pads.

Know before you buy
Yes, the Zoompad SE supports both standard and Southpaw layouts, allowing you to configure the numpad for left-handed use to better suit your desk setup.
The Essential Edition provides the core components like the case, PCB, and mounting hardware, but you will need to supply your own switches, keycaps, and a USB-C cable to complete the build.
The Zoompad SE features QMK and VIA support, which allows you to remap keys, create macros, and adjust per-key RGB lighting directly through your web browser or the VIA software.
The Tri-mode PCB offers the flexibility of Bluetooth, 2.4GHz wireless, and wired connections, while the dedicated Wired PCB is a simpler, cable-only option for users who prefer a permanent desktop connection.
The Zoompad SE features a hot-swappable PCB, meaning you can easily plug in and remove mechanical switches without needing to solder, making it simple to experiment with different switch types.
The gasket mount system isolates the plate from the case using soft gaskets, which creates a more flexible, cushioned typing feel and a more pleasant sound profile compared to traditional tray-mount designs.
