What customers say
The Zoom TKL EE in Blush Pink earns high praise for its stunning aesthetics and exceptional build quality, making it an accessible entry into custom keyboards. Customers adore the soft, elegant colorway, noting it perfectly matches promotional images. Beyond looks, satisfaction centers on performance. Reviewers consistently highlight the satisfying acoustic profile, often described as a pleasant 'thock' sound, which is effectively delivered by the gasket mounting system. The aluminum chassis feels premium, exceeding expectations for an Essential Edition. Furthermore, the hot-swappable PCB ensures easy assembly for all skill levels. This keyboard successfully merges a high-end typing experience, robust construction, and beautiful design without a high cost, leading to strong customer loyalty.
Know before you buy
The plate material significantly alters the keyboard's flex and sound profile. Aluminum provides a stiffer, more consistent feel, while Polycarbonate offers a softer, more flexible typing experience. Carbon Fiber sits in the middle, offering a crisp, snappy response.
The glass backplates offer a vibrant, colorful aesthetic that complements the Blush Pink case. The SS PVD mirror options provide a more premium, reflective metallic finish that adds weight and a sophisticated contrast to the board.
The board supports standard MX-style mechanical switches. It is designed for enthusiasts, so ensure your chosen switches are compatible with the PCB's mounting style before assembly.
A TKL layout removes the dedicated number pad found on full-sized keyboards, resulting in a more compact footprint. This provides more room for your mouse, making it an ideal choice for gamers or those with limited desk space.
Yes, the Zoom TKL EE is designed for modularity. You can swap out the plate, backplate, or switches later if you decide to change the aesthetic or typing feel of your board.
