What customers say

Know before you buy
The Aluminum plate offers a stiffer, more consistent typing feel, while the Polycarbonate plate provides more flex for a softer, deeper sound profile. Carbon Fiber sits in the middle, offering a balanced, snappy typing experience.
No, the Zoom TKL EE is a barebones kit. You will need to purchase your own mechanical switches and keycap set separately to complete the build.
The TKL layout removes the dedicated numeric keypad, which saves desk space and allows for a more ergonomic mouse position. It retains the function row and navigation keys, making it a popular choice for both gaming and productivity.
Yes, the backplate is designed to be modular. You can change it later to refresh the aesthetic of your board without needing to disassemble the entire internal structure.
The Zoom TKL EE supports standard MX-style mechanical switches. It features a hot-swappable PCB, so you can install and replace switches without the need for soldering.
The Lilac finish is durable, but like any high-quality coated keyboard, it should be kept away from harsh chemicals. A simple microfiber cloth is sufficient to keep the surface clean and free of fingerprints.
