Know before you buy
The barebones kit includes the case, PCB, plate, and battery, but it does not come with switches or keycaps. You will need to purchase and install your own mechanical switches and keycaps to complete the build.
Yes, the Zoom75 TIGA is fully compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux. You can easily remap keys and adjust settings using QMK/VIA software to match your preferred operating system.
The TIGA features a screwless assembly design and a magnetic daughterboard, making the building process very straightforward. It is designed to be accessible for both beginners and experienced enthusiasts.
Tri-Mode connectivity allows you to switch between wired, 2.4 GHz wireless, and Bluetooth connections. This gives you the flexibility to use the keyboard across multiple devices, such as a desktop, laptop, or tablet, without needing to unplug cables.
The integrated screen is managed through the keyboard's firmware. You can customize its display and functionality using QMK/VIA, which provides a user-friendly interface for mapping keys and configuring the screen output.
The thinner 1.2mm PCB with flex-cuts is designed to provide a softer, more cushioned typing experience. It allows for more 'flex' when you press the keys, which many users find more comfortable and satisfying than a rigid, standard PCB.
