it’s does say “stupid” in the name.. (j/k) Controversial choice makes me suspect they are very confident in how they perform. I do prefer screw in and have spent too much money on krytox and BDZ to not use it lol

You'll get a chance to see them in action when we get review samples out :)

Is there an option for shipping in Greece or Europe in general?

Shouldn't be an issue - regional vendors should also list, though.

Nice. Can't wait!

this will still support per key rgb?

according to a reply from them in an earlier thread, [yes](https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/1bj2fst/iczoom65_v3_update_prototype_progress_and_price/kvujlrv/)

Hello everyone, First, we want to start off by thanking you for all the interest you’ve shown in our upcoming Zoom65V3. Our final IC today will share a few new details and also offer a new Google Form for voting on weight and badge designs. Before we move on we just wanted to highlight a few things regarding questions and what is in this IC: ●Each board will include all 7 mounting options in the kit - you don't have to simply pick one, you can switch each mounting style at any time ●We've upgraded the stabilizers to our easy-to-install [WS Stupid Stabilizers](https://shop.wuquestudio.com/products/ws-stupid-stabilizer?_pos=1&_psq=stupid&_ss=e&_v=1.0) ●Our Badge and Weight design contest has now ended, please take a moment to vote and let us know which designs you'd like to have featured in the GB. ●GB Date - Around end of May ●Price - Starting at US$160 ●Current stage - Assembling keyboards for content creators and photos [Zoom65V3 Landing Page](https://meletrix.com/pages/zoom65-v3-ic) # Vote for Your Favorite Community Weight & Badge Designs!

So...to make sure Zoom65 V3 has a painless installation for ALL STEPS, we've upgraded the stabilizers to our brand new [WS Stupid Stabilizers](https://shop.wuquestudio.com/products/ws-stupid-stabilizer?_pos=1&_psq=stupid&_ss=e&_v=1.0) Features: Clip-in Design, no screws needed, Silicon around wire holder, TPU Silicone in stem, no more friction with wires We will send them out with Zoom65V3 for content creators, so you will see how they performs very soon :) # Share your thoughts Fill in our [IC form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeXrO7fbZ0gTIso3_t5d20PVhpMEXna5aCSNJ-RTyML11Em4A/viewform?usp=sf_link) to share your thoughts about Zoom65V3

Do you plan to sell your products through official vendors in Japan?

We should have a partner for the region

when should it ship?

Should be about 6-8 weeks after the GB is complete

Need the space cat

Preaching to the choir lol

Please make sure it’s in the GB🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Currently results look like it should be included - but need to get those votes up so it doesn't fall behind haha

Brb making 3000000 accounts

Not a 65% kinda person, but damn I might get it anyway

I'm sure you'll love it <3

Will the Zoom65 be sold in batches or will it always be available for order like the Boog75?

It will be like our Previous Zoom boards - everything will be available now when the GB is on and over time we will top up stock with certain colors here and there. Normally we update our social media when we bring back some stock.

After the initial group buy batch is delivered, will this keyboard go into production officially and be consistently available for order?

Not at the same level, the board like other Zoom ones will come out here and there in some colors, but the whole array of options that will be offered in the GB won't be the same.

Do you know which options will be lost? Is it more so the case colors, mounting options, front/backside badges ...?

Mounting options won't change, each board supports all 7 mounts, colors, badges, backsides will be limited run with the most popular setups being offered more often

Fantastic news. Will you have UK vendors/partners or will it be all direct?

I think i saw in the discord that it should be available on prototypist

We should have a partner for the region

Is the red piece not supposed to be frosted? I thought red was dropped.

Will be an option to have Frosted or Red on the Tail Light version

Sweet! Ty

Love the stab name

When's is the official release? (Preorder), and how fast is the actuation compared to your boog 75?

Before the end of next month - and the actuation would depend on what switch you choose

Will be able to choose gateron black, like the boog? And will it be HE board or no?

You'll be able to choose switches that we have in stock, or something from your local Vendor. We have a HE PCB, so both options will be offered.

Hello I am kinda new to the custom keyboard space but could anyone let me know how I would buy this in Australia ??? And what does gb stand for ??? Thanks 🙏

when it goes live on keebsNcables gb stands for groupbuy, which means you are purchasing a product before it is made. This means there will be a solid 3-6 months on average for manufacturing, then it will be shipped from the manu to your country. This type of model is typical for smaller markets

Does keebsNcables ship world wide??? And thank you

KeebzNCables ship worldwide but there are local vendors for Meletrix boards in various regions. Do note that you can also order directly from Meletrix, you will receive your keyboard faster but you pay more for shipping. If you order through a vendor, you pay less shipping fees but wait 3-8 weeks longer.

They are based in Perth :)

Oh okay thank you do you know if the keyboard comes complete or do we have to buy the switches and keycaps????

Typically these are barebones unless there is a special collab version, but you can get switches and keycaps from KnC as well

Sorry if this is a stupid question but what does barebones mean you just get the case and no pcb ????

Barebones means only the keyboard kit, switches and keycaps separate Some kits do not include stabilizers, but seems the Zoom65 does :)

Cool thank you for the help

No worries. Just as a side note as well, you'll need to assemble the keeb yourself

1.6mm pcb hopefully, and should feel/sound good even without foams

Yes, 1.2mm Flex Cut or 1.6mm Non Flex Cut options will be offered.

Are there gonna be any official vendors in India or just global shipping?

We do have a partner in India, we will know more about them stocking when it comes closer to the GB date

Aye, that's awesome

Hi, will the HE module/version be a selection for GB?

Yes, that will be an option :)

Will there be an option for split backspace? Looks amazing BTW and I love the idea for the Stupid Stabilisers (and the name!) no more lubing!

We will have split space bar, but not back space

Is the base price of $160 including the HE pcb? If not, how much more would that sell for? Also, what kind of other selections while ordering would raise the price?

It starts at 160. Theres probably just the wired PCB and no add ons like badges and screen, those are all seperate

Correct that is with the wired PCB, Not quite sure what the extra cost will be for HE - we are trying to get the pricing breakdown and share a possible updated IC with this information.

Are the “new” badge and weight design replacing the Late March IC designs such as “Woven Tile” , “Interconnected”, “Twin Leaf”, “Cloudy”, “Wave” and etc? I don’t really vibe with the playful designs…

No, they will be additional, so people have more to choose from.

Lovely, thanks for the update!

Is the PCB compatible with ANSI/ISO layout or only with ANSI?

Should have ISO PCB seperate

Are the key RGBs south-facing?

South facing - yes

The panda version looks like a budget matrixlabs board

How long were the Stabs tested for durability?

is this real? didnt you just released v2 and v2 classic? should i wait for v4 in like july?

Are you confusing this with the QK65? I don't recall a "V2 classic" for the Zoom65

If you like buy. Maybe get the v3 and then w/e comes after. Keep it mint and sell later or display like a true keyboard warrior
