Meletrix is back with the Zoom65 Essential Edition V2! Sporting some exterior changes (including a seamless top case), the new keyboard retains its signature soft typing feel and thocky sound profile, as you can hear for yourself in the video above.

Aside from the seamless top case, the new Zoom65 can also be configured with a glass backplate now, among other options that include stainless steel and carbon fibre. For our particular review unit, we opted for a glass backplate, and it does give the affordable keyboard a sleek, unique aesthetic.

The Zoom65 Essential Edition V2 will enter groupbuy on 26 January next week. Starting at only $175 (about RM755), it’s certainly a budget-friendly offering. Stay tuned for our full review of the new Zoom65 on our YouTube channel!
