The Tri-Mode PCB enables per-key RGB lighting, offering a diverse selection of colors and effects to enhance your visual experience. It is compatible with wired, wireless, and 2.4GHz modes, except for the wired PCB which lacks this feature.
NOTE: Telescope Logo Design instead of Dot RGB Design.
New WS Stabilizer V3.1
The new stabilizers that come with ZOOM98 are in a 9+1 configuration, 9x2U+1x 6.25U, and support splitting. This new version of the black stabilizers is which follows the original ZOOM75 silicone stabilizers, and is changed from the original pure black to glitter black. At the same time, it is lightly factory-lubed so novices can easily get started and no longer have to worry about lubrication.
Multi-Layout
Unlike traditional keyboards, you are not stuck with just one layout on Zoom98! Change things up every now and then withsplit (spacebars, back space, left shift, right shift),stepped caps Lock, ISO & ANSI enter.
Foam Included
PCB and Bottom Case are made of lighter PORON material. To reduce resonance, many tests were done on the foaming material this time. We made the PORON lighter and the foam pores dense. Every minor detail matters a lot, with the current poron, the sound is more concentrated and is deeper than with normal dampeners.
