Meletrix Zoom98 Review: Perfect for Gaming and Productivity

mmorpg.com:

Meletrix has been on a tear over the last two years, essentially kicking off our current era of affordable-yet-excellent custom mechanical keyboards and propelling us forward with killer releases like the Zoom65 V2 and Zoom75 . Until recently, if you’re a fan of number pads on your keyboards, the custom keyboard hobby has mostly left you out in the cold. Meletrix is officially ready to reveal its answer to the Numpad faithful with the Zoom98: a compact full-size keyboard kit that has instantly become one of the best options on the market for price and performance — especially if you’re a gamer.

The Zoom98 carries through many of the biggest design elements of Meletrix’s prior keyboards, including its soft, deep typing experience and satisfying acoustics, as well as its modular screen and kit options. For gamers looking to cut the cord, it’s also available with tri-mode wireless that supports fast 2.4GHz wireless for a wired-like gaming experience. It’s just as impressive as Meletrix’s recent compact keyboards but represents a perfect middle ground between gaming and productivity.

This kit will go into group buy on 10/10 and run until 10/30. Prices start at $179 and extend to $269 depending on your choices.
