I was originally confused why they called this Zoom75 the TIGA, but taking a look at the back of the keyboard makes it pretty clear. This keyboard is inspired by Ultraman Tiga, one of the most popular Ultraman protagonists in history. The rounded contouring at the back of the board in addition to curved colored accents are really reminiscent of the the character. If you're a 90s kid who grew up around Japanese media/grew up in Asia, you probably know what I'm talking about 🤭
Keyboard: Zoom75 TIGA
Keycaps: GMK Olive
Switches: WS POM+
A few notes for the Zoom75 TIGA:
BUILD OPTIONS: Four mounting options and three dampening materials. The Zoom75 TIGA introduces some new options from the studio like the elastic bar mounting and cork dampening material.
PACKAGING: The packaging shown in this video is for the prototype - packaging for commercial launch will be slightly smaller to allow for better shipping rates.
SURPRISE PACK: For every Zoom75 TIGA order, users have the option to add a "$1 Mystery Pack" to their order which can contain either: 1) a Zoom75 TIGA badge, 2) special design keycap, 3) a keyboard mat, 4) a random switch, or 5) a random accessory. You can find more information on the mystery pack here: https://meletrix.com/products/zoom75-...
POCKET WUQUE APP: Meletrix is working on the Pocket Wuque app in preparation for launch of the Zoom75 TIGA. I wasn't able to upload GIFs to the board during filming, but this is a known issue, and Meletrix will be addressing this in an update.
SCROLL WHEEL: This is probably one of those aspects of the board that will be highly contentious, but the scroll wheel placement actually works for me. For the launch version of the board, Meletrix will be making the scroll wheel a bit smaller so that its operation is smoother and less scratchy.
3D PRINTING: Meletrix is making some of the Zoom75 TIGA accessories files (like the Lego display shelf) open source so that you can print them yourself if you have access to a 3D printer.
ZOOM PAD TIGA: The Zoom75 TIGA will launch alongside the Zoom Pad TIGA! Colors and finishing will match between the two so that you can complete your set up.
WRIST REST: The Zoom75 TIGA will also launch with the Mercury Wrist Rest - an all aluminum wrist rest that will match the color of the board.
