Meletrix confirmed the Zoom64 as a 64-key mechanical keyboard kit with an "Expected Launch: Late February or early March 2026." The company lists a starting price of $79 and says prices "will remain as announced (starting at $79)." The announcement names both an injection-molded acrylic case and an aluminum metal version, positioning the kit as a budget entry point with a higher-end metal alternative.

The company provided production and delivery timing: "Raw materials have been ordered in advance, and if all goes smoothly, we expect to begin deliveries in April. Please stay tuned for further updates." Meletrix's timeline separates the launch window from delivery, indicating that orders and vendor group buys will precede shipments expected to begin the following month, contingent on production progress.

Metal-case supply and scheduling are specific and limited. Meletrix advised, "If you also love the metal version, we recommend purchasing it sooner rather than later." The firm added, "We have already ordered 3,000 metal cases, with limited quantities per color. CNC production is underway, with domestic orders shipping before CNY, the group buy closing shortly after, and international shipments starting in March. To secure your preferred color, we suggest ordering early." Those statements set a clear scarcity signal for the aluminum option and tie domestic, group-buy, and international shipping to the Chinese New Year window.

Technical specifications published on the product page are comprehensive: tri-mode connectivity described as "Tri-Mode (USB / BLE 5.4 / 2.4GHz)" with wired polling rate 1000Hz, "Bluetooth PCB Polling Rate 133Hz," and 2.4GHz polling rate 1000Hz. Latency figures are listed as "≈0.6ms (Wired) / ≈1.1ms (2.4G) / ≈8ms (BLE)." The kit is hot-swap, VIA compatible, supports N-Key rollover, and lists "South-Facing LEDs" for RGB. The mounting structure is given as "Silica Gel Particle Mounting + O-ring" and mount type as O-Ring Mount, with a typing angle of 6.5°, front/rear heights of 17.8 mm and 32.2 mm, dimensions 297.1 x 122.1 x 36 mm, and package weight 2.4 kg.

Meletrix has moved distribution through a distributed vendor network that includes CannonKeys, Prototypist, Monacokeys, Keebsmod and others. The group-buy product page lists region-specific vendors such as CannonKeys for the US, Mech. Land for Canada, ilumkb and RF Gaming for Singapore, and a TW listing labeled "ZOOM64 Mechanical Keyboard Kit." The GB add-ons page and product listing include optional items and package components such as "Tri-mode 1.2mm Flex-cut PCB(optional)," "Dampening Foam Kit(optional)," plate options, USB cable, 2.4G receiver, stabilizers (3x 2U stabilizers + 1x 6.25U stabilizer), screwdriver, extra cables, O-Ring Mount, Silica Gel Mount, warranty card and operation manual.

Several details remain to be finalized in Meletrix's materials: final day within the late-February/early-March window, per-variant pricing beyond the $79 floor, exact cable length, and the contents of the "ZOOM64 Aluminum Version Quality Disclaimer" file noted on the GB page. Meletrix's public timeline places group-buy close and color allocations around CNY, with international metal-case shipments starting in March and deliveries slated to begin in April if production proceeds as planned.
