HIGH-QUALITY INTEGRATIONS-ONLY HERE - We're proud to be the first to offer the Zoo65 as a prebuilt-in a host of configurations you won't find anywhere else. We've assembled six Zoo65 boards with our own exclusive keycap sets - DCX Jasmine, DCX Dolch and DCX Permafrost - available in either a tactile or linear switch configuration.

A ZOO OF HIGH-QUALITY CONFIGURATIONS—ONLY HERE - Originally sold as a kit, MOMOKA's Zoo65 Keyboard garnered a veritable stampede of fans with its exceptional build quality and attention to detail. Now, here on Drop, we're proud to be the first to offer the Zoo65 as a prebuilt—in a host of configurations you won't find anywhere else. That's right: we've assembled our own zoo of Zoo65 boards for a total of six typing experiences topped off with our own exclusive keycap sets.



Peruse these exhibits to find boards with our DCX Jasmine, DCX Dolch, DCX Permafrost Keycap Sets—each one available in either a tactile or linear configuration, thanks to onboard Moondrop x G-Square Mechanical Switches. You'll also see a host of eye-catching case colors, as well as the usual list of high-end features found on the Zoo65—including a layered gasket-mounting system, dual PORON pads, intricate case engravings, and more. For every one of these boards, you'll also have your choice of either a FR4 or polycarbonate plate equipped, with the alternative option shipped so you can mix and match. Let's go to the Zoo.



AN UNPRECEDENTED SWITCH COLLABORATION - When selecting a switch, sound matters just as much as touch. It just makes sense, then, that a switch manufacturer and an audio brand, together, would get both sides of the equation just right. Moondrop and G-Square Studio did just that. Working in close collaboration, they created a line of switches with near-incomparable acoustics and performance. Featured on these Zoo65 boards are the bulkier, tactile Tessence and the slightly lighter, linear Lunalight. Both are made from precisely molded nylon with high-quality springs to produce just the right amount of resonance. Plus, their nylon housings yield mirror-like inner walls for a high-quality finish outside and in. It's a balanced equation made possible by the expertise of two brands, with two specialities: audio and typing.

Wimpy says "I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a new KB today" (but NOT 2.5 months from now !)

ps...if you don't recognize this saying, that's ok, it just means you're considerably younger than me :D

Anyhow, I don't really see anything special about these KB's, other than the colors and choices of keycaps, so just exactly how many arms, legs, kidneys, and 1st bornes are these techno-marvels gonna cost us ??

Oh do tell pleeeze :)
 
I'd rather have a burger...
 
I'll pass on the board because I really do like my F keys, but I am intrigued by the switches so got a set of the tactiles to replace mine.
