Hi Everyone!

Happy New Year! Right after saying goodbye to 2025, we are so glad to bring our first design to cherish a fresh 2026. May our new design deliver more fun and joy for our community! Most of you may be curious about the name Zoom64 "Hunyuan" (混元). No worries, we will break this down for you : )



























The term "Hunyuan" (混元)

Rooted in Taoist philosophy, meaning "Heaven and Earth undivided, all things as one." To better understand, we would love to use the English term "Hybrid Origin" to explain its design concept.

"Hunyuan" (混元) Hybrid Origin

The starting point of design diversity and compatibility.

We hope it can be the hexagon warrior that perfectly integrates structure, craftsmanship, functionality, lighting, color, and acoustic excellence.

The Core of "diversity and compatibility" for keyboard case design

Zoom64, our third-generation functional structural Case

We roughly divide keyboard cases into three generations from our understanding:

First Generation: tray mount case. The function was simply to "carry," like a basic box.

Second Generation: structural case. The function evolved to "carry + provide a different typing feel, allowing everyone to customize their typing experience.

Third Generation: functional structural case. It's more than allowing you to customize your typing experience; it adds a knob to your GH60 PCB, too.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Zoom 64 Hunyuan has TWO Versions

Zoom64 barebone kit

Made for the classics. It includes cases, PCB, and all that a barebone kit needs.



Zoom64 case kits

For 61-key PCBs:

Add a knob to GH60 PCBs! Time to add a knob to wooting or other modules : )



It is built with a hub inside to connect the current Flux60 HE (Babao 60 HE) module and the knob (controlled by VIA).

For 64-key PCBs

For 64-key PCBs, for example, the Flux60 HE (Babao 60 HE) module, the aluminum hall effect PCB module will be released from Wuque Studio soon.



Aesthetic and Industrial Design Diversity

The aesthetics of "Integration." 

Can we have a knob on a 60%? We have been asked again and again, but how to make it integrated beautifully and elegantly at your fingertips? We made it here.

Recessed Metal Knob with Knurling

We insisted on a recessed design to preserve the integrity of the 60% layout, as it should feel like a natural extension of your fingertips. The knob features precise knurling and a push-pin design for true quick release.





Seamless, Edge-Free Macro-Curved Surfaces

The bottom case features an integrated, wrapping curved surface. We've smoothed away all excess edges, making the entirebottom case feel like a water-tumbled pebble, offering a silky-smooth touch at every point of contact.



Invisible 360°Halo Light Bar

We've hidden a 360°ring light bar within the transitional form of the case.

When illuminated, the light emerges as an ambient glow "grown" from the case itself, gently outlining your desk space, not as an abrupt RGB strip.





Aurora Arc Side Profile

The concave side profile is inspired by the "Aurora Bend." 极光之弧(Aurora Bend)After countless prototypes, we found this balance point between the visual center of gravity and layered aesthetics, combining beauty with a sense of depth.





Low Front-Height Sloped Design

Ergonomically angled design to alleviate wrist pressure.





Functional Weight

A "Race Track" profile groove surface with wave texture enhances grip during desk movement.



Artistic Silicone Feet

Moving beyond traditional feet that just cover screw holes, these specially designed twin-ear shapes visually integrate with the macro-curves, as if gently leaning in to listen to every keystroke.



Diverse Finish Treatments

Anodization,acustatic, carving, spray-anodization, we bring them all to Zoom64.
Carving



Marbleano



Spary-anodization

The Drift Gray finish is achieved through an exclusive "Spray-Anodization" hybrid process, meticulously replicating the authentic, matte texture and subtle warmth of linen fabric.

Fine powder, applied via spray electrophoresis, creates an even base that is then sealed and colored through anodization. This results in a uniquely serene gray tone, laced with fine particles of light.



220-mesh Anodizing

It provides the topmost industry-level silky touch feel on the aluminum case.



Composite Shock-Absorption Structure

Silicone gaskets and O-Rings are both optional, supporting "no-foam" tuning to effectively reduce hollow sound.

For full magnetic switch mods, using silicone gaskets is the best pairing; O-Rings are not recommended.





Promosed Colors (Please check the IC form to tell us which one you like)



Proposed Special Editions(Please check the IC form to tell us which one you like)

Note: we already see a lot of interest for the marbleano and carving ones, but we are facing a lot of difficuties on making the acrylic cases, the case is thick and we have been testing for the past half year on the structure, the structure design was finally approved last month but now we are challenged by the finish treatment on the acrylic cases, failed to get ideal finish after sampling 5 times till the day we release this IC. We couldn't manage to send them out to content creators. We need to see how much our community wants us to include this in GB, or shall we put it in a later release?

Please find 3 proposed acrylic cases below:



What we like most is their RGB effect. Check our hands-on test video.

A glance at test-run production units' photos (some were sent to content creators)

Note:

A test run means we produce them using our mass-production suppliers, machines, and materials. It's different from "sampling, which can be sent to special sampling manufacturers, who won't produce the mass production units. We ran a test-run for 2 purposes:

1. Test production before mass production, so that we can make sure mass production goes well.

2. Sent to content creators to share more reviews and collect suggestions too.

Before we took the photos, we were able to upload a blue one's video below
