Welcome
Jupiter’s Eye Deskmat collab
from Jae (keyed)
Zeus TKL in ALU 6063 with a two-tone gold/green on a
KEEBMATshown
Introducing the mighty ZEUS TKL and ZEUSPAD
(numpad)
(All options subject to change..)
Zeus TKL is an original, 1%, latest generation Pearlboards
board, culminating from years of research and development,
prototyping and custom board making.
Accompanying the
Zeus is the Zeuspad (numpad) which has the same physical
profile as the TKL.
The expected sale date for this board is minimum 4 months
from now, and the prices are high.
The best way to stay
updated is through my /#zeus-tkl channelDiscord
Lore
Zeus is the sky god in ancient Greek mythology, who rules as
king of the gods of Mount Olympus. As my keyboards are Greek
themed, and TKL is the largest form factor I will make, AND
Zeus is wireless, the name was appropriate. This TKL is
packed with very cool and unique features, and will rule my
lineup for years to come.
About me
Florida based mech enthusiast and bespoke PCB/Keyboard
designer/maker. I’ve been around since 2017 and have
designed quite a few mech products in the past and hosted a
few GB’s as well. Currently, I have 3 exciting new projects
in the making (Atlas 65 BY PEARLBOARDS, Pearl 40 R2 and
Zeus) which all share similar wireless and QMK capabilities,
and you can check out on mywebsite. The Pearlboards lineup is slowly growing, and I can’t
wait for you to be a part of the family<3
Friendly Disclaimers
This board plans to be sold in a traditional Group Buy
manner which experiences year long wait times and unexpected
complications. Following that statement, any and all parts
may be limited and not in stock post fulfillment.
For
the Bluetooth PCBs running ZMK firmware, please note that
ZMK is complicated and fully in-development right now. Many
features are not yet fully supported.

FAQ (Frequently asked questions) and info
Common
What does the 1% mean? Pearlboards keyboards are
very limited, sold years apart and offered with unseen
amounts of options and features. The 1% mentality is not at
all being about the best/elite/most expensive/rarest/most
popular. It’s simply the truth that because of unique
design, time, availability and price, not everyone will
want/own one of these mechs, and the few who do are the
without a doubt the 1% of demographics within this huge
community
You mentioned an Atlas65 board, but is already an Atlas65
and Atlas keyboard? The original Atlas name was changed to
“ATLAS65” by request of NASP (Ortho Atlas designer).
“Atlas65” was conceived both in design and in renders AND
shared before the Pantheon Labs Atlas65. I am sure there
will be no issues distinguishing them as I am branding it as
“Atlas65 By Pearlboards”
How do we purchase a ZEUSPAD
numpad? It will be ran with the Zeus TKL, and you can
purchase it by itself
Which PCB is standard with a purchase? QMK solder PCB is the
standard. The QMK hotswap, BT solder and BT hotswap will be
extra
Will I be able to choose single case colors
during the GB? Yes, that is standard. Two-tone options will
be reserved for Special Editions
How long does the smallest 150mah batter last on the Zeus
TKL? 5 hours
How does the DAC and audio jack work? When
you plug Zeus into a computer, it will recognize the DAC as
an audio device. You can then set that as your audio output
How does the internal audio speaker work? In your audio
settings, set your DAC as your audio output. Both the
speaker and the audio jack will output audio as the speaker
piggy backs off the DAC
ZMK
What is ZMK? The firmware equivalent to QMK, used for the
wireless Bluetooth PCBs -
ZMK
How do you flash ZMK? Similarly to QMK, you build the
firmware, double tap the physical reset button and flash
with a pc
How does ZMK work? Similar to QMK, except you can pair and
switch between many devices while wired or unwired
Does
ZMK work without a battery? Yes, you never have to use it
wirelessly or unwired if you don’t want to. Just leave the
battery out or turn it off
How is the wireless performance/latency? Excellent, no
issues seen on my end
Should I pick a ZMK or QMK PCB?
Both are amazing gifts to the keyboard world and it all
depends on your lifestyle
QMK
What is Haptic Feedback? A tiny QMK configurable
circular motor you solder onto the PCB that vibrates to
provide rumble when typing
What is a Piezo Speaker? A tiny QMK configurable device
soldered on the PCB that produces audible beeps and can play
8-bit tunes
What can I do with the rear Rotary Encoder?
It has 3 (push, rotate clockwise and counterclockwise)
programmable functions which can be mapped to any keycodes
What can I do with the OLED Screen? It comes pre-flashed,
but can also program that one with QMK or ZMK if you dive
into the code
Other
Where do I find a 10U spacebar and stabs? On my website, or
you can harvest it off a vintage board
