[GB] LZ CLSm (Classic 75) : [Shiped]

No error when connecting to Jigon. RGB can be turn off when I update it. I have tried update to latest firmware to fix this issue. Now my Jigon is older than the firmware. In the end it still a functional keyboard abet minor annoyance anyways. Thanks for the help along the way, MajorKoos.

Finished building it up today, PC plate is really interesting to type on  :). I'll see if I can get some decent pics of the finished build tomorrow.

One thing I noticed though is that the brass weight seems to be bent, causing it to not be flush on the bottom side of the board. Anyone else seen this with their board?

That should be possible to straighten at least.
Got any ideas? Not really well versed when it comes to working on these stuff. Worried that I'll just end up doing more damage to it.

All you really need to do is support the ends on something padded (so it doesn't mess up the finish) and apply some downward force in the middle.
Body weight alone may be enough.  It depends on how strong you're feeling.  A machine shop can help too.

Finally got mine after the usual 2 week stay in UK customs :rolleyes:, beautifully packaged, thanks LZ.

Really looking forward to building this..

My weight is also bent when removed but I found if I held it firmly in place so flat then screwed it in tightly it was fine. I'm sure you would have noticed but are you certain it's screwed in fully?

Yeah, I screwed it on nice and tight, but it's still protruding in the middle. Guess I'll try and figure out a way to fix it.

Yeah, I got the automated email from paypal when the label is created.

You might wanna get that clear anodized. Can polish it for the same finish as in the pics, but no tarnish or flaking :smile:

Flaking!?
And as I understand you can only buff to a mirror finsh with bare aluminium..... But yes I may have to look into something if it turns out to be high maintenance, maybe a completely different finish like a glossy powder coat.

Definitely saw the post. Price of $750 was the main reason for hesitating. I understand exclusivity so contemplating heavily whether to just buy or pray for a possible round 2 in the future unless LZ boards are a one time production run only?

My weekend project was installing a KBD75 PCB into my CLSm.

Why you ask? I am a sucker for QMK (I put a Clueboard PCB into my LZ St), and the KBD75 PCB supports it. My next goal is to look at porting one of my Leeku PCBs to QMK, but my understanding is that the way RGB is supported may make it a little trickier.

The KBD 75 PCB does not have the USB connector in a compatible location so you'll have to do some surgery:

1. You'll have to de-solder the USB connector from the KBD75 to stop it interfering with the acrylic spacer. You may or may not have to dremel the "bump" that extends from the PCB where the USB connector is mounted depending on whether your PCB sits entirely below the top plate edge, which depends on how flush you managed to get your switches to sit.

2. There are USB connection points on the PCB (next to the USB connector) that are a lot easier to solder to than the tiny holes the USB connector is mounted to.

3. I used the adafruit mini usb breakout board. If I was to do it again I'd put a connector between the breakout board and the PCB to make it possible to disconnect the two.

4. I had to dremel the mounting holes and some extra PCB off the breakout board so it would fit in the cutout for the USB connector in the bottom case. On the plus side the breakout board is now braced against the case, so was able to get away with just electrical taping it in place (with a layer of tape around the breakout board itself)

5. The KBD 75 PCB has a couple less LED's than the PCB that comes with the CLSm, and on mine at least one of the LEDs was slightly defective, so it appears to be of lesser quality to me.

But I am now a very happy camper since all of my boards support QMK.
