Well the others demanded having the LZ CLS to purchase instead of his other designs hence this is what's available now.
Again if you are in the minority you just need to suck it up and move along and allow the others wanting this Design to buy it and enjoy a future manufactured LZ Keyboard.
What ever the chosen design the quality is way above anyone else's in the world today because he actually has access to Brilliant Manufacturers that really do 100% perfection in Aluminium, Stainless and Brass.

People have been begging for classic designs, this is a hommage to the LZ-FE. Please compare this design with the LZ-FE which predates the 360c design.

Okay, let me recapture ...
You think the LZ-CLS is a ripoff of the 360c but you don't see "any striking similarities" with the LZ-FE?
Would you call the 360c an original design compared to the older LZ-FE?
Do you happen to have a OTD 360c and worry about the market value?

theres no similarity between this and the 360c, but 456gt questionable. but theres only so many designs out there, I think LZ can make something that beats both in terms of quality
Besides 360c is no good
Post by: Damonskv on Thu, 26 January 2017, 03:15:28
The design is most similar to the 456gt and jane ce (although it is possible to say that the angle is quite different, and the design of the brass weight)Tbh I don't see any striking similarities. LZ-FE is built on a different design.

With 360c I do not see any similarities, except that CLS is also a Korean TKL ;)

Definitely very similar to the 456gt or 356.2 with some minor differences. But then again, there's also plenty of boards with this kind of design, notably TGR and Matrix boards

Please quit it with the drama. Even if this was an exact carbon copy of the design of another board, it's not like there are copyrights regarding them. It would be frowned upon, of course, but there can only be so many TKL designs.

The exclusiveness and emphasis on original items has been holding the community back for too long, newer is better.

Regarding the drama. I think this should be kept to other threads and discussions as it only clogs up this thread and leaves a bad aftertaste for all people who are really interested. Maybe open a vent/rant thread where open discussion and critic is encouraged rather than making yourself seen in a bad light here.

As for the 10° angle, I am frequently switching between my Viper (11°), my Orion v2 (around 6-7° with the new feet) and my Realforce (I think about 8°?) and I am having no trouble with either of those. I would even go as far and say that the Viper is the most comfortable to use for me so I am really excited for the angle on this board.

This will be my first custom keyboard and I'd like to have a spare PCB in case I mess it up (crossing my fingers).
So I'd have:
Black Winkey 86/87: Alu Switch Plate + Brass Weight Plate + 2 Cherry Stabz + 1 Extra PCB
Thanks a lot!!!!! :D

Can someone elaborate on why the LZ TKL may be of higher quality than boards posted in IC with GB's looming? I'd like a TKL and fully understand the machining is of a high quality with LZ's boards but am curious as to some specifics from someone that can provide a comparison (specifically between perhaps Duck and TX boards as I have those or just general info). The premium isn't negligible but debating in my head as to whether it's worth it isn't helping without some insight.
Alongside top tier quality control and craftsmenship/design, it is also a pretty exclusive case. LZ is pretty OG and has a proven track record for insane quality among k.customs. this is from my limited knowledge of his works as I don't own anything (too expensive)

LZ is in TOTAL Control verses everywhere else where 3rd parties have to wait and put up with sub-standard manufacturing. LZ has the names of the very best in Aluminium makers in Seoul as well as specialty manufacturers for other equipment. Let's face it here, he has been doing this for a long time now so he knows what to achieve and what the Quality will be.
His version of Quality is up their with Rolls Royce, Bentley and other hand manufactured pieces of art that very few people will ever have a chance to own. If you want the absolute BEST with no excuses, you ALWAYS buy an LZ keyboard from the Master himself. If you have never received an LZ Keyboard before then you will be amazed at what will come to your front door, no matter where you live.
Also because he is in charge from start to finish you get his keyboard far quicker than anything from MassDrop or any other Group Buy organizer. Once you go LZ everything else will just seem dull and boring within the Keyboard Universe.

You have to be on GH long enough to see Elrick complements (and exaggerates) every GB he is in..
Jokes aside though, I have had good experience with the three (SK, RE, SQ) LZ boards that I own. I have seen GH, SE and FE personally too and they are equally good. But to be fair, I haven't seen any board with bad enough quality that would actually bother me. The worst I have seen is the inconsistent anodization color of 360 corsa and the uneven anodization on kmac mini, and they don't bother me at all.

The worst I have seen is the inconsistent anodization color of 360 corsa and the uneven anodization on kmac mini, and they don't bother me at all.
Gotcha. I never had any of LZ keyboards before as I just got into the whole "K"ustom keyboards world. Looking forward to own one of these bad boys :thumb:

Alu vs SS plate?
Brass vs SS weight?
I've also tried to google but I can't seem to find a definite on the angles of a Filco (or Ducky etc) in both the standard orientation or with the feet folded out.
I assume shipping to Australia is the same as Asia?

There's no major difference. More about personal preference/taste. For truly classic, go with alu plate and brass weight.

Hi
1. Acrylic plate is not applied. I test and let you know
This would be cool if it worked out. At least having the option as I know some don't care for it.
Post by: CommonCurt on Fri, 27 January 2017, 08:04:20
His version of Quality is up their with Rolls Royce, Bentley and other hand manufactured pieces of art that very few people will ever have a chance to own. If you want the absolute BEST with no excuses, you ALWAYS buy an LZ keyboard from the Master himself. If you have never received an LZ Keyboard before then you will be amazed at what will come to your front door, no matter where you live.
Once you go LZ everything else will just seem dull and boring within the Keyboard Universe.

I should have noted when he compared the quality of LZ keyboard to Rolls Royce!
Because I'm more of a Pagani Zonda or McLaren P1 kind of a guy for quality in performance in autosports.... lol jk
Extremely excited for the keyboard nonetheless.

Does the PCB come with RGB LED modules on its underside? The OP only mentions presoldered diodes, resistors and micro-controller.

Only put together far better. Suspect this LZ model will also attain a far greater weight here as well.
You know the fanatics here on Geekhack, only custom made keyboards that weigh more than most generic GH heads will be worth owning :thumb: .

weight difference is marginal since this has a continuous weight, but the angle is less, so there is less aluminum. Unless you mean usb over a fixed cable, both are built fine. And yeah this thing is 456GT 2.0
Yeah since every once in a while you will get someone posting that they are looking for a 456GT hence LZ is here, supplying it in an updated version.
Pity because his own designs where far more innovative looking because you will know that it was an original LZ Design just by how it sits on any desk. Hope he isn't dissuaded from releasing far more different shaped keyboards because they will be unique and future enthusiast's shall be begging anyone to sell them that keyboard.
Always buy a keyboard that stands out otherwise it becomes another conservative venture done numerous time before, so there is nothing new to boast about. Pity it will just sit with the "456GT tag" and not take the high ground of design because most don't want that.

From my experience it's actually (just a bit) more to ship to Canada, so we've got that going for us.
Oh, and our lenient import laws that allow us to not pay duties for most of the stuff we buy overseas.

Yeah, it says that it's a tx87 in the OP.
Hi
1. Acrylic plate is not applied. I test and let you know
This would be cool if it worked out. At least having the option as I know some don't care for it.
Does the PCB come with RGB LED modules on its underside? The OP only mentions presoldered diodes, resistors and micro-controller.
It's not mentioned but I think it's just a TX87 PCB though right?
As the keyboard has no RGB underglow, will the supplied TX-87 PCB still come with underside RGB modules soldered? I am asking because my TX-84 board which has an aluminum bottom, and therefore no underglow, still came with a TX-87 PCB with RGB modules soldered in. If there is no acrylic diffuser, I would prefer the PCB to not have any of these RGB modules (even if they can be turned off).

He said he will check if a diffuser will work. Personally, I'd just take whichever is cheapest if the diffuser doesn't work but I can't see why having them on there would be an issue. Though I do believe it was mentioned it would be presoldered with everything besides the SMD LED.

i use win+E, win+M, win+R, win+number row key, win+arrow keys, win+prt scrn, and more on a day to day basis
Same here and although some people might think they can do without the Windows key with Ctrl + Esc, the functions you have mentioned are not that frequently used by "average" PC users so maybe that's why people think they will be fine lol
I'm willing to bet many people do not know what the combination of Win+(x) can do except for maybe Win+R which I would guess a lot of people know :D
Just remap the key, I personally never use right alt so that gets remapped to winkey (when necessary).
hm i guess that works. binding it to a two key combination is silly, but you're right in saying that right shift is pretty useless

I agree, but within a keyboard community I figure it would be pretty common knowledge, I think it's just a cool/trendy thing but whatever works for you. I need both L/R Win keys... win+e/r/d/l all day.

I've swapped a GON TKL pcb with a tx87 pcb in my tx87 board so i would assume it would be the same for this LZ boardThe TX87 PCB is A87 sized, so any other A87 sized will work too. Meaning you could find the appropriate TKL A87 sized pcb's any of these will work
TX
Gon
PS2AVR
Alphas - alps with new plate
Thanks!
Just wanted to let you know that the GON PCB isn't a direct fit with the last run of these LZ boards. Spacebar is flipped, wires will hit the plate, and there's some clearance issues at the USB port as well.
When comparing a "stricter" A87 PCB like the Leeku TX87:
Spacebar Stabilizer mounts are 180 degree rotated (the TX87 also sticks down a bit, and in reverse, doesn't fit a GON NerD case even if you factor in the USB orientation)
Right Shift stabilizer is also 180 degree rotated
USB port (default) on GON NerD TKL is on the bottom of the PCB (you will have to request one to be produced with it flipped upside down)
I don't know why people keep blindly saying it'll fit into everything out there :D I think I've only seen yuktsi and kin25 make the changes to their plates to accomodate both types of PCBs. The TX87 has HUGE stabilizer holes to accomodate both types of PCBs, and the TGR Jane has more subtle changes to its plate.

WKL Silver my dude, it's a classicHi LZ,
Will the surface of the Aluminum treated? I prefer smooth Surface like TX series. Or will it have similar surface texture like the Ergo? Thanks!
I will release the samples soon.
We could use some samples. I am torn between gray winkey with 7u spacebar and wkl silver. :-\
I would get dark grey if you're not sure. silver is kinda plain.

I wonder how the Black on this LZ CLS will look compared to Duck Blackbird.
Are they 2 different kind of Blacks?
I just wish I could see the color sample after anodizing to decide for 100%

Meh, I've gotten other color boards and black just fits in too well with my speakers, monitor, monitor mount, and mouse. It also is just as neutral as grey and silver (thus these are the 3 colors offered). Silver looks good with contrasting dark colored sets and beige (imo). Grey and black also look good with many sets, just a preference I feel.

Right. I initially thought about silver but I felt that it would stand out too much on my desk so that was a turn off.
If I had a money tree I would also have gone for the silver WKL.
For now.. I'm gonna stick with the black LZ-CLS :D

Ya but if you pretend like that info doesn't exist you get to complain about the diffuser, like a good hipster. I don't really plan to use it but I think it adds an element that maybe someday I'd like to use.

in my experience, grey is the most versatile and works well with most keyset colorways.

Heyo, good to see you on GH as well! Couldn't pass down an opportunity to own an LZ board. Looks like it's 65% and TKL season for me right now.
in my experience, grey is the most versatile and works well with most keyset colorways.
All three colors looked nice to me, but I was thinking of throwing OG Cherry dyesubs on this, and the gray spoke to me a bit more than black or silver. It was close, though.

I'm a little bit confused between LED back lighting and LED underglow.
Do this board support RGB LED on the switch like Ducky Shine RGB series?
Does underglow means installing some modules at the bottom side of the PCB? And if that's the case do we need to buy those LED modules ourselves?
Does the keyboard comes with any LED of some sort at all?
Thank you

Understand completely because everyone was sure when sending you the order and like in any restaurant they've changed their minds about the meal they are about to pay for.
This will happen when dealing with Geekhack Central, it happens with every Group Order here so be patient and let everyone know that if they consistently hold up the process by changing their minds they can expect lengthy delays, that should shut them up quickly ;) .

The invoicing starts today. Considering how many orders there are, and order changes there were I wouldn't be surprised if no one has received an invoice atm.

But...none of them look like the SS logo...the similarities are that people are mocking it up in black/white for simplicity and the letters have hard angles in them. I think most would agree that there is really no reason to bring up SS unless you thought there was a specific logo proposal that seemed related to the SS. Also, it could be construed as offensive to some to associate their work with the SS or SS-inspired.

When people use PayPal they can either 1) Pay with Credit Card or 2) Pay from Checking/Savings Accounts if I remember correctly.
For me I'll be paying the invoice using the Credit Card, but is that what's preventing you from paying for the keyboard as well?

One thing to note for people in the U.S.A. since this is an international paypal invoice, if you use your credit card to pay the invoice they could hit you with an additional fee.

I can't seem to pay the invoice on my end. It kept saying that "credit cards are not accepted for this payment", even though I'm using a bank account for it. I called into Paypal, and they said that the recipient's payment preferences are preventing me from paying this way. Could you check? I can't pay the invoice like this.
I was going to pay mine tomorrow but how are you trying to pay the invoice?
When people use PayPal they can either 1) Pay with Credit Card or 2) Pay from Checking/Savings Accounts if I remember correctly.
For me I'll be paying the invoice using the Credit Card, but is that what's preventing you from paying for the keyboard as well?
Hmmm..
One thing to note for people in the U.S.A. since this is an international paypal invoice, if you use your credit card to pay the invoice they could hit you with an additional fee.
Oh damn, really? I had no idea.
With that said i'll resort to use my checking account for purchase then.
Thanks for the heads up.
No. I was using my checking account. NOT my card.
And it STILL doesn't work.
This happened to me with an artisan purchase. I spent most of the day on the phone with paypal, my bank, and my credit cards. It apparently was an issue with the invoice itself. I ended up sending the payment directly to the artisan. Perhaps ask LZ if he could send another invoice.

Heres another try. If the keycap is too much let me know, I think its a nice touch.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/0rOJmKU.png)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/6XDdSaQ.png)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/27q2u93.png)
I like this! Consider manually adjusting the kerning in "LIMITED" so that there is space between each letter, and I think this will look very nice.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/uCYDoDl.png)Heres another try.

I like this too. If I were commissioning this I'd ask to see the two options in slightly less bold type.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/eeHLJYB.png)
Nice. :thumb: Seeing the "slightly less bold" version leaves me unable to pick one. Both are pretty appealing in their own way. Good work @Cocopah! I'm glad I don't have to choose.

This happened to me as well, I'm in singapore my card currency is in SGD, I've never had any issues paying invoices and all in USD, but I couldn't pay for one of my artisan invoices as well. I called paypal and they told me the issue was because my card was registered in SGD and couldn't pay in USD (?????? Which was weird cos I use this card for all online purchases including amazon). Nonetheless, Paypal offered to change the default currency to USD and that worked. You might want to call in and check.

If that is the case I'm interested in knowing which PCB it will use.
Looking at that picture this design would only be possible with a PCB that has the USB port offset from the standard position. The mounting point is too far to the right for a usb port in the standard position and the USB cutout would collide with the plate there.
Or it's a 65% which is also possible since Linx3 teased his 65% and they could just do a bulk PCB order to save a few bucks.

At least you'll hope it's still your front door. Because you forgot about it and decided you needed a bigger yard for the dog and moved across town. The bastard that moved into your former house found the package and fell in love with the keeb... keeping it for himself...

What can I say, it's LZ all the WAY ;D !
He's gotten better at making vast numbers of keyboards like a production line and HE is now in charge of everything, hence the speed at which this whole venture is moving.
When the Master is in Charge Great things occur and the most important one, is NO more endless waiting on any outside work to be completed.
It's far better to buy a keyboard from him direct instead of going through second and third hand parties, like it had been done in the distant past.

Post by: Elrick on Thu, 20 April 2017, 03:56:07
what LZ board(s) do you own already?
Not in any particular order but I do have his KMAC 2, LZ-GH, LZ MX Mini, LZ CE, LZ EX and his final one, done this year which was the LZ Ironman edition.
I was in some Group Buys of his but mainly got seriously raped by previous owners, wanting their fair share of moolah for his creations. Don't blame them really because I would never sell any of his works no matter the reason.

And here I am with just LZ ErGO TKL and LZ-FE. :( Almost bought an LZ-RV yesterday but not enough money. Might honestly sell my TX-CP to pay for it. :o Also, how was LZ involved with KMAC? Did he have a hand in KMAC Mini?

LZ is one of the founding fathers so to speak of Custom Keyboards within South Korea. All I know is that he helped guide many others into producing various designs for hardcore keyboard fanatics within his own country, which makes us all look like mediocre pedestrians in the world of keyboard addiction.
The Koreans are far more obsessive about their keyboards, especially customized models such as the ones produced in the last few years.
Because LZ has been doing this for a very long time, his designs are now the penultimate when it comes to Premium Designed Keyboards produced on this Planet.

Was worried for nothing, LZ is on Holidays back in South Korea hence he wasn't around to hold my hand.
Suspect when he returns, everything will be updated and sorted. After all, who are we to push someone to be at our beckoned call 24/7 ;D ?
Just happy he's still around and he hasn't forgotten the LZ CLS Classic TKL nor the up coming LZ x ASRH keyboards.

You are also forgetting that he has been designing and making keyboards for many years, probably one of the most experienced builders in Korea.
It also means that he has access to First Class manufacturers within his country, that makes sure they all meet his dedicated standards. I was surprised how quickly he built the Ironman Keyboard from scratch and sent it to my address so quickly.
Trust me, when you hand over your money for a completely built keyboard, he always delivers within record time. Far quicker than most others living elsewhere on this planet.

He has done it for me numerous times, so I suspect it's there but not officially offered.
Just be nice and ask him and of course pay whatever he demands, after all you are asking for something extra that isn't listed.
For me, I am almost never at home plus spending months soldering each and every switch would push me over the edge of sanity, so I need his FULL service without question here at what ever price he sees fit to apply. When you're buying an LZ creation never argue or complain about the price. Always behave like a customer at Seinfeld's Soup Nazi's episode, pay the man, ask what you want then step aside and wait for the delivery.
That way you get a keyboard that most here on Geekhack have dreamed about.

This and it feels mandatory with such a high priced board. My fingertips are always like rocks for the week after. Soldering is satisfying, switch modifications are a pain.
Post by: renzpwns on Sat, 06 May 2017, 03:21:13
Agreed, switch and stab modding consumes at least 80% of build time in every one of my builds. Worth to go the extra mile though since we are talking about some really expensive boards. They all deserve some nice switches to be put on them.

For those who have never received an LZ keyboard before, prepare for the ultimate shock in your lives when it arrives to your front door.
The QUALITY alone is what will bowl you over, the unfortunate thing is that after you get an LZ keyboard everything else just doesn't compare on any level.

Not at all, anyone who owns a Ferrari doesn't sell off his Bentley's, Royce's, Aston Martins, Mercs or BMWs, he simply admires in owning and using that particular model of that Ferrari. His collection is complete until another model in the future becomes available to own.
I have never sold off anything, something my relatives can't wait to own one day after I pass away but it doesn't stop me from enjoying some of the great pleasures in Life, like owning and using an LZ keyboard 8) .

Not at all, anyone who owns a Ferrari doesn't sell off his Bentley's, Royce's, Aston Martins, Mercs or BMWs, he simply admires in owning and using that particular model of that Ferrari. His collection is complete until another model in the future becomes available to own.
I have never sold off anything, something my relatives can't wait to own one day after I pass away but it doesn't stop me from enjoying some of the great pleasures in Life, like owning and using an LZ keyboard 8) .
a man after my own heart!
(I also actually use all my boards semi regularly).

Remove the 'semi' and get into the "REGULARLY" ;) .
That is what these keyboards are about, to use each and everyday without remorse or guilt. After all, you are using something that very people can ever imagine in owning hence it's your duty to enjoy such opulence :thumb: .

The old models had atrocious electrics and problematic transmissions, truly horrible. The NEWer Maserati Corp made deals with Ferrari and German experts for some truly remarkable, 24/7 performance.
Don't go comparing older models here since the newer stuff is many times more optimized and reliable for the current performance freaks out there. If you want a functioning sportscar to drive everyday, then this future model can't be beat for the money. Plus it's way more beautiful to look at, even when it's parked in anyone's driveway.
Always compare the amount you hand over to what you're actually getting, whether it be keyboards or cars 8) .

Yeah it's tough trying to buy into a Group Buy when you start seeing the results of what's coming out. Also you can't blame the other guy for pulling out of your first deal because in the end to get rid of his order maybe quite foolish which he later regretted and changed his mind.
Hope in the end you get in line with other fortunate individuals simply because LZ won't be doing this keyboard again, any time soon 8) .

Yeah, definitely no blame anywhere... not even really sure why I mentioned it in my original post tbh.
Did you buy that spot through LZ? Or did you just pay the guy who has a spot? Interested in giving up my spot but not if it doesn't involve LZ. Got an FC660C and loving the layout... the only thing missing is split backspace... which will happen when LZ-St delivers in the future.

I learned that some people ordered Alps plates for their CLS. This is very late, but is there any way to get one? I typed on a variety of Alps boards, and I like more than MX style.
Me too lol. I just PM'd LZ several days ago about the alphas pcb & wkl alps plate :)
Update: He didn't have any extra alps kits.

I once tried to take over someones spot on a GB.. I was asking for their invoice / what options they had. They replied basically asking me if I had any artisans he could get for the spot (on top of his original invoice of course).

I did not sell this person my spot nor ask for artisans from the person who got my spot. Nor even talk to them :p This statement seemed directed at someone in this GB but left it open so figured I'd clear myself.

I was just like, WTF. It also bugs me when people get some relatively exclusive custom and it's immediately up on MechMarket/Classifieds w/ a huge markup.
(it's totally understandable when a GB takes longer than anticipated and you no longer want/need it -- be one of the good guys and sell it at cost!)
I did not sell this person my spot nor ask for artisans from the person who got my spot. Nor even talk to them :p This statement seemed directed at someone in this GB but left it open so figured I'd clear myself.
Confirmed Mr Beastquakes is at fault! :)

I used to get upset about stuff like this. Really though, that's how much the board is worth to that person. The original cost doesn't matter. If you don't think its worth that much, don't buy it. Wait until someone else sells one that doesn't value the board as much.

I think something got lost in translation as this was my final response from LZ
Quote
okay add pcb& plate
if can change to gray
Still appears as WKL Black in the spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qwodLvpqJIeT1MNwv0E8NPv-mkAborb2anUKt7NQAKY/edit#gid=0).
Can anyone help translate Korean for me?
OR
Does anyone want to trade me WKL their Gray / Silver for my WKL Black?

- n__dles: Yea, I'll take your spot. Actually, I'll pay you $50 to swap case colors (you take my black, i get your gray). Then you could sell the black with your options, so you'd end up with $50 extra.
- the-other: I just want to sell now, not deal with selling later
- n__dles: Ok, that's fine too. How much?
- the-other: actually, I can swap for black, if you want. I found someone who only wants to buy a black case
- n__dles: done
- the-other: Can you still do the swap cases and pay me 50?
- n__dles: Nope. You turned that down. Now you need me to sell your kbd. Give me $50 to swap cases with you. Don't be a jerk :rolleyes:
Gotta love the kbd community.

This is an abridged excerpt from a PM between myself & one of the people who announced in this thread that they're not one of the gougers.

Again, this wasn't me.
Also, you offered that guy $50 first. I don't really think him seeing if it's still the deal is an egregious sin. Unless, he continued to push the issue until the deal fell apart or something.
Maybe we just stop accusing "someone in this GB of 90something people" that sold their spot of being not worthwhile people. Unless you gonna call them out by name, which I don't think is good either.

I'm not Elrick, but I have a feeling that all of these people selling their spots will eventually seriously regret selling their spots.
For me, sold spot is due to getting an FC660C, liking 65%, and being in LZ-St GB already. If I was digging a bigger layout I never would have left. It will undoubtedly be a show stopper for sure.
Post by: avid on Fri, 28 July 2017, 08:13:33
Forced to withdraw from the gb. I have gray wkl. Paid shipping to Europe. I see that recently held a heated debate on the topic of speculation with spots. Will immediately indicate that only want to return what is paid.
Hello,
I would like to buy your spot. Also in Europe. PM:ing.

If you want one this bad, keep an eye out on the classified after the GB. Don't be salty because he sold to someone else. He had no obligations to sell to you. It is his spot.

There's a whole section of law dedicated to this thing. But I guess it's all "salt."

PMs are legally binding, haven't you heard?"A contract does not need to be in writing to be enforceable under the law. If you promise to buy something and someone else promises to sell it to you, you may have just made a contract. Your promise is the same as signing your name to a contract." - http://www.lscd.com/node/393/12-common-legal-mistakes-and-how-avoid-them

Obviously no court on the planet is going to hear a case over keyboards, not even Judge Judy. Well, maybe Judge Judy..
It's the same as if I steal your Chalupa. No cop would arrest me. Regardless both are still illegal and more importantly unethical.
Earlier in the thread there was a discussion about people price gouging. One of the persons who divested themselves of gouging is the same who 'breached our contract'. The only reason I mentioned it was because of the hypocrisy re trade ethics.

Is it going to the top or bottom one in that pic? I like the darker one on the bottom..
The top frame is probably the gray one, bottom is black.

The time frame was pretty average without too many delays, but the trust I had that it would actually finish in a reasonable time and without complications was above average. It felt like a very secure purchase.
I see, I think LZ's good communication made the whole process feel more secure. :)

If you want to keep the LZ brass clean I'd recommend not doing fingerprint checks, hand oils very quickly tarnish!
Lemon juice + baking soda mixed to a toothpaste consistency to clean brass ;)
And for others wanting to protect, a common method is covering the exposed side of brass with an iPad screen protector (or maybe two with those huge weights!)

im used to typing at whatever angle a HHKB is at. this will be an adjustment for sure.
wrist rest doesn't have an effect on typing angle because you're not resting on it during typing

Ah, I see, that makes sense.
I'm also used to HHKB angle as I use it at work, as well as Unicorn X3 (one of the Kustom keyboards that wasn't available in the states), but I am fine with both..
I guess there's one way to find out.

I commonly switch between G80-5000, Topre, Model M etc. OEM boards tend to not exceed 7 degrees. Anything above that, why bother with a kustom kit when I have to spend $500+ I will just wait til another GB comes along with a realistic angle
Gotcha.
Well, I'll see how I like it or dislike it. In the unlikely event that I cannot get used to the angle, I can always sell mine. :)

So USPS trolled me when they said it was delayed till tomorrow - my CLS is in my lap as I type this!
Awesome! How does the gray look to you? I've seen so many pictures it's confusing me!!!
I think it looks outstanding! I'm not getting a blue hint, at least in this light.

A small breakdown of the colors.
BLACK: (20) - 24%
-WK: 6
-WKL: 14
Silver: (14) - 17%
-WK: 1
-WKL: 13
Grey (49) - 59%
-WK: 12
-WKL: 37
Its quite interesting to note that there is more WKL in grey than there is black + silver in both layouts combined.

To the guy asking about dolch, i didnt participate in the kekkon gb, but might try to pick up a set for mine once it ship.
Post by: rustywok on Thu, 24 August 2017, 15:55:22
Was there a price diff in SS and brass weight? The brass is just so nice.
I honestly don't remember but I'm guessing the brass was more? I screwed up the order on my end. Had a flurry of changes, switched from SS to brass and somehow left the SS on the order. I kept meaning to contact LZ about it but never did.

Dark grey is a VERY hard color to do right, especially with this alloy of aluminum (6061), so I suspect that's why it's not quite perfectly grey. This is actually the reason the MIRA uses 6063, so that they can get the lunar grey to look right.
Every alloy of aluminum gives a slightly different color overtone, and every anodizing pool gives a slightly different color. That's why sometimes you'll see Chinese GBs talking about "bad pools." The benefit to 6061, however, is that it gives dark grey overtones to whatever color you anodize it.
Most of this information is available on the AAC's website, http://www.anodizing.org/ (http://www.anodizing.org/).
Fun fact, the AAC also regulates the price of the process, so it should never cost more than $150 (and even that is generous) to have something the size of a keyboard stripped and reanodized in the US. Generally the cost only gets raised if you need over 100 parts anodized, and that depends on the shop.

Brass is weak in fingerprints and sweat, and discoloration occurs.
It can be removed or protected with a clear coating or scratching.

German customs is a clusterfk right now, ever since December EVERYTHING I got from outside the EU (with one exception which was a bubblemailer) landed at the customs office for me. When I asked them what was going on they said that they've never been that busy since 2010. Probably trying all they can to get in more money.My tracking still says "delivered" but it's not here yet :(

At my customs office they told me that every commercial package NEEDS a copy of an invoice or any other type of payment confirmation on the outside, kinda like Massdrop does it. Duck also did this with my Black Bird, but I got that before everything went to sht so I don't know if that even still works. No words about private shipments like these though.
What really put me off is that it wasn't really necessary before and I couldn't find anything about that elsewhere. So, in further investigation I tried to get someone who knows what's going on on the phone but it felt like a waste of time, the people from the import office in Speyer (who apparently does all the stuff from the US) told me that they basically never (unless it's a sender known to fake invoices, I asked them if a few vendors were on there but they weren't) send anything with an invoice inside to be picked up at the customs office, which can't be the truth because I had to pick up more than five correctly declared packages with an invoice inside from the customs office this year. NONE of them were opened prior to me opening them at the customs office.
No one really knows what's even going on, it feels like talking to 6 different people will get you 7 different answers right now.
tl;dr: It sucks being a keyboard enthusiast in Germany right now.

I thought so as well, but I looked up photos from some tx87 builds and the pcb says "TX87KIN L3" whereas the CLS one says "TKL87 L3" ... They may very well be the same, I'll ask Kin. All is well though, LZ is getting me a few extras. Thanks all.

For 456GT, you may have to desolder the USB port, but you can wire it it to another through hole area on it. maybe have to file down the the edge where the USB port sticks out on the pcb.
How does your 456GT compare to the LZ? A lot of people say the design is similar, not a bad thing though.S
I prepared for the USB port already in the most iconoclastic way possible :D
[attachimg=1][attachimg=2][attachimg=3][attachimg=4]And they are super similar, just a more severe angle on the OTD. Cannot wait to have both of these built up, hopefully tomorrow I'll have time for the CLS.

He's talking about the USB port, I think.
I know that the "well" that the PCB sits in is also smaller in an OTD than it is in a TX87 board, but a 456GT is huge, so who knows.

Thanks all for joining the Group Buy for the LZ-CLS.
Before I start, I would like to inform everyone that I do not speak English as well as I do in Korean, and that I have been relying on Google Translator for the most part of translations.
It is my hope that I have been conveying my meaning and thoughts to you appropriately and that I was communicative throughout the different stages of the Group Buy.
To begin, I have run a number of Group Buys in the past but this particular Group Buy has proven to be the most challenging one as of yet.
I was a sole person responsible for running the Group Buy making critical decisions- but unfortunately met with some roadblocks such as drastic personal work load increase, and an issue with my PayPal account to list a few.
As for the PayPal issue, my account was put on hold due to a sudden increase of PayPal balance, and is still on hold as I speak.
Therefore, I had to find an additional monetary resource which delayed the timeline for this Group Buy.
Aside from an issue with PayPal, I also ran into a problem with the color Gray as sample tests I have run with the color all failed to meet my standards. Purchasing a new color for the Gray further delayed the timeline for this Group Buy on top of the PayPal issue.
My sincere apologies to everyone who participated in this Group Buy for any inconvenience the delay may have caused.
To make up for the time lost with unexpected issues during the Group Buy timeline, I wanted to give extra attention to details- I included a cloth with my logo and replaced boxes with a keyboard bag in spite of additional cost involved in bundling them as parts of the LZ-CLS. I really tried best in my ability to provide you with a most complete package for the LZ-CLS, and I hope you will find your LZ-CLS package to be well-thought out and planned. However, lots of options can be confusing- if you have any missing parts on your order, please send me a PM for an assistance.
I lost some of my credibility with an incident unintentionally a while ago, but I am doing my best to regain your trust. I really appreciate all of you who believed in me and helped me with a positive energy.
Going back to the LZ-CLS, it is a TKL layout I have not introduced for a while after LZ-FE
My next project will be CLSm which will support 75% layout, and it will be the 2nd series of CLS.
Following CLSm, my 3rd project with CLS series will be CLSs which will support 60% layout. And yes, you will see a support for HHKB as well.
Before I close, I want to disclose that I am directly involved with every aspect of the Group Buy and have been getting supports from my wife and my brother as well as KIN.
Thank you all for reading.
P.S – Please excuse minor scratches and dents.

This GB has ran very smooth. A little delay maybe, but constant updates - AND the excellent bag make up for this.
Also, we prefer to get excellent product, so better with delay than a rushed product. The grey look stunning!
We will use this keyboard for many years to come. If it was delayed a few weeks, thats nothing!
This is one of the most sought after boards right now - high quality, beautiful case and with LZ name we know it will be of the highest quality.
Now the hype starts for CLSm. Is it sept/okt/nov?
Super happy i was able to get in on this GB.
If you ever do LZ-CLS R2 I would pick up another board.
Well done LZ :thumb:

Dear members of GeekHack,
Thanks all for joining the Group Buy for the LZ-CLS.
Before I start, I would like to inform everyone that I do not speak English as well as I do in Korean, and that I have been relying on Google Translator for the most part of translations.
It is my hope that I have been conveying my meaning and thoughts to you appropriately and that I was communicative throughout the different stages of the Group Buy.
To begin, I have run a number of Group Buys in the past but this particular Group Buy has proven to be the most challenging one as of yet.
I was a sole person responsible for running the Group Buy making critical decisions- but unfortunately met with some roadblocks such as drastic personal work load increase, and an issue with my PayPal account to list a few.
As for the PayPal issue, my account was put on hold due to a sudden increase of PayPal balance, and is still on hold as I speak.
Therefore, I had to find an additional monetary resource which delayed the timeline for this Group Buy.
Aside from an issue with PayPal, I also ran into a problem with the color Gray as sample tests I have run with the color all failed to meet my standards. Purchasing a new color for the Gray further delayed the timeline for this Group Buy on top of the PayPal issue.
My sincere apologies to everyone who participated in this Group Buy for any inconvenience the delay may have caused.
To make up for the time lost with unexpected issues during the Group Buy timeline, I wanted to give extra attention to details- I included a cloth with my logo and replaced boxes with a keyboard bag in spite of additional cost involved in bundling them as parts of the LZ-CLS. I really tried best in my ability to provide you with a most complete package for the LZ-CLS, and I hope you will find your LZ-CLS package to be well-thought out and planned. However, lots of options can be confusing- if you have any missing parts on your order, please send me a PM for an assistance.
I lost some of my credibility with an incident unintentionally a while ago, but I am doing my best to regain your trust. I really appreciate all of you who believed in me and helped me with a positive energy.
Going back to the LZ-CLS, it is a TKL layout I have not introduced since LZ-FE.
My next project will be CLSm which will support 75% layout, and it will be the 2nd series of CLS.
Following CLSm, my 3rd project with CLS series will be CLSs which will support 60% layout. And yes, you will see a support for HHKB as well.
Before I close, I want to disclose that I am directly involved with every aspect of the Group Buy and have been getting supports from my wife and my brother as well as KIN.
Thank you all for reading.
P.S – Please excuse minor scratches and dents.
I will continue to put my efforts to provide you with higher standards.

speaking personally, my experience was excellent
regular updates, good packaging, surprise bag/cloths
the only scratches i saw were on my SS plate, which is fine. case was perfect
thanks LZ :thumb:

I'm assuming this is in reference to the Team Redline incident?
You've always been popular here on geekhack, and your keyboards have always been top notch. Even after that incident, you've continued to provide product of the ABSOLUTE HIGHEST quality. Your legitimacy was never in question, at least in my mind.

Also, RIP my ****ing wallet.
I'm absolutely in for one or both of these, do you have any pictures to get us excited? I miss my LZ-CE and want another LZ board.

This has been my first custom board GB. I'm in maybe 4 or 5 other GBs and this is the only one that even came close to the original timeline. I've been in jobs much like what running a GB must be like. A million details, a dozen different people wanting your ear. And it never really changes. Ever. It's a sort of controlled anarchy, this creative stuff. Thanks LZ! I've been taking photos of a mockup with the LZ-CLS and some keysets of mine before I have to pack everything up for the next month.

I noticed in the photos of those whom have received their LZ-CLS and they look stunning, just like what I expected from the initial hype!
Also, I am a die-hard fan of HHKB layout, or 60%, so to speak, and will definitely participate in CLSs.
I am just glad that the next CLS series in the line is not the CLSs because I would really like to take a little break before dumping money on keyboards I love again. <3
If LZ CLSs GB is to start after November, that would be perfect and I will be ready to grab a few in different colors now that I've seen how amazing all these colors look.
Maybe if we have colors in addition to Silver, Gray, and Black, like Red in LZ-ST, and other one or two exotic colors, that would be even better, too!
Thanks LZ for all of your efforts, and I look forward to buy more of your master pieces in the years to come!
Appreciate the update and I love how you have the road map for your plans- it helps all of us to plan better and what kind of food we will be eating for the next few months :thumb:

I'm happy for those that are satisfied, but Is there no way to fix any of these issues? I feel like the CLS doesn't compare to your previous boards like the Finale, and RE that I have seen in person. As it is right now, I wish I never joined the GB.

That looks like adhesive residue, not an anodizing defect. Might be the picture, but have you tried rubbing it off?

Agreed. Please back up your point with pictures.
EVERY GB is gonna have a few boards with slight defects. ****, even 356CL had some issues (you ever looked at the bottom of one?), DGEs are infamous for the messed up anodizing on the sides.
From what I've seen of everyone's pictures, the boards are all free of major defects you'll see in day-to-day use. A ding or defect on the back or bottom is nothing to get ultra worried about.
I think people have just become more cognizant of this problem because of the mech27 and x60. Anyone remember how LZ used to ship boards? Remember all those SEs (or was it GH?) with the obliterated corners?
Not that you shouldn't get upset with issues, but I think people are overreacting a bit to incredibly minor defects.

I pm'd LifeZ about it, he said to try some WD40 to wipe it off. I let it soak for a few minutes and gave it a pretty firm rub with some blue shop paper towels but it won't come off. I'm scared to try anything more drastic in fear of scratching it..
I might try some Goo Gone and see if I get better results. I'll report back.

Awe yeah, that sucks.
I have like a slight weird anodization spot above where the Pause/Break key goes. It's not a scratch/dent. The color is just lighter, and it's only visible in certain light, and angle.

And then this. Which looks to be around the same spot as yours. Again, only visible in certain light, and angle. I didn't notice it until I pulled the flashlight out.
I don't feel them when I run my nail over them. So I don't think they are scratches.

Do NOT use oven cleaner...it'll strip the colour! If light chemicals do not remove it, I would suggest against using anything abrasive.

But it is not perfect. I am so worried about whether to exclude the gray color in the next GB. stress...HAaaaaaa :-\
I really hope grey is offered in the future. Please don't exclude grey since it's a gorgeous colors. Very happy with mine. Yes, it has small difference, but i would still get the same color again.

LZ actually makes a decent point here.
Dark grey is a VERY hard color to get right consistently. I'd rather he take the eungsam (OTD) approach, and offer silver, black, and one or two other colors (i.e. pink and blue).
Post by: avid on Tue, 29 August 2017, 17:55:03
Post by: Puddsy on Tue, 29 August 2017, 18:17:25
Out of curiosity, why is dark grey harder then other colors?
I'll give the quick explanation. I'm also not an expert, so please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
Basically certain alloys of aluminum take anodization better than other alloys. 6061, the kind (most likely, LZ hasn't said what alloy he used) used in this GB is a "NON-AQ" alloy. Non-AQ is the AAC (Aluminum Anodizers Council, learn more at http://www.anodizing.org/? (http://www.anodizing.org/?)) designation for alloys that aren't good at taking anodization.
More info about which alloys are good for what:
(http://i.imgur.com/AkrKrZ7.png)
The thing that makes dark grey hard specifically, is that to get it right, you basically have to anodize the object black, but not too black. It stresses the aluminum out, and can cause discoloration.
Now, you might be wondering, "Puddsy, why doesn't every GB run in 6063?" Well, funny you should ask that.
Hopefully that makes some semblance of sense.
Post by: avid on Tue, 29 August 2017, 18:33:12
So that explains why we see different shades of colors such as blue-grey, green-grey etc.
When getting small variations in color, id assume that is not because the top- and bottom cases are being ran in separate batches but rather that the aluminum react different to the stress?
Never thought i'd be interested in aluminum anodization.

Never thought i'd be interested in aluminum anodization.
1) I'm actually incorrect, I got a very nice PM about it. It's not because of stresses on the metal, it's because it's a "chaotic electrobonding process," and there's no "canned" grey color like with cerakote. You're basically forcing the aluminum to be dark grey, and inconsistencies just show up more often in that color.
Cerakote would be a better way of getting boards the color we want. There are more color options, it's more durable, it's more consistent, and it's cheaper. They have free samples in the US on their website, if you're interested
2) Neither did I, but here we are.

That's right,
I am always stressed by anodizing

I received a number of PMs regarding several issues.
I just wanted to say that not everyone will have a same set of standards, and there may be areas where I might have missed.
I will determine an extent as to what will be considered normal, and what will be considered not normal, or defective.
I will address issues and provide replacements in some cases as needed, but please understand that the availability of replacement parts is very limited as I only have a handful of Top & Bottom cases.
I can and will try my best to fix defective parts if you would like, but I cannot guarantee the result is going to be perfect.

Hello all,
I received a number of PMs regarding several issues.
I just wanted to say that not everyone will have a same set of standards, and there may be areas where I might have missed.
I will determine an extent as to what will be considered normal, and what will be considered not normal, or defective.
I will address issues and provide replacements in some cases as needed, but please understand that the availability of replacement parts is very limited as I only have a handful of Top & Bottom cases.
I can and will try my best to fix defective parts if you would like, but I cannot guarantee the result is going to be perfect.
For a few cases, I will process a partial refund or a full refund, and I will stay on GeekHack.
Thanks all :thumb:
Thanks LZ.

Okay I am done with my build but I am running into a couple of issues with the programming. JigOn doesn't want to connect to my board and while trying to flash the firmware I keep getting the communication error regardless of which USB port I am using. Can anyone help me out?
Edit: I am also getting the windows error "USB device not recognised" and I have to re-plug it like 10 times to get it recognised.
Edit 2: Seems like the USB device error was a thing with my USB hub only. I also managed to program the board on a laptop with a resolution that was too small for JigOn :p Hope I don't need to make any changes soon.
Always connect directly to your PC and use a USB 2 port if available.

When getting small variations in color, id assume that is not because the top- and bottom cases are being ran in separate batches but rather that the aluminum react different to the stress?
Never thought i'd be interested in aluminum anodization.
1) I'm actually incorrect, I got a very nice PM about it. It's not because of stresses on the metal, it's because it's a "chaotic electrobonding process," and there's no "canned" grey color like with cerakote. You're basically forcing the aluminum to be dark grey, and inconsistencies just show up more often in that color.
Cerakote would be a better way of getting boards the color we want. There are more color options, it's more durable, it's more consistent, and it's cheaper. They have free samples in the US on their website, if you're interested
2) Neither did I, but here we are.
I tried cerakote with an eye of offering it as an option for the Mira. The shop tried 5 times and could not get a consistent color. If the board has been anodized more than once it can be an issue. Sandblasting will cause streaks when cerakote is applied. Not as simple as it sounds.

All types of cerakote are not created equal, the one that should be used is this stuff (https://www.cerakoteguncoatings.com/finishes/?tab=coatings&cat=HSERIES), according to the shop up by my college.
In fairness, I don't have a ton of experience with cerakote.

Excitement turned into tears.. anyone else have marks like this on their case??Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/KzoIOUT.jpg)
Awe yeah, that sucks.
I have like a slight weird anodization spot above where the Pause/Break key goes. It's not a scratch/dent. The color is just lighter, and it's only visible in certain light, and angle.Show Image(http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd490/CurtisandCrystal/Curts%20Pcs/Curts%20Keyboards/20170824_215456_Circle.jpg)
And then this. Which looks to be around the same spot as yours. Again, only visible in certain light, and angle. I didn't notice it until I pulled the flashlight out.
I don't feel them when I run my nail over them. So I don't think they are scratches.Show Image(http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd490/CurtisandCrystal/Curts%20Pcs/Curts%20Keyboards/20170829_095757.jpg)

I agree. I let some Goo Gone sit on it for 30 minutes and wiped it with a paper towel and no change. I also tried warm water and some light dish soap. It's definitely not residue.
Has to be something during the anodizing/manufacturing process because we have it in the same spot.

Rubber pads go under the case and the other things are just diodes and resistors in case one goes bad or you knock one off the PCB by accident.
I think these extra resistors/diodes are a nice touch, I got some with my TX87 and they've saved my ass twice already (though for different boards).

What if the only way for people to hear "You Can't Always Get What You Want" was for Mick Jagger to perform it at a concert they attend? Very few people in the current community have used an SE, and I'm sure LZ's capabilities as a designer and his manufacturers have all improved since then. It's an interesting thing to think about. I don't think it diminishes his work as an artist to release a "2018 Remaster" of his hit song that many of his current fans have been unable to listen to?

I think I have a serious problem with my LZCL. I've been using it for a like a couple of weeks and then one day it stop working. I notice this has something to do with the connector, because I try moving the cable around the connector area around and sometimes the keyboard will be back to working. Turns out if I add a little force from the bottom of the cable where it connect to the keyboard it will work (image below). This to me seems like the connector doesn't have a solid connection to the PCB or maybe it's something else. I don't know, I thought you guys who have more experience on building custom keyboards could shed me some light.Can you take pics of your connector with just the pcb showing? We need to see the solder joints of the connector.

with big heavy alu keyboards, bending the cable can be pretty damaging. depending on the cable quality, either the cable or the pcb connector can pop out
we'd probably need pics of the pcb

1. The backspace seems to have a crazy high repeat rate. I hit it a couple times and almost every time I deletes way more than I want it to. I have seen this on boards before but it usually affects the whole board and not just 1 key.
2. The left control and caps lock seem to be reversed and nothing I do in Jigon seems to resolve it. Plus Jigon sees the keys as being mapped correctly (caps being the in the right place, lctrl in lctrl location)
3. I cannot turn off the RGB underlighting. I have tried every mode under the RGB lighting section and it never turns off. I can turn off the per key lighting though.
4. Is there any way to increase and decrease the LEDs? In Jigon I only see options for the different modes but no way to adjust the lighting (both per-key and RGB backlighting)
This is a fantastic board and everything works perfect except the issues above and if I can resolve the above issues this will be my daily driver. At the worst I can always swap the PCB's but I would rather not desolder the whole board to do that. Let me know if anyone has any suggestions, thanks all.

The gray color does have a blue hue to it, but I don't detect a color difference between my top and bottom. I've noticed three anodizing defects - none of them are serious flaws though.
Alu plate and Alps plate unbuilt but planning to use Ergo Clears and SKCM Blues.

Make sure your switch isn't chattering. Swap in another switch and see what happens.

2. The left control and caps lock seem to be reversed and nothing I do in Jigon seems to resolve it. Plus Jigon sees the keys as being mapped correctly (caps being the in the right place, lctrl in lctrl location)
Jigon is kinda dumb about this. Have you tried putting the caps lock in the ctrl location, and vice versa? If it's anything like some GH60 PCBs, they're backwards on the PCB.

3. I cannot turn off the RGB underlighting. I have tried every mode under the RGB lighting section and it never turns off. I can turn off the per key lighting though.
Set all the LEDs to black, or, on the newest version of Jigon, one of the modes turns them all off.

4. Is there any way to increase and decrease the LEDs? In Jigon I only see options for the different modes but no way to adjust the lighting (both per-key and RGB backlighting)
The brightness? Only for the RGB LEDs. In-switch is dependant on the presoldered resistors.

2. The left control and caps lock seem to be reversed and nothing I do in Jigon seems to resolve it. Plus Jigon sees the keys as being mapped correctly (caps being the in the right place, lctrl in lctrl location)
3. I cannot turn off the RGB underlighting. I have tried every mode under the RGB lighting section and it never turns off. I can turn off the per key lighting though.
4. Is there any way to increase and decrease the LEDs? In Jigon I only see options for the different modes but no way to adjust the lighting (both per-key and RGB backlighting)
This is a fantastic board and everything works perfect except the issues above and if I can resolve the above issues this will be my daily driver. At the worst I can always swap the PCB's but I would rather not desolder the whole board to do that. Let me know if anyone has any suggestions, thanks all.
1. My best guess is that it's either a faulty switch, have you tried swapping it out? Or you may have let the solder bleed into the sockets for the split backspace positions and one of those positions is also bound to backspace, which means you are triggering multiple inputs with each keypress, when held down, doubling the repeat rate compared to a normal key. Photos would help troubleshoot this one.
2. When you have the board connected you should be able to press each key on the keyboard and see the corresponding position highlight in Jigon. That should help you identify the locations of each key. Alternatively you should check out your other layers in Jigon, you may be stuck on the wrong one, I would suggest changing every layer to be the exact same to see if that resolves your problem.
3. You will not be able to turn off the RGB LEDs without using a couple small jumper cable or an additional two RGB diodes to bridge the two positions that are not filled by default, right above the arrow cluster and below the extra-nav cluster. I'm not 100% sure of the specifics but troll around in other L3 Leeku pcb threads for more info, I recall reading it somewhere. Alternatively you can do what I do with L3 PCBs and just tape all the RGB LEDs, I use small squares of black electrical tape.
4. Not sure on this one, I believe in the per-key LED modes there are a few different modes (static) with different brightness settings. For the RGB LEDs there are brightness setting in Jigon, no clue if they work or not as I never use them.
Feel free to PM me if you have any further questions.

Black for all RGB's again never thought to try that, that's a easy fix. I figured so on the in switch brightness but figured I would ask. Thanks for your help both of you I'll report back once I get home and can work on my board.

hope you didn't pay a lot for those switches. There are better options
They were 104 for $175 from another user here on GH from England. They are probably the newest skcm browns i've seen. Why, what else you got in mind?
I am also building a setup with 65g silent black cherry in case i want to change it up. Im just waiting on my missing pcb and plate from LZ.

What tactile switches are better options in your opinion? Skcm Browns are pretty much the best I know.

Personally I think panda clears are the best tactiles. Not really a fan of tactile ALPS at all.
It's all subjective, really.

55g topre is the best tactile imo. Nothing "pops" quite like it.

I havent tried the "panda clear" - i'm guessing cherry clear stem in an invyr shell? I have pandas at work. They're ok. I swapped out my clears for MOD-M's and I definitely like them better. I have a 55g topre realforce 104 and a 55g topre hhkb... both are nice as well.
Not quite
Panda clears are MX clears with MX black springs. Bsun panda clears are the same, but in the Bsun/invyr housing.

I don't think it has anything to do with the USB connector's soldered joint. Those seems solid, at least to me. But I suspect it has something to do with the connector itself. Maybe the contact where it touch with a cable come loose. This is my speculation. But what do you guys think? Is the connector broken and if I replace it with a new one will the problem be solved?

Thanks for the reply. I have to inspect that again and I swear there's no bent pin. If you look closely all 5 pins area exactly the same height. But there're 4 slits behind the 2 pins from each side letting some light through creating an illusion that those pins looks higher than the one in the middle which made the middle one looks broken.
BTW I DM LZ and he told me that looks like a damaged connector and I probably have to find a new one. I actually planned to get a new connector and solder it myself with my little experience in soldering. I read somewhere that I need to use flux so that those 5 little solder joints, where the connector connect with the PCB, won't join each others. Is that the right way to do it?

Yes that's correct, you'll also probably want to get some solder wick and solder sucker as well to remove the connector. There should be 2 legs that go through the PCB. You will need to desolder those from the back side. If you remove all the solder the connector should come right off. Use the flux when soldering the new connector. You can gently slide the iron over the pins and the flux should pull the solder to them.

When getting small variations in color, id assume that is not because the top- and bottom cases are being ran in separate batches but rather that the aluminum react different to the stress?
Never thought i'd be interested in aluminum anodization.
1) I'm actually incorrect, I got a very nice PM about it. It's not because of stresses on the metal, it's because it's a "chaotic electrobonding process," and there's no "canned" grey color like with cerakote. You're basically forcing the aluminum to be dark grey, and inconsistencies just show up more often in that color.
Cerakote would be a better way of getting boards the color we want. There are more color options, it's more durable, it's more consistent, and it's cheaper. They have free samples in the US on their website, if you're interested
2) Neither did I, but here we are.
I tried cerakote with an eye of offering it as an option for the Mira. The shop tried 5 times and could not get a consistent color. If the board has been anodized more than once it can be an issue. Sandblasting will cause streaks when cerakote is applied. Not as simple as it sounds.
All types of cerakote are not created equal, the one that should be used is this stuff (https://www.cerakoteguncoatings.com/finishes/?tab=coatings&cat=HSERIES), according to the shop up by my college.
In fairness, I don't have a ton of experience with cerakote.
After talking to the Cerakote place by my house. The guy said what they do when Cerakoting anodized aluminum is beadblast it just a little bit to slightly ruff up the surface (not try to get all of the Ano off) so the Cerakote can adhere to the anodization.
He said this is how they do it without leaving streaks.
I'll be taking one of my other cheap cases to him soon and see how it actually turns out.

I opened the board, leaving only the internals, knock it from "cls" logo and i hear pinging noise traveling from knock point to opposite area (caps lock).
I will try filling the case with dampening material first and report later.
If the ping persists, i think i'll make PC plate. :)

If it was me, I would try to just reflow the joints first. If its disconnecting like that it could just be a cold joint or crack you cant see. I dont see any issues with the photos you have though - the active pins on your female side look ok? I know you've tried another cable, so i'll just guess that its got an internal crack or a cold solder or something we cant see. Good luck!
Damn it started to getting disconnection again. I'll see what I can do about it.
Edit: So after having the USB plugged in for a while it will stop working, not sure what's the deal with it. But after every time I solder the connector again it worked just fine.

It's not nice but it works. I don't have this board so I can't check and tell you exactly where to do it, but I did it in the past on other PCB's .

Have you tried reflashing the firmware?
Yep I just flashed a new firmware this evening, same firmware I flashed before though. However, it will work fine for a while, but after a couple of minutes the underlight will stop and Windows will notify that the device is not recognized. So I leave that for another big while and then test again. And it failed again after a couple of minutes. I must admit I have absolutely no idea what causes this issue. But I hope a new USB connector will fix it. My order haven't been shipped though. This might take some time.

Just in case you are still on the edge about pin 4, it's not necessary at all.
While we are at the topic of it stopping to recognize the device... have you tried it on a different machine? One way or another, please report back after you changed the connector.

Try spring swapping/lubing if you're getting ping.
Thought about that but aren't the Box switches a PITA to open?

but not bad with it either

So guys. Sad news. I just replaced the USB connector and my keyboard behaved exactly the same as it did before changing the connector. :((

Any more polycarbonate plates for sale?

Not existed yet, afaik. Also need it though.

My switches were spring swapped and lubed. there is a spare switch that also tuned, i hear no pinging from it.
Here i attached a sound test. (Please adjust volume to high in order to notice it)

So i think Polycarbonate Half-plate for CLS sounds kinda cool :)

Did you lube the ends of the springs? In my experience that's the only thing that does anything to reduce ping, and it has always eliminated it entirely for me.
I'm skeptical that a different plate would reduce ping, but you're welcome to try. Polycarb is the best plate material anyway :thumb:

What switches do you guys use polycarb with?
i recommend vintage blacks

I am a huge fan of the ergo-clears on the plastic plate that I built my Orion V2 with, but at the end of the day it's all personal preference. Build it how you want it.

at first i was think it maybe my switch was broken, so i try to change it with another one, but it still wont work,
so i try to change diode too but it still wont work too.
can you help me with it? i got so many problem with my LZ-CLS to be honest :(

shoulda got the ones packaged in plastic. those glass ones look scary like they will break
it's what's included with the PCBs
i got the same ones from kin when i got my 3000 pcb

DSA on alps is something I'd like to try.
you like that?
Hmmm i still dont know yet how it feels its my first time build alps xD
But its quite good i still try adapt to it.

How to into the USB mode，I cant conect keyboard
Ok, here is another step by step manual:
- Download L3_170419.zip (http://kbdlab.co.kr/?module=file&act=procFileDownload&file_srl=4320094&sid=ebbdca3c12b3174f582b4c8dc470ecce)
- Download JigOn_170419.zip (http://kbdlab.co.kr/?module=file&act=procFileDownload&file_srl=4320093&sid=a2dfd681007fec4c849850a5530a4df9)
- Unzip both files go
- Open loadfw.bat in L3_170419
- It will then flash the Leeku L3 keyboard with that version of the firmware.
- If you get a “communications error” when flashing, try a different USB cable and/or port. For me, it turned out using a different port worked, even though the keyboard could *type stuff* using the first port, it couldn’t flash the board.
- Open JigOn.exe in JigOn_170419 Folder
- Download and follow the guide Leeku L3 Software.pdf from https://www.dropbox.com/sh/v24vygvyl4mvqrm/AABUNcm0BDioYE5QbArje0Kba?dl=1
Hope this helps.

Thanks! Yes it was local, ran $110 in cash (was less if I wanted one color). With cerakote you necessarily don't have to strip the original anodizating and an even result is easier to achieve than anodizing.

Great build log DreLLin - thanks for posting! What is the reason for this step - "Clipping the legs of the switches for the Alphas. Keeping the legs on Mods and ISO keys with larger plate cutouts"
Also wondering why you used GPL105, GPL106 and the VW lube (GPL105)? Why the spray lube in addition to the drops?
Post by: DreLLin on Wed, 15 November 2017, 16:44:08
Since the alphas have great support from the plate and alignment is no concern you can clip the legs of the switches without sacrificing anything.
On the mods and ISO keys you have larger plate cutouts and it's harder to align the switches correctly. That's why I dont't clip the legs on these keys and am not so concerned if they aren't 1000% flush with the pcb.
I used the bag before I had the spray for other switches so there was some GPL 105 left in it. From now on I'll only use 106 and the spray since it makes it a bit easier to spread out the lube in the bag and a bit less shaking is required.
Post by: airs on Wed, 15 November 2017, 16:48:22
The legs of the Zeal switches are a little bigger than the cherry ones. It's really hard to push them indto the pcb and almost impossible to have them seated flush with the plate and pcb without clipping the legs.

Hmmmmmmm, I tried to desolder the USB connector and one of the metal pad that, to me, should stays on the PCB came right off is that normal :eek: :eek: :eek:.
I'm freaking out right now, not sure if I just broke the PCB or not.
Can USB connector wired to this pad?
Currently i have GON Nerd PCB, but the connector was beneath of the PCB (instead of on top), it must be on top in order to compatible with CLS. Actually there's a pad on top, but the extras part of PCB was cut from vendor (along with the top pad). I just knew this when it arrived. Help.... :'(
