Nice!! New LZ
waiting for the back picture!

Definitely in. Estimated price?

Non anodized?

Is the pcb the same as the SQ75%? Will the usb be centered, left, or right?
Poly carb plate and raw finish!
-
Definitely interested!
-
Can't have too much 75% in my life.
And agreed- interested in the non-anodized... could be industrially-sexy!

Count me in

Probably in for this, have been on the look out for a nice 75% for a while.

Hey! Friend.
You have to add my spot! ;D

Looks good!
My only complaint is the bottom left plate holes, why is there a big gap? Shouldn't it only be for Winkey/Winkeyless on the bottom left side? :(
Any chance for optional red anodized plates like the LZ ST?

self anodize!
Interesting, how smooth will that be?
What does "Natural" mean for the brass weight and STS switch plate finish?

Hello LZ,
Such a gorgeous board. Very interested in this.
Now the hard question: silver vs black
I'm curious about two things
1. polycarbonate plate. How do you guys like it? I currently have no opinion of it.
2. Raw case. Looks gorgeous (esp silver) but are people looking to use it raw? What are the cons of using raw alu?
Is there any ETA on when GB will start?
-
I'm in!! :D

No split spacebar I assume?

Yes please :thumb:

no one will probably use it raw, they'll have it anodized themselves.

Or Cerakoted, or Powdercoated or maybe even painted.

There seems to be a diffusor layer in the render. Is that optional?
I really hope we can assemble these new CLS boards without.
//e oh, nevermind, the new pictures don't have it :)

Same here but as usual, LZ will have to build this baby for me ;) .
That is why I keep buying keyboards off him :thumb: .

When LZ offers a keyboard, you buy! :thumb:
This is not something you want to miss out on.

damn!! another compact keyboard..got enough of those. need something fullsize so that i can justify the pricing also.
-
I'm in. I was considering a PC plate for my kbd75! You won't want to use this raw, as raw aluminum will tarnish/oxidize. You'd want to get it anodized or powder coated a custom color.

Hello
I think...
1. It is considered suitable for low pressure or brown switches.
2. For self anodized(other colour), Some users request
GB will start a next month.

Yeah!

This looks really clean and nice :) It makes me want to jump to the 75% team somewhat :-\

On the same boat. Curious about the pricing and manufacturing info as well.
-

Yeah comparing KBD75 to a LZ board is parallel to D2 college football to NFL.
LZ said on page 1 the GB will start next month and price will probably be $400+ easy (from speculating the previous 3 LZ GB).

How long did the previous gbs take from order to delivery?

Can't have too much 75% in my life.
And agreed- interested in the non-anodized... could be industrially-sexy!
But wouldn't non-anodized alunimum smell and also turn to some weird color after a while?
I would imagine that LZ's option of letting people have non-anodized parts is so that people can do whatever with the parts (they can anodize in their fav color, etc?).
I don't know, just speculating :D

1. Really a personal taste I've heard- but from what I've read, PC plate in general would give you more bouncy feeling/sound like if you were to have an acrylic bottom with aluminum top vs. aluminum top and bottom.
My Unicorn x3 has an acrylic bottom with aluminum top, and it feels different than my LZ-CLS which has aluminum top and bottom.
I found myself enjoying acrylic bottom just a tad more, but that may also be due to it having 65g spring vs. LZ-CLS with 60g.
2. I believe people opting out to get the raw option will be to paint/anodize the parts themselves in their preferences.
Since the GB will include the parts as a kit that can be turned into a final product with switches, etc, offering people a full kit with an option to have them do what they wanna do with the parts would be a nice gesture from LZ. But I hear the raw aluminum reeks of that weird smell and the color/finish turns weird after a little while. So you better not keep the aluminum raw!

You're right- the idea here is DIY anodization/ cerakote/ whatever... I was way off on the "industrial look" thought... :confused:

The period varies depending on the quantity.
I plan for up to 5 months.
LZ CLS took longer than expected. ;D

yes, same anodize shop.
Stick with the company that produces the very BEST work when it comes to anodizing. Here where I live, there is NO anodizing performed because it's now used strictly in highly developed nations (1st World Status).
WE who are stuck in the 3rd World are willing to pay for the best quality and you LZ, have proven that time and time again. Looking forward to your next Keyboard build 8) .

CLS was a bit difficult because of its large quantity.
I am going to reduce the quantity a little this time.
Up to 60 to 70KIT?

TX-75 style lock leds then. Not bad at all.
Also, now that PC plate is in the table, I am for sure in. :thumb:

Silver or Black? I'm leaning towards black since it goes better with darker keysets.

can anyone explain the benefits using a polycarb plate rather than aluminum and steel?

Softer bottom out, completely clear so you can see pcb, less metallic sound, can be quieter, something different.

Allows for more flex when typing, creates a cushioned or softened bottom out. I personally am not a fan of it for linears and prefer aluminum or steel for those.

Anodizing is hard to get done in small batches like this. You're better off buying the non-andoized version and having it finished locally. I'll probably get mine cerakoted instead of anodized.

I think I've found my first Kustom :)
Looking forward to some pictures of the bottom on that sample

Good point. I'll look up the original CLS thread :thumb:

LZ what is the angle on CLSs? I love how the boards are simple and classy but 9 degree angle ruins it. Hoping for something 6-7, but knowing its an LZ board probably won't be the case.

I'd have loved to see the top row being different. That's the only thing I somewhat dislike about 75% keyboards.
Other than that, I like the design!

How would the diffuser look like? Is it partial or is it surrounding the whole keyboard?
How would you guys compare the polycarbonate plate vs alu plate? feel and sturdy wise?
