So are the blockers integrated into the case or nah? In the first few pics with the two hhkb style boards, it looks like one of them has integrated blockers and one of them doesn't. IMO the one with the integrated (seamless) blockers looks much better.

This is 2 different keyboards. One as you said has integrated blockers and the other has removable ones.

can we see what the non-hhkb style case looks? whats the angle?

edit: nvm i see the WKL blockers picture. Looks amazing. Any idea of price?

May we also see how the USB port cutout looks like?
Any fancier colors this time (such as purple and blue)?

softer than metal and more forgiving, but still sturdy.  very nice for tactile switches.  with a nice board like this, I would suggest getting two plates and two PCBs so you can try to PC and also something else in case you don't like it.  Then you could always sell the combo you don't like.. someone will most likely but it.

Red is nice, i'd definitely consider it, but we need someone to make a nice navy blue 60% already :P. Nautilus with some navy and some brass would look CLEAN.

Hey guys,

RED color difference between the top case and bottom case is greater than the grey.
The prices are 15% higher.
Rather, I am planning on black and silver.

It is difficult to make small quantities in various colors in Korea. lol
Anodized always makes me tired.  :(

Yeah but I thought things arrived pretty quickly.  I believe the delay on LZ-CLS was due to issues with color grey not coming out like LZ wanted.
I hope LZ-CLS s x h will come sooner! But I don't mind the delay if we're talking about higher quality on our finished products.

It comes separately. It can be transformed into three key blocks. It is possible to assemble the key block to the basic normal 60% case.

Google translation for ease.

I guess they're a decent thing for people undecided on layout, but not a fan myself.

LZ, sorry this is probably not a good place to ask a question but it's a place I know you're going to check. What are the chances of revisiting the mythical LZ CP  after this GB finishes next year? It's a keyboard that must be worshiped. I'm concerned the most of us will only collect pictures of it from the internet.

This is king. Likely better than all other options.

Obviously it hasn't shipped yet, but given the response to other LZ boards, I suspect this will be the best option for a while.

Right. I was just saying that I'd like too see another LZ-GH GB run again.

Normally I love all his new designs BUT I unfortunately still love the LZ-GH which I gave away to someone, hence looking forward to another re-model of this famous keyboard.

Also like the standard TKL layout as opposed to all the funky small layout's fine for kids but when you're old, the tiny layout's are a burden to use.  We need space, hence I love his normal sized keyboard's.

Also if you could supply some more anodized colour's besides Black and Silver (I know you hate dealing with that), but I am willing to pay the difference for either a Blue, Green or Purple colour here.

Please let us know about that.

i'll buy these right now if you'll let me

I'll buy them too. Are they available for sale? Can we get some with our LZ CLSm GB?

It is just rendering.
Contact gmk.

If I get one, 100% chance I will TRY to use a Zeal60. The new ones with the black edge and gold ports look sooooooo nice. Plus RGB and QMK. I think with the gold port it's gonna look the best. But I also get that not everyone wants $120 pcbs :P.

I really like the simplicity and build quality of the GON Nerd60

I won't lie, I was tempted to pick up a gon PCB, but I can't do my layout without QMK, and $70 is a lot if I'm just gonna nuke the boot loader. Plus if I wanted LEDs I'd have to figure out how to smd. They do look nice. I just use a few multiuse keys that I can't really reproduce in other firmware.

You could try a b.face.  I haven't personally tried one yet, but I really like my B.87 by winkeyless and I assume it would be the same quality.  It uses bootmapper client, and it's pretty darn easy to set up multi-function keys.

You can do just about anything with bootmapper client

I vote for NerD 60 for better quality. I know QMK do have particular function the other not, I would pick a ordinary GH60 rev.c if one day I find that I need QMK much.

I vote NerD60 also.  Great quality, and extremely easy to program.

I should be more clear. I have multifunction COMBO keys.

I setup 2 FN keys, either 1 can access a layer, but if I use both, I get a totally different layer. There are ways to KINDA do this just be having FN keys to other layers in your fn layers, but it never works quite right.

For me I setup 3 layers, the base layer, 1 layer that is accessible using EITHER fn key, and a 3rd layer than is accessed using both. There is no way I'm aware of to do this with any other firmware. So if a board can't use QMK I probably won't use it.

Just curious, why set up like this?

BTW, I used to use multirole key (single and combo doing different actions).  Had to give up as it limited keyboard choices.
On keyboards with certain layouts, I have FN key set up to cycle through layers.  Just FYI.

I am trying to exclude PCB from CLS s x h.
Because there are various PCBs, we want individual to choose according to preference.

Idk if this is the right place to talk about this, but I saw some intriguing renders by LZ on kbdlab. Are we possibly getting a new design or is it simply a render? I’m hoping it’s the former  :thumb:

I hope the GB would remain open for a while! Have too much money to spend here and there as of late :(
Edit: @LZ, when do you think we will have this GB open and how long do you intend to leave it open?

I would like the GB end date to be a bit after mid February but I can only hope...

There isn't a defined limit anywhere, and there hasn't been with his previous CLS projects
