I hope you are wrong, really,
I paid 120$ for handling and shipping

tadbitnerdy · « **Reply #51 on:** Mon, 17 June 2013, 06:47:08 »

I hope I'm wrong, too. I have yet to receive mine. It is having some soldering done.

Photekq · « **Reply #52 on:** Mon, 17 June 2013, 06:48:46 »

That really sucks batmann.. I hope something can be worked out.

Batmann · « **Reply #53 on:** Mon, 17 June 2013, 06:51:16 »

thanks for your concern guys,
If at least the dent was on the bottom of the case, I could get over it I suppose,
but on the top left corner, it's really in my face.
Anyway Boost is on it, I hope something can be worked out

Thinking about re-anodizing a darker red since it looks like skeldon isn't going to hit moq

I am going to also reanodize to a more red red.

Considering I bought this to go with the set you see on it, you can understand why I'm doing the darker color, too. Or at least more accurate red.

This thing is stupid heavy, too

I'm curious what MKC's Claret Red color would look like against the Klaxon red.

emptythecache · « **Reply #63 on:** Fri, 21 June 2013, 16:52:33 »

I like the color of red, but I'm not planning to put red caps on mine. Either GMK Dolch, or DSA Dolch is where I'm going with it.

YoungMichael88 · « **Reply #64 on:** Sat, 22 June 2013, 02:05:04 »

Kinda bummed that the red is more pink/red than RED. I wish I would have went with gunmetal now....

Maybe I will change the color too. I hate the idea of having to put even more cash into this thing but I just can't have a pink keyboard.(nothing against those who like pink, I just don't)

emptythecache · « **Reply #65 on:** Sat, 22 June 2013, 05:30:12 »

i dont think its pink so much as metallic red.

Where would one go to get it re-anodized?

demik · « **Reply #68 on:** Sat, 22 June 2013, 22:22:18 »

better question is, where can u get it anodized for cheap.

i see lots of areas in los angeles, but i doubt they'd take the time to dip your board for anything under 100

calavera · « **Reply #69 on:** Sat, 22 June 2013, 22:25:24 »

May be we can do a mini run on one color so it's cost effective. But that involves shipping heavy alu cases all over the place. lol

Fortunately, it's just the top that needs redone, so it's not horribly heavy. I'm going to start pricing monday.

calavera · « **Reply #71 on:** Sat, 22 June 2013, 22:35:20 »

I would just redo the entire case regardless to have a perfect match.

Yea and being in Canada I would have to send it through customs another two times. I gotta keep mine in Ontario to keep the cost down. Halverson might get his re-colored too so that should reduce the overall price a bit. I think he has a few other things he wants to get done too. But he might keep it the way it is. Who knows

There's only one part that's colored and that's the top part unless you also mean the plate. The bottom is mirror polished.

my bad, totally forgot the LZ GH has a badass steel? bottom.
Is the plate aluminium? Matching plate would be cool.

To be fair, it's almost exactly like the example pic in the OP (I think that's where I saw it).

starting to solder switches.. so hawt. Yes im aware there is no stabs didnt actually solder anything yet.

I used a SMD rework station and not a solder iron.

elton5354 · « **Reply #84 on:** Sun, 23 June 2013, 15:28:59 »

Noob question: For the bottom resistors that are bunched up together, how do you know which ones are for which switch? I want multiple LEDs on the board. TIA

Batmann · « **Reply #85 on:** Sun, 23 June 2013, 15:30:12 »

Mine came with resistors already soldered, was that an option? I can't remember

How do you know which way to solder the resistors? I did only one key to test mine out and could not get it to work, and after a cursory glance at the TRiK software was not able to figure it out.

It would be great if someone could sort of write up a short guide on this build answering this and Elton's resistor question. With photos if possible.

Batmann · « **Reply #90 on:** Mon, 24 June 2013, 03:35:42 »

excuse the noob question but,
big resistors are acting as diodes and small ones TurkishRambo showed are for leds?

The smaller resistors are for the LEDs. 0508

EDIT: perspective

Batmann · « **Reply #92 on:** Mon, 24 June 2013, 04:20:36 »

is 0508 the correct reference, I can't find a place to buy some.

eBay. I believe 0508 is in reference to its physical size. It is not its impedance (Ohms)

EDIT: 0508 is also 1220 (metric)

The retistors for the leds do not have polarity. They can be installed in either direction. This is opposed to normal diodes for switched which have polarity and must be installed in the proper direction. A diode is a valve, allowing the current to only flow in one direction. A resistor flows in both directions but limits, constrains, the amount of flow.
