Hmm, not sure if I'm doing something wrong here. Based on Google translation of the page I have flashed the keyboard with loadfw.bat, but I can only get JigOn to connect with the keyboard some of the times. The rest of the time the program crashes with the message "KeyboardDef has stopped working". It read like I'm suppose to connect the keyboard with Esc pressed, but that doesn't seem to help. Am I missing something really obvious?

Without JigOn I can sometimes connect the keyboard and have it working, the rest of the times the RGB LEDs flashes rainbow colours, but the keyboard is otherwise non-functional.

I got exactly the same problem, I connected the keyboard to my pc, only got the RGB LEDs flashes, and the PC doesn't recognize the keyboard, nothing is functional, I got this notice everytime I plug kb in:

Okay I'm not sure if this applies to your case, but I've got mine working by first disconnecting the keyboard, start JigOn, and then connect the keyboard. Doing it in this sequence seems to allow me to programme the keyboard. It seems that if I start JigOn with the board connected to the computer, the board will enter some where state where the custom settings are either lost or the board is non-functional. Have only tried a couple of times, but that seems to be the case. Hope this helps.

Well it doesn't work for me, but thanks!
This happened once with my duck orion,and had to replace the USB port tho, seems like I have to send out this one for repairing. :(

Stands for "compact" apparently.

Just found this GB and was curious if there's anywhere I can still get my hands on one of these or if there's an email I can reach out to LZ to see if he has any extras I tried translating his site to find a contact us/email but wasn't able to find anything.

any thoughts on layout?

was thinking of doing thing like this. but i have been having a pain of a time finding the right rows in the numpad i want.

malcomkern · « **Reply #114 on:** Wed, 30 September 2015, 14:15:58 »

I would like to ask for some help with the LZ-CP, I soldered the diodes, the resistors and the RGB Leds, if I connect the board to my computer only the RGB Led 1 turns red and after sometime starts flashing red slowly. Most of the other leds flash briefly as I plug in the USB cable. How do I check to see if all the RGB Leds function properly? I installed the JigOn software but I am not familiar with it and it seems as nothing changes if I use >Keyboard >Update >All from the menu.

Offcourse.

radish · « **Reply #117 on:** Thu, 01 October 2015, 22:57:33 »

In the pic you posted I would do a once over and reflow with rosin. Some joints don't look tight but it's hard to tell from the pic. I found that those leds are really easy to burn. So be careful of making your iron too hot.

Please do as what radish suggested, I had the same problem too.
Reflowing the solder would fix the problem.

malcomkern · « **Reply #119 on:** Fri, 02 October 2015, 14:09:15 »

Oke, thanks for the suggestion. I will do in the weekend.
I will solder the black Cherry lubed switches as well, see how that goes.

Thanks for the help so far.

just make sure to fix the LEDs 1st. if you solder more components you might run into problems trying to identifying and isolating why existing components arnt functioning.

malcomkern · « **Reply #121 on:** Mon, 05 October 2015, 12:35:08 »

Still no change in the led behavior. I did check all my soldering and it looks fine. What are the leds supposed to do when I plug the board into the USB of my computer? How can I further check the leds?

Never mind, just sloppy soldering on my part

Vomiting rainbow, now

malcomkern · « **Reply #122 on:** Thu, 08 October 2015, 01:42:51 »

Just to let you all know

The board is finished and working

Thanks for the help, all.
Now the next round of fun begins, selecting a nice set of key caps.

malcomkern · « **Reply #123 on:** Sun, 11 October 2015, 09:05:00 »

And some more questions.
1. How do I get the leds in the special row under de USB working for Numlock, Capslock and Scrollock? Only numlock is working at the moment.
2. My KETC1 KEY seems not to register, if I use my multimeter I can see / hear it makes contact all right.
3. I have 3 switch leds not burning, these are, the V and the / and and the PrtScrn key, electrically they seem oke, I switched out leds and resistors but that didn't help.

Any help is appreciated.

malcomkern · « **Reply #124 on:** Thu, 22 October 2015, 08:17:23 »

Is there some one you can help me with the above questions?

FrostyToast · « **Reply #125 on:** Thu, 22 October 2015, 08:19:46 »

For 2 and 3 I would try and check your diodes and their orientation.
That's the only thing I can think of.

For 1. Its probably in the software. Most toggle keys are and you just have to find the function that controls those behaviour.
For 2 and 3 I would check what frosty suggested, but also make sure to try a different switch and LEDs. Just to rule out the possibility of defective components.

Everything can be programmed in the JigOn software.

I know about the software and I downloaded the latest version.
I just don't know what the options for the LEDs means.
After messing around with it for a while, I still don't know what things like "fading + push" means.
