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?
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!
