I want the new pyramid foot :D
Its cool!
Form filledSpammers?
P.S. Hope those spammer will not spam this thread
What would these look like?
Some things that might be of interest to everyone might be: quantity available and price estimate. I know these are usually limited batches with high price tags.

Don't get me wrong I am totally stoked, but I don't want to get my hopes up too high only to find out they are $600 and there is only 20 available
I don't see why this wouldn't be like any other keyboard group buy. Buyers place their orders, pay the invoice, then wait for the products to be produced and shipped.
Unless LZ doesn't operate that way.
Getting a feel on what layouts, colors, ect members want. :)

Oh yes, I realize this is just the IC. Buy if one final design is chosen from the most popular selections, I would think it would proceed as a normal group buy. Not being limited to a certain number of total orders, I mean. But again, I'm not familiar with how LZ runs his buys.
Orange on charcoal themed case!
This is a cool IC, thanks Boost!

That sounds pretty cool, Very GH! Hopefully it will have LZ-GH engraved on it like the other models did.
I think it will, might be something like this.

What's the difference between full-plate and half-plate?half plate is preferred to be used with tactile switches while a full plate is for linear switches, that's not to say you can't use whatever switch with either plate

Is it like a general consensus that the half plate is better for tactile switches or is it more like some people prefer the half plate and some prefer the full plate, just like some people prefer a switch and some prefer another?
I voted half plate because I don't have one, and I'd like to try it out!Me too :)
:(
Half plate? With new plate designs, you can open the switch without desoldering all the switches and removing the plate from the PCB.
Yep, and I hate the feel of typing on a PCB-mounted switch vs. a plate mounted switch. Why anyone would prefer it the other way is beyond me.
got about 50ish ppl interested, not bad for just 1 day :)
GG boost, GB time :cool:
How many are you expecting we can hit? =D
Who isn't interested in an LZ :\the people who think we spend too much on keyboards
You guy heard the info, limited with about 50 sets.
More info to come about pricing, pics, GB date/time, ect
Thank You All!!!

Oh damn! How much do you think it'll with switches + soldering by Alaric? :))
LZ- GH !!!nice logos!
I may offer to solder as well, if people need it. Otherwise, I'll keep to myself. :Psmally wana do a soldering GB again like the phantom cause i was thinking the same thing ;)
I thought you already had a ton of stuff. Hence why I offered.not really... At least as long as these all dont fall on top of each other...
Only 50 set...it will be CONUS only?
Gotta love having US proxies, just in case :D
But I doubt they would say CONUS only for the board. It is for our community, and if secret Santa taught us anything...no borders on GH :D

Korean keyboards. I guess I should just opt for phantom, since no one would be hogging it and the chance to buy them is fair.

This is probably the fairest opportunity you will get. I would assume boost would be going by the timestamps on his interest check form, and I would also assume a lot of people will drop their position once price is announced. So this should be a pretty fair sale :)
Or it might go like clack lucky draw types :D
And just for the sake of argument, that massive steel bar is why I *don't* want one. :)
Can somebody give me a little list of features that this keyboard has? I'm not up to speed with any of these fancy keyboards.Programmable, aluminum, Korean etc. :)
I see that it has a detachable USB cable for example.
Is it programmable?
Any function layer stuff?
Or is this mostly about the cool case and custom status?
And just for the sake of argument, that massive steel bar is why I *don't* want one. :)
What? you crazy! Thats the best feature. How else do you plan on beating your coworkers unconscious?

Will you only pick one of the 3 layouts? Or is it possible that all 3 will be made?
So now that we know the case will be anodized, are the going to be a set of colors we can pick from or are we going to vote for a single color?Orange!

Can't wait to see a preview of it. I hope it's a bit innovative and not just a Kmac with Geekhack engraved in it.
Man you know what would be super cool, but won't happen due to extra cost.

I guess you can send it out to get CNC'd with your name then reanodize...
Is it possible to change an IC? Being the indecisive person I am, I've never used a half plate and this is a good time as any.
After finally seeing the pyramid foot....hell yea! Would love for the LZ-GH to be designed in that style.
About how much are we talking when you say shipping international is going to be "expensive" ?

I'm unsure as to what 'bar feet design' means. Anyone have pictures? Thanks

The weight increase is one thing. The LZ-S is 3.3ish lb and LZ-GH is 5lbs

Yes it is, but there are other keyboards that are heavier tho...
1.5x the size of a regular alpha keys. This means the modifier keys on the bottom row will be wider than the ones on the average Filco (which are known as 1.25 mods). The 1.5 mod bottom row set up will require a 7x space bar.I realize what they are, I should have been more specific.

Btw boost, how exactly do you choose who gets and who doesn't. I know the price has not been confirmed, but I don't expect everyone to be willing to pay the cost.
Why limit the number of orders at all?
Again, why? There is no reason to limit PCBs other to impose artificial scarcity.
You have no idea where the machine time is coming from. Maybe it's a busy shop that allows 'whomever' machine time for cheap for short runs? On the other hand the traditional reason for small runs of Korean boards is the lack of space for staging packaging and shipping.
^ Yup and isn't there going to be a second run or something?
Vintage sets are a big hit among hobbyists, specifically genuine Cherry sets. Many people also find no use for their menu key and Windows key and prefer 84 and or 86 layout more

Many people need to familiarize themselves with the very useful hotkeys that involve the Windows key. :P
On some Linux distributions the "Super" key is used frequently as well.
For keyboard enthusiasts, a lot of people rely on mousing around to get things done.
it might be to runs for a total of 50 or two runs of 50 IDK. Either way atleast 50 people will be happy

Yeah, but with a fully programmable board, why can't a 84/86 key layout have a win/super key for those that want it?
I use Alt-Tab and Launchy.... Win-Keyless is 'popular' because of vintage Cherry DS popularity.
Now there is GMK, we can all join the vintage future. Gimme 87 keys, damnit. ;)
nothing beats the 1.5 mods and 7x spacebar!!!!
See, the thing is, I can buy an 87-key board all day. I have several of them. I can't just go to an online storefront and buy an 84-key board.This is pretty much it. If I'm going to fork out a lot of money on a board it better be something I can't get for $60.

Probably once it starts getting closer to $500?

Who picked these colors? These suck! same colors over and over in every run!
Let me rephrase that. They don't suck, they are just so similar to every other Korean keyboard run. The cool part about LZ was that they are different.
I am still going to try and get one :p
I am still going to try and get one :p
^ Try not. Do or do not. There is no try.
@Boost: I wanted to clarify that I am not mad at you about color choice or anything involving this Groupbuy, I felt my last couple posts were accusatory and that wa not my intent :) I think you are doing a great job organizing this. I was just a little disappointed with the color choices, but please don't misconstrue that as a lack of interest in this GB. I am still going to try and get one :p
Does the original anodized color matter when going to a different color?
I don't think so, since they have to media blast the anodized layer off anyway to get to the bare metal.
Has anyone got any ideas on what it would cost to get the case reanodized? I'm definitely interested in this case, but if I'm dropping some real money (which it sounds like I will have to) I want something more bling!This will depend on where you live and what options you have available to you. If you are lucky you can find prices around $30-40, I know some places go as high as $100. Keep in mind doing anodizing in low amounts (just 1 keyboard) tend to cost more per unit compare to doing a mass anodizing for a bulk amount.

Yup, I recently got a quote for anodizing, $30 per rack. So a single plate = $30 or 10 plates for $3 each. (10 plates per rack max)

If we can give opinions the pyramid feet are ugly to me. Also material costs, mfg costs and lead time would probably be longer.i dont like the alternating colors but thats it

Didn't get any numbers yet, but will most likely have your shop do the anodizing for the plate.
Boost,
Your second post doesn't say PCB is included. Reading one of your replies indicate it does. Great group buy!
More demand for winkeyless caps / tsangan kits I suppose..
please try and keep the final price with shipping and everything around or under 600$
its my credit card limit :( lol

if u want to full-led LZ-GH.
U Should be ready for the A87.full-LED PCB.
BUT, In Korea due to a lack of supply, we will not be able to provide.
thanks for all the clarifications and info, its a great look into the world of korean customs.hmm gues that cant be done and you wouldnt want to produce outside of koreabut ii want all leds its my dream you sure we cant do anything to persuade them?LZ-GH will not have the full led A.87 PCB, sorry fellas...even if we beg and throw more monies?

I'd productions, but it takes too much time.
We is preparing a new PCB and it will not be long.
But NEW PCB don't included LZ-GH.
LZ-GH is contained A87 PCB
Also has there been discussed the amount of these that will be available?
As far as I read I thought that was just a number somebody threw out. I didn't see anything from boost except if the quantity is limited it will be first come first servewell 50 was said for sure multiple runs was mentioned but never confirmed.

LZ-GH will not have the full led A.87 PCB, sorry fellas...Isn't there going to be a group buy for these at kbdmania? Lets get someone to help us get a piece of that :D

It'll be worth the wait, and PCBs are not all that expensive if Phantom has taught me anything.
I wants the PCB with all the lights :D
LEDs on anything more than three keys is just so...awful.Sometimes you just turn the LEDs on for pictures and not for practical use. Turning on Caps lock, Scroll Lock, etc for a picture is not quite as picturesque.

Now let's talk about shipping
1)in batch to Alaric
2)to USA
3)International
Shipping+switches should be less than $160...
I'm still in, found some vintage blacks ready to send to Alaric. Do you think he'd be willing to lube, sticker, and replace springs for me, or should i get all that done ahead of time?
Shipping+switches should be less than $160...
haha.. I think some areas will impose tax. and if you're gonna get it service and worked on by soldering wizards then it might very well be in that range x.x
ah, fair enough. now about those orange stickers?
Shipping+switches should be less than $160...I would probably not put something like blues/browns on it so whites/clears/green we'll say are $50. $20 for shipping. That is $410 without keycaps (though most people here have extras). If you don't, that's at least another $60 minimum depending on how special you want this board to be.

These prices are not out of line compared to the KMAC2, LZ SE or 456GT. They are about the same.Agreed, some had some insane price expectations.

Hey WFD, I think it just means that the interest check is closed since most of the details have been revealed. Boost said he will start taking orders sometime soon.12 week lead time needed for these to be created.

Pretty much, will start taking the orders sometime this week or next week. Will let everyone know when the order opens.
Thanks

The 84-key or 86-key layout of the LZ-GH is the same layout as the Phantom ANSI150. There is no difference.
Only difference is this one comes with a case designed by LZ.
Boost,
Not sure if this has/hasn't been suggested already but have you considered perhaps getting the cases and/or plate engraved?
As this would be a limited run of about 50 or so, I think having a serial number would give it the final touch that makes it a collectable or for people sitting on the fence to reach for their wallets.
Something like LZ-GH #01 or similar.
This can also lead to a GH thread with all owners and their customisations
LZ-GH #01 - Boost - 86key - Casecolor - MXcolor
Just something to consider.
Sorry if someones already thought of this
$340? I think I can live with that. Definitely excited for this.
And I'm all for okooko's idea to engrave a number on it. Preferably on the plate.
I would be also in for numers, my nummber would be nr 77 or 7 please :)

I think if there are any, it'll most likely be 1-50 due to the numbers actually being manufactured, but hey, its just an idea for now

Should be by who pays the quickest :)
Yeah, I was just thinking for $340 (or 400+ assembled TYD), the owners would like some identification, if anything it'll help keep the value and rarity.
As for choosing the numbers, a fully random number generator would be a start, but with the organisers (Boost/DrugER etc) get first dibs on what they want, likely #1, #2 but im sure other will be fine with that.
# of 50 would be cool, but none of that other stuff. Not like they're going to be popping up on the marketplace very often, but there'd be no way I'd buy it if it had someone else's name and switch preference
I want number 9, please. :)
any word on that serial numbering?

Shipping cost?
Hey alaricljs and boost, what did you guys have in mind as far as LED options? Will we provide that for you? Or does alaricljs have a warehouse full of that stuff? ;D
I have enough pink, white, blue, green to do all the boards in any 1 of those colors.... red, yellow, orange/amber didn't seem too popular so I have very low (to none at all) stock of those.
So opinions?
Shipping cost?
shipping to me will get spit between all orders and then shipping to you. USA shipping won't be bad as it's going out UPS but INT will be expensive -_-

When will payment be required?Soontm
How long after we pay should we expect the keyboard?

I would expect to pay when you place the order.seriously :( this is a horrible time for me :(

What are you guys talking about? I don't see the order form anywhere.....

1hr? But you just said you won't be back from lunch until tomorrow... That's something on the order of a 20hr lunch.
Oh cl***ifieds section... I hardly go in there anymore. GB subforum is more appropriate, no?thats what i said earlier...

Just to know...I'm not familiar enough with the PCB...but I don't think I have seen an LZ board that is not ANSI based

So at 1:30 est we place the order on the order form that will appear in the classified section? or will there be a thread on the group buy?theres a thread in the classifides already no form up of course.

I really nervous that it's going to take less than a minute. I hope not.hope its 1 per person
I hope boost's phantom case is cooler cause I'mma skip this one
At $370+, 50 units is a lot. I'm not worried at all about availability. Of course the Koreans could descend with multiple accounts and buy them up, but by now I'm too worn out to care.

I think people are worried because its easy to reserve a spot on something expensive with no money down and deny somebody who does have the money the chance to get it. Then when the time does come and people can't pay up it becomes difficult for people to throw money together on the spot to get a chance vs this where there is a set date and time and people should have the money

Forget gold leaf, just use solid gold housings. That'll dampen harshness.4
Gold leaf'd be too thin, and gold sheet not mailable enough, sorry. May I recommend velum as an alternative?
Platinum is only a couple of GBP/g more than gold, if you're looking for truly expensive materials - some of the johny-come-lately's are quite... prohibitive?

Back on topic... I probably missed the discussion in this thread but was there ever a chance of getting Blue as one of the colors? Black, gray, and red aren't very unique.

I'm still unsure why the Korean customs don't come to geekhack to sell their boards. Do they not want to make money? What happens instead is certain people get them, mark them up and sell at ridiculous prices. I would think the manufacturer would want to make that money.Then boost made this thread 3 days later.... :p
Please sell LZ keyboards here DrugER and LifeZ
I like how the 'H' looks like the hardocp [H]. It is like [G]eek [H]ard. The red kinda looks like hardocp red too.

you are welcome everyone ;)
I know in reality this was probably in the works for awhile, but a guy can dream.
One more thing, at this price, will these really sell out as fast as everyone is making it seem?... I really hope not ...
One more thing, at this price, will these really sell out as fast as everyone is making it seem?I doubt it. The amount of people on these forums who back up what they say they'll buy with their wallets is actually a small number. They're also the ones with all the cool keyboards/keys. So go in the "post your... " threads and find those people and count how many posted ITT. :D
hotcake = pancake right?
I don't know about you guys, but I have the cash to drop immediately, and am 100% going to order one.
KuhnTang: You shouldn't worry about boost taking your money and running.
boost: have we figured out where the weight difference between this and the LZ-S comes from? was the bottom of the case not stainless steel before? was the bar smaller/thinner?
If me and my friend order to the same shipping address, is that ok?
Invoices will be sent ASAP and 12 week lead time to create keyboard once payment is sent to the CNC shop. If you cannot do this, please don't submit an order and let someone else get a chance at it.
Do you know the differences with the lz-f? I can't find any info on it ;(I don't know about you guys, but I have the cash to drop immediately, and am 100% going to order one.

As I mentioned in the other thread, I'd be willing to trade the 87 key pcb and plate from my LZ-S for an 86 key pcb and plate if that's more your style. My plate is royal blue, and already has (clear with black springs) switches installed, if 87key is more your style.I missed your post.
cannot wait for this OMG, how is this going to be run?
