Title: Can I have more info about LZ-F?
Post by: Ultratude on Mon, 15 July 2013, 04:03:10
Can I have more info about LZ-F? It's kind of hard for me to get more info and pics about this keyboard. Thanks.  ;D

What specific info did you want on it? I was about to upload an assembly video on it, but haven't gotten around to editing it yet.

You probably haven't seen them much because there are only 10 existing. It's black anodized aluminum shell and plate, black PCB, red steel bottom cover, and brushed bar for the feet. Not sure what other info you need. Calavera has pic of his in the Korean keyboard thread.

10 were made (it was a very small run), out of those only 2 are black. Funny enough both blacks belong to GHers.
Most owners have custom anodized them in various colors.

LZ stands for LifeZone, the alu case designer. F stands for First. S stands for Second. Plate allows for switch opening without desoldering which is standard on all LZ boards. A86, 87 layout PCB, full LED capable.

I just watched your video about the LZ-F PCB. Very nice, man.
Maybe I should just wait for your assembly video. And thanks for the info you provided in your reply.

Is there any notable difference between the LZ-F and LZ-S?  I also read the LZ-GH is a modified LZ-S but I can barely tell other than pcb mount and possibly a chance on the  pcb

LZ-F supports full LED? In WhiteFireDragon's video, he says it only has two LEDs...

LZ-GH is supposed to have some design changes but I couldn't tell from pictures. The LZ-GH does weigh a little more.

That really depends on the PCB.
