Fyi, the bar feet can be rotated to change the keyboard slope/angle.

Except for one small detail, this would be my ultimate keyboard. I wish for the pyramid foot instead of the bar foot, now. But like Mick Jagger said, you can't always get what you want. :)

What exactly are pyramid feet? I can't find a picture.

I assume they're the keyboard feet shaped like pyramids, that much is clear. But what makes them special?

If we can give opinions the pyramid feet are ugly to me. Also material costs, mfg costs and lead time would probably be longer.

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)


My anodizing shop charges by the lot/tub

Maybe this place can only handle one rack per tub? Does $3 per phantom plate sound like a lot? I thought it was pretty cheap

Didn't get any numbers yet, but will most likely have your shop do the anodizing for the plate.

The anodizing place is different from my laser guy.

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..

IIRC the LZ-S had two different versions of the PCB, one that supported LEDs under every key, and one that only had Caps Lock and Scroll Lock. Do you know which will be included with this?

We have many ideas for 'LZ-GH EDITION'

'LZ-GH' own special creative (rotation of the foot, Different angle, etc) will be included.

and down trying to derive a reasonable price.

YOU CAN find the fastest info 4 LZ-GH at 'Red Line website, TEAM.RED-LINE member or Boost '


have a nice weekend.
