It's a custom (Korean?) keyboard produced by Team Redline. I'd say it's definitely worth at least $400 and I've seen them sell for more.

Unfortunately I don't have much information on the specifics of LZ-FE.  :(

I've seen that some older custom keyboards was assembled with modern blacks due to vintage blacks wasn't as popular as now
the difference is huge between those modern and vintage

I myself addicted to the vintage especially lubed

Here's some info on switches: link.

Blacks are linear switches, which means you'll get no click sound and no tactile bump when you actuate the switch.

That's great! you're already on you end game sir

I'm a clicky user like you, only uses blues/greens and other clicky stuff
but that vintage switch is an exception, it's so buttery smooth, and the springs is perfect weight

and the difference between the modern and vintage is huge, the vintage is so smooth while the modern has some scratchy feeling to it

Haha it's a keyboard-nerd thing, krytox works really well with keyboard switches
all in all these lube act to smoothen the sliding process inside a switch when you press it

difference series has different thickness thus why they apply it differently? let's just say they've done their homework as in which goes well with what

No you have not done anything wrong

Team redline or should I say Druger(?) had taken a lot of money from people for a groupbuy keyset and ran off with it so people are a little weary of buying these keyboards.

Also as to what you said earlier you might be able to pop the top of the switch off and change the spring without the need to solder but double check with the keyboard first, but a lot of custom aftermarket keyboards allow for the removal of switch tops without the need to solder.
