PCB is printed circuit board... yah.. the keyboard's motherboard...

Where do you see the word "LZ"?

If you saw them from Chinese Forums, then it probably mean LouZhu - Which mean thread starter.

cyclonechua is getting it that time, so he asked anyone interested,
so I say I want one set, he ordered one extra set for me and one more for dunno-who.
he getting 3 sets from Geekhack, so the shipping from USA are quite high, because not many people sharing.

That was back at April, and then Geekhack down, and up again recently,
then when I check Geekhack, they say they already sending the keycaps,
I pm cyclone and he told me he already got the keycaps
so I ask him how much, he told me that 3 people sharing postage so its high,
but I think its within acceptable range, and I paid him and he sent it to me,
last months.

From April To August..... 4 months+ total.
The price and rarity also raised between these time.

wah, like very mafan to get it here

Is this keycaps still available in this current tme? Y its become rare? din it produce in high quantity last time?

The quantity they produce depend on how many sets people are ordering,
they do not make extra sets to stock up and sell later,
people order how many set, they made how many set, no extra.
that's why they wait so long, to collect many many sets to order together.

So all sets are sold out when they start shipping,
maybe some one order extra sets to sell later,
but they won't sell low price of course.
that's how the group buy work,
like the Red Alert also, when they started the group buy for it in the beginning,
it was USD$60++, now selling USD$80++ already.

If you want to start to order again, you need to make around 100++ sets
one time, then the price will be below USD100,
if you can't get that many sets, they usually would not start another group buy.


Go geekhack Classified and see for yourself,
many people are looking for those double shot sets even now,
not many are willing to let go,

last time I check, there isn't any one selling their
Cream Cheese and Green (CC&G) set.

The LZ logo is on the case,
but we still not sure that is the team name or his personal nick name....

Oh so the keyset actually being produced on demand la..ok I get it now so the cream and cheese is an ABS right coz it made into double shot..What does the advantage of double shot over PBT caps? is it last longer oso?

The 2shot ABS touch are "softer" in a way, compare to PBT's stiffness,
and the Legend are way higher in contrast compare to the sub-dye print
applied on PBT caps.

and ABS has no limit to the color selections,
you can have red on blue background,
and white on red like the red alert modifier keys,
for PBT, the printed color must be darker than the keys background colors.

for PBT, even thou it is likely beyond human's finger typing capabilities to wear the key's legend away,
the 2shot ABS keys are wear resistant even to tools wearing, et. if even you use sand paper to sand it
half way to the middle of the key, the legend are still there.

I think sub-dye can be sanded off with sand paper.

any special with this PCB board? is that mean i cant use the filco original board on this case?


haha, 4 months is really something but the price is still consider good la


thanks, learn a lot

Alert! Warning! These might sting your eyes! lol!

My Leopold, with double shot CC&G modifiers, and some Cherry thick doubleshot I got sometime ago,
since the modifiers of the old cherry keyboard doesn't fit to my Leopold switch stem position,
I have set them aside for a few months now, until I tried the black + green combination,
I find it not bad and realize that I have these doubleshot white on black keys sitting ideally in my drawer!
So I put them on, replacing the Leopold's A~z, numbers, and etc x1.0 keys, and replace the modifier with the green modifier from the CC&G sets, turn out not bad at all! then since there are many others double shot sitting in the drawer too, I start playing around with it, until what shows on the photo @@..... What to say.?

I replace the black 8 ball with the red lightning bolt key, since one black key at that position aren't fit in well.
Alien at Insert key, (there might be some shape shifting Aliens inserted among human race as spy?)
and far away~ key are Alien too.
Solviet hammer sickle at Esc, 5 and 0 key,
the home and end key replace with the reverse and inverse Pi key,
cat paw on page up and down, foot prints, why not?
/ key for lightning bolt, same angle anyway.
the yin and yang, for the arrow keys, in x and y axis, some how reflect the ancient Chinese philosophy, no?
J & F, the CC&G's Cream color with green lettering, for easier recognition.
the spacebar are still the original one from Leopold, can't tell from its look?

Tell me what you all think about this, ok?

this looks great
