LCK75 SL by short_lurker is a modification of LCK75 Rev1, a 75% through-hole keyboard originally designed by Lyso1 aka TheLysol_27.

The original LCK75 design, which was inspired by the Sat75 from CannonKeys, the Discipline/Mysterium from CFTKB, and Dissatisfaction 65 from Nicell, was featured almost a year ago in KBD#25.

Recently, short_lurker announced his project based on that PCB, a heavily modified version of it.

As you can see comparing the two PCBs, there are some important changes:

  • switch footprints allow hotswap sockets now,
  • diode footprints updated and diodes rearranged,
  • swapped OLED display positions with buttons and ISP header,
  • USB-C connector mirrored,
  • updated plate for more strength,
  • and many more updates and rearrangements.

Due to these changes, especially because of the new position of the USB-C connector, existing cases made for the original LCK75 will not work with this PCB.
