LCK75 SL
Lyso1's LCK75 PCB updated, tweaked and republished by u/short_lurker.
Published March 25, 2022
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.
