What are A87 / LZ S(5) ?

These keyboards has been floating around the picture thread for a while, and there are so many variations. Acrylic case, metal case, metal on acrylic, etc for the A87, and less variation for the LZ S(5) ?


Is this some sort of a, here's the PCB, here's the acrylic thickness, go build your own keyboard project?

As far as I know, A87 is name of PCB. Many acrylic cases were made using the PCB and are named A87. PCB and acrylic case design files are shared among members and some variation of the cases are made as well. Several aluminum cases have been made too and one of them is LZ series. LZ F is (Lifezone first edition)LZ S is (Lifezone second edition)Lifezone is screen name of the designer of case.(source: http://l.otd.kr/7WNRW3WK )Other aluminum case based on A87 is Koala(코알라) case designed by korellas. There are several custom cases based on A87 because the design files are shared and the PCB can be made upon order. Other PCB designs are not shared.

@ Limmy, do you know where I can find the the PCB file, and the case design?Also, for some of the acrylic case designs that I came across, the thickness is in terms of 'T'. 1T, 2T, 3T. What does that mean?

So even if the PCB file were open to the public i would still need to make my own Aikon controller?
