This was a great little PCB to use. I run it with the VIA software which makes it a breeze to use and remap some keys! Looks great and fit the case perfectly
I spent a lot of time reading and finally decided to buy the DZ60 RGB ANSI. It arrived quickly and was fully functioning. Hotswappable switches make setting this board up super easy. I've been using VIA to customize and it's worked perfectly. If you're looking for a first time PCB for a 60% build - this is the one to buy. I also love the RGB options included. I didn't need to write any QMK code, just switched the the style I liked and set the hue and saturation to match the LEDs under my desk.
Quality product, arrived quickly, packaging was lacking
Bought this pcb as part of a custom build I’m doing to surprise a friend who loves the custom keyboard space but can’t afford to spend the money/time on a mid-to-higher-end build.
I bought the “DZ60 RGB (Hotswap)” option. This specific sque is the DZ60RGBv2 PCB (ISO layout), meaning it is the 60% layout that is compatible with full arrow key layouts.
Upon delivery the PCB arrived in one piece, inside of a small, bubblewrap-padded, polymer envelope, situated inside of a larger box containing the rest of my purchases from DROP.
The PCB DID arrive in one piece, and fully functional too, but I was surprised that it did. I was so worried it would be broken when I saw how it had been packaged, that the first thing I did was voltage test every trace on the PCB just to be sure (it was fine).
Having since installed it into the custom case I carved myself, I did have some difficulties with finding compatible plates for the PCB, but that isn’t DROP’s fault, that’s just the lack of support for my specific sque.
Had a strange issue where the bottom row of switches would function as normal, but also trigger other switches as well (pressing the spacebar would also type the letter “t” etc). But after a handy reset via the integrated switch on the underside of the pcb, all was good / fixed with that weird issue.
Am currently awaiting delivery of the LOTR (elvish) themed keycaps from DROP to complete the build, where I will then give it to my friend as an early Christmas present.
Overall pretty good
I have three of these, one in a case I bought from KBDFans and two that are waiting for cases. It's a 60% but the screw layout and USB-C plug make it incompatible with older Pok3r style 60% cases. KBDFans no longer sells any cases that are compatible (the tofu 60 v2 is a gasket style).
Also note that these different boards have different QMK configurations, so make sure you pick the right one or you'll get a bin when you need a hex etc.
If you've sourced a case, pay real close attention to the non ANSI RGB layout, notice the [/] and [SHIFT] on the right side, that was a dealbreaker for me I've mapped [/] to the shift button and [SHIFT] to the up arrow but it's stupid and you may need to customize your plate as well.
I had a tofu60 I was making and couldnt find a dz60 anywhere, and when I bought this it was great and I had no problems using it and was very happy to be able to get a 60% with or without arrow keys.
