Great so far. First time hotswap board.
The PCB lacks a physical reset button. At least my version does (the RGB ANSII).
Took me a little while to figure out, but to get it into reset mode, you need to hold ESC while plugging the board in. Should be good to go for QMK flashes from there.
The only thing that I don't like about this PCB is that it didn't exactly fit in the spare 60% case I had laying around. I had a spare case from a Vortex Pok3r, and the USB0-C port on the pcb was just a little bit too big to fit through the existing hole in the case for a micro USB port. Thankfully some jewelers files helped solve this problem.
Great board initally, but causing issues after one week (DZ60 ANSI Hotswap V2)
Recently decided to put this board together with my 5* kbd fans case and a brass plate. After putting it together, if i type fast or put any more than just gentle pressure on the middle section of keys, it types out "6yhn" and the "n" key activates constantly until you hit the space bar to interrupt it. Really takes away from an otherwise nice keyboard and build experience. If anyone else has encountered this and has a fix, please share!
Yeah!
Do you have plastic washers where you screwed in the stabilizers? I figured out that was the problem, so if you don't have the plastic washers on the stabilizers, it will essentially "bridge" the column it is attached to, which activates all the keys in the row. At least that was the issue with mine.
Terrible PCB, stopped working after 1 month of casual use and now it just hard locks every time its connected to my PC. I have reset the PCB multiple times which is a pain to access with a plate and switches installed in a case every time it crashes. I even tried to reflash the board which was a waste of time. Got a BM60 instead.
You have to be kidding. I was very specific as to which model I wanted. I ordered the correct one and was sent the wrong boards. I reached out to support, and they were helpful. They had everything shipped back and the correct boards sent….I thought. Just opened my package today and I’m looking at the wrong boards…….AGAIN. No happy at all. Will not continue to shop here.
DZ60 RGB - Good 60% PCB to have Hot Swap and Arrow Keys
I purchased the DZ60 RGB (Hotswap) so I could have dedicated arrow keys, VIA/QMK support, and hotswap sockets. The RGB was simply icing on the cake. The listing of $60 is a decent price, it's listed for $55 on kbdfans, but $5 isn't too bad. However I have seen this PCB listed for $45, and that is a great price for a great hotswap 60% PCB. The only thing to consider is it may be more difficult to find a cheaper keycap set to fit the layout of the DZ60 (Hotswap) due to the 1.75u Right Shift and 1u bottom keys. If you are interested in a more traditional 60% layout which will support nearly all keycaps sets, look at the DZ60RGB ANSI (Hotswap).
Overall, very happy with this product and would recommend.
I had been using the DZ60rgb ansi hotswap board for a year and a half. Initial setup was easy but there was some odd bugs that I never paid much attention to. After 6 months when I would turn my computer on I would need to unplug and replug the board back in for the computer to recognize it and allow for use. Than now 12/8/2021 the board has had some sort of short that makes usage impossible. troubleshoot has proven ineffective and I have tested every method possible to eliminate any other type of problem with a cable or the computer and made a definitive determination that it is the pcb at fault. Unfortunate that it couldn't go the distance. I loved the lighting effects. If I can get some help I would love to be cooperative because I do not believe this is a common case given the rest of reviews.
Initial problem of the diagonal 8, i,k and , not working. Found a solution to it online, a few weeks later it would not connect to anymore, flashed the firmware and got it working. Didn't turn off when pc turned off and required me to unplug it and plug it back in, sometimes I had to do this when turning on the pc cause it wouldn't detect it resulting in me having to use the onscreen keyboard to log in to fix the problem. Now the LED's have stopped working even after reset and flashing.
Build quality is also poor found a transistor or something that just feel off the board.
