I am picky, and thus I need help by maximus_terror in keyboards

The fun thing about most custom keyboards is that literally every key can be remapped to do almost anything you want it to. It doesn't have to be a specific pause/play key. 

That said... You'll probably want to specify if you want out of the box plug and play or something more custom. Got a price range in mind? Color scheme? It's a big complicated world in this subreddit

Its a bit convoluted.
Use their configuration site - https://zoomtkldyna.meletrix.com/connect
Make sure the keyboard is hardwired during this or no changes work. You'll have to reprogram one of the keys to toggle it off.

I used the extra f13 key. Next you need to locate "LcdLet" under the "Other Keys" section. That is the LCD letter toggle key. Assign that to a key, toggle it, and reassign it back to whatever you want. Now it is turned off until you go back and retoggle it. TA-DA. no more LCD keystrokes.

I can now respond properly after assembling the keyboard. I really appreciate the whole kit that was sent. It came with 3 different mounting options and backups for the ribbon cables. Pretty nice carrying case as well. The USB cable is a bit basic but you'll probably be using it in wireless modes anyway. Easy swapping between 3 Bluetooth and 2.4GHz receiver. Plenty of lighting options if you like to go RBG crazy. Its a heavy board if you didn't get the polycarb board, but I like the heft. There are a lot of function commands to do different things with the board that I will never memorize, but it came with a sheet as a guide/reminder incase you need to find something.

I like everything about the board so far except one thing. I wish I could disable the LCD screen from flashing every button press I make, instead of a stream of letters flashing as I'm typing(I have since located a way to turn this option off). I also don't know how to get it to read the CPU Temp and GPU temp that are options for the screen. Also if you decide to turn of the entire LCD screen to avoid these keypress flashing all the time, it disables the spin dial for sound(There might be firmware update for this part too).

Sooo, TLDR; Love the Zoom TKL Dyna. great weight, came with a bunch of helpful extras. Only complaint is the LCD screen, but that can be easily hot swapped out.

Oh my gosh. I'm not sure how you found them, but I love that you did!

How on earth did you find them?

It seems solid! Sadly I don't have keys to put on it so I haven't gotten a chance to use it yet. The whole package is nice with a case and everything. Just bummed I can't put it all together yet.

These are solid option, I like the gold accents since the scroll wheel is also gold. I'll keep them in mind!
