ALT V2 not detected with Drop Keyboard Configurator
Hi, This is my first non-mac keyboard. I was under the impression that this would work out of box with with mac desktop however I am having issues getting the ALT V2 detected with the keyboard configurator software. The keyboard is plugged in and powered on. Apologies if this is very basic or if I have used incorrect language describing my issue, I don't have experience with this. Thank you

From Art to Artisan
Before launching any product, there are many designs, concepts, and ideas that pass between teams before arriving at a final design which makes its way to your computer screen and, eventually, desk. This is no more true than when considering possibly the most "art"-forward aspect of the mechanical keyboard hobby—artisan keycaps. It should be obvious that a lot of planning and artistry goes into crafting these literal pieces of art. We don't often get a chance to see behind the curtain, though. So, let's take a closer look at the upcoming Drop + Dwarf Factory Lord of the Rings Rohan Artisan Keycaps. Before any resin is spilled, Middle Earth (the entity that licenses the Lord of the Rings IP) needs to approve the concepts based on concept art provided by Dwarf Factory. We connect with DF to coordinate on the topic and subject matter—in this particular case, additional Rohan-themed designs—to be sure that the concepts match with overall direction, whether that be pairing up with a...

My Kingdom for Smooth ABS SA Keycaps
Every time I build a new keyboard, I go hunting for keycaps. And every time I go hunting, it eventually devolves into a desperate search for SA (or equivalent) profile keycaps with a smooth finish. SA is the ultimate profile, IMHO, and they're relatively hard to come by. Signature Plastics, which is where a lot of SA sets come from like the T0mb3ry SA Carbon set (they might actually hold the trademark on the SA profile if I'm not mistaken), is reportedly going through some management/ownership struggles (last I heard, they're looking for new ownership), and along with apparently the rest of the industry, they seem to be neglecting this superior keycap profile in their own stocks. If you order direct from them, they have a couple themed sets in stock (maybe), but generally you can have any color you want, as long as it's black or white. Drop carries a fair number of MT3 profile sets, which are very similar to SA. But just like SP's SA-P profile, they're made with a different...

DCX vs DCD vs DCL - Drop’s Keycap Profiles Explained
We’ve covered the basics of keycap profiles before—spherical/cylindrical, sculpted/uniform, etc. One thing that has come up more and more over the years as we’ve expanded our portfolio of offerings here at Drop is the distinction between some of our similar profiles. Specifically, what is the actual difference between DCX, DCD, and DCL? Cylindrical Profiles To recap the previous article on the topic, one of the most basic ways to separate various keycap profiles is by shape (cylindrical, spherical, or flat). DCX, DCD, and DCL are all cylindrical profiles. The most famous cylindrical profile is Cherry profile, as defined by the original manufacturer of the keycaps—Cherry. GMK now owns those tools, and as such, only they can technically claim to produce “Cherry” profile keycaps. Similar keycap profiles are often called Cherry profile colloquially, but are in actuality slightly different. For the sake of not splitting hairs, all of the cylindrical profiles discussed here are...

Also, I can't believe you accommodate all these funky keyboards, and not Corsair. /sulk
Edit: and the thing with Corsair is their weird spacebar. Signature Plastics literally doesn't have a mold for a spacebar that size.
As I think about it, if Corsair/Razer/Logitech were smart (not sure if anyone else has that space bar), they'd give SP money to offset that investment. They could get some free advertising out of it if they do some fancy announcement. Nice PR.
It would also likely improve sales, because I know of people that won't buy the keyboards solely because of their non-standard bottom row.
I especially can't see upgrading regular keyboards that are totally fine for what they are (non-ergonomic) when my Keyboard.io Model 01 is finally getting close to production. Since it uses proprietary keycaps, I'll be using the Corsair as one of my "keycap boards" for some time to come!
Unfortunately your Corsair won't be much for keycaps either way, as there aren't any solutions for it's unique length spacebar.
I hate to burst that bubble of omniscience you're rocking, but a lot of people who buy these keyboards actually USE them. LIKE them. Even LOVE them. They will never solder their own PCB, or buy a custom Korean board, or decide they can't live without a keyboard with at least 3 programmable layers. And they're HAPPY!
I already KNOW there's a dearth of spacebar options for my Corsair keyboard - I knew it when I bought it, and I bought it anyway. Tai Hao and Max Keyboard already know and benefit from the fact that many "heathen" people with non-standard, mainstream mechanical keyboards WANT to spend money on better/cooler keycaps. Further, people will actually choose NOT to buy keycap sets that won't accommodate their Corsair/Logitech/Razer keyboard's spacebar. Particularly when the set costs more than their actual keyboard. At this point, SP doesn't care (or market research says demand isn't there to make it profitable), but that hopefully will change.
SP will also never care. They are a much larger manufacturer of molded plastic goods that merely keeps their keycap presses running because they know they can always throw them on PMK to get rid of any spare inventory.
