*Help* Screw in stabilizers not fitting in Dropshift V2 keyboard
I'm trying to build a mechanical keyboard with screw in stabilizers, I've build some mechanical keyboards with click-in stabilizers, never with screw in. Somehow one of the pins of the metal top-part collides with the screw in stabilizer of the numpad "enter key". I already tried grinding of a bit of the pin that collides with the stabilizer, but unfortunately I can't make it fit/close properly. You can see that the pin of the toppart leaves a mark on the bottompart of the stabilizer, see picture 2. What am I missing? Using Durock V2 in a Dropshift fullsize V2. See pictures below, thanks in advance!

You can see an animation of the clears here, http://deskthority.net/wiki/Cherry_MX_Clear. So there's a spring that's keep the key held up (instead of the "domeness" of a dome style key) and once you press down to a certain point you'll feel and hear a bump. at which point you don't have to apply any more downward pressure. Reason I mention this is back when I used dome keyboards what annoyed me is the spongy feel the keys had and also some times the keys didn't actually register.
Closest you've probably experienced mechanical keyboards are in laptops. Some of those keyboards use what's called a scissor switch which gives a mechanical like feedback. My current keyboard at home is a logitech solar K750. At work I have a mac and so just use a mac keyboard. Not saying if you like laptop keyboards you'll like mechanical (plus a lot of them now are membrane ones anyway) but it's the closest readily available comparison I could give.
