*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!

Want to build a Clicky Mech Keyboard. Where to begin?
Hello all. Am brand new to the idea of building my own keyboard. Have not a clue where to begin this process. I am a Sim Game enthusiast. American Truck Sim, DCS Flight Sim and goes from there. Need some real help on where to start for making my own Full Size, Clickey Mechanical KB. I want each key to have its own backlighting. Are there keys that are better than others for this? Is there a great spot on site for a person who has never even taken a keyboard apart? Let alone fixed or built one? I would like it to fit my theme of Red and Black. Yet maybe have the option of changing things up a bit. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all kindly, Durazell

Does the ALT v2 PCBA support USB-C e-marked cables?
Currently my ALT v1 does not work with e-marked USB-C cables. I was wondering if the v2 PCBA does support these types of cables (thunderbolt 4 cable for example)?

Anyone have a better suggestion?
I also put the Vortex BPT caps on my boards, an yeah, it's a really nice upgrade. Well worth doing.
However, I later put red WASD O rings on both boards and discovered that only the Brown switches with the double shot BPT caps worked with the O rings installed.
On the Blue board, the extra support plastic on the underside of the cap for the double shot legends lowered the inside ceiling of the cap too much. With the O ring installed, the keystroke would bottom out too soon after the click, and it didn't feel right.
With the Brown switches, this was not an issue. Maybe because there isn't a click on the Browns.
Still, the extra weight and texture of the BPT caps elevate the typing experience over the stock ABS caps.
Because of my positive experience with DAS boards, I really hope this drop goes through.
Are the Vortex blanks black? In the pictures they almost look charcoal instead of black... (https://www.massdrop.com/buy/vortex-pbt-keycaps)
O rings are something I haven't tried. Will have to do that someday.
Here's a photo of mine with the Vortex PBT caps:
I need to clean those caps though. They've been on there almost a year at this point.
