*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!

Don't drop crazy cash on custom wood builds! Instead go buy polymer clay and paint. Then you can spend a ridiculous amount of time trying to make it look like you can afford to drop crazy cash on...

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)?

Here's a TKL with SMD LED's, very easy to re-solder new switches in if ya want (the one I own, Ive replaced the blue's with brown's) :
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019O9BLVY?keywords=K552%20RGB&qid=1457982630&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1
And another with with through switch LED design, not as compact as the first though (and harder to replace the switches if ya want, cause you'll also have to de-solder 4 pin RGB LED's along with the switches to replace them) :
http://www.amazon.com/Redragon-K553-RGB-Backlit-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B019O9LPI8/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1457982594&sr=1-2&keywords=K553+USAS
Both are full RGB with the same effects and per key lighting as the E-Element RGB Keyboard.
Also, for those asking for the drop to start, they can only start it when the manufacturer is ready for an order. And with the sheer amount of different model key boards this manufacturer has flooded the market with (seriously, like a quarter of the mechanical boards on the market are made by them), it's understandable that a large quantity order takes them a little while to re-tool and restock to be ready for it.
Edit:
Also for this Keyboard, there is software for it to program lights and macro's that most don't know about cause it only shown on Chinese sites that sell the keyboard, so for those that haven't read back quite a few pages, I'll quote a couple of my older posts:
"Actually the real name of this Keyboard is "E element Z-77 Fighting Falcon Symphony RGB". This, the Redragon, and the EagleTec keyboards, also Redragon, and UtechSmart mice (all sold on Amazon) are just distributor names. All are made by the parent company Eastern Times Technology Co. Ltd and distributed to various vendors to be sold. There's even programmable software for the Keyboard that most don't know about, cause its only advertised on tw.taobao.com, here's the link to it:
http://www.eyspc.cn/CNwebFile/services/services12.shtml
It's the "FwCustom Driver.zip" and the file above it, you can use Google Translate to see the file names. It's a small world, and if you investigate stuff, you'll find mostly everything we buy is usually manufactured by one company in China and just sold under different distributed names."
And a translation I did of the software manual in English:
"OK, I've translated the text in the manual, some of it might be a little wonky, but you'll get the gist. I couldn't add English pictures into the .pdf cause I only have the Redragon K555 version and the chip is different and wont allow me to open the program once installed. But comparison of the text and English visuals of your program installation should suffice." :
