as you can see from here the bottom has a very different form. the pins are in a similar space but much shorter and turned 90 degrees. this is only compatible with the eg switches. http://www.tomshardware.com/news/epic-gear-defiant-mechanical-keyboard,31356.html this isn't the first modular full size the team wolf one came first and was also SMD RGB backlit. this one has a much nicer aesthetic as far as the cleaner shape over the team wolf one but isn't the first also the team wolf is more compatible with more switches. you can find the team wolf drop here or on amazon for about $20 more then the massdrop price but no waiting.

AntonyFaragI don't think so: on the first image you can see the holes for led pins at the bottom so the switches pins are at the same place :')

zurboIt looks to me like they are twisted 90 degrees. I could be wrong or i could be right. I have already sent an e-mail to epicgears support team will report back on compatibility results when i have them for the community.

AntonyFaragthat close the debate:

this is a MX switch from the "right" (depend on the mounting technique of the keyboard) side and:

this is from the front "left" side

zurbocloses nothing looks to me like this is the front right side look at the key cap at the top. lets stop arguing wait till i get an official response.

AntonyFaragerrrrr right or left don't change the orientation of the flat on the pins (only change the layout of the switch on the PCB)

Vote

Apr 5, 2016

zurboif front left that means the front is on the right side of the screen making it horizantal if front right that would put front at left making it vertical.

Do I Need to Lube My Keyboard Switches?

Figure 1: Sometime around here is a good time to ask that question... If you’re new to the mechanical keyboard hobby, I have no doubt that planning your first keyboard build is a bit of a daunting task. To be entirely honest with you, it’s only a tiny bit less daunting for your second or even third keyboard builds should you stay around a little while longer. You’ve got the keyboard itself to worry about, stabilizers, keycaps, and even switches on top of all of the intangible marks you want your dream keyboard to hit. Switches are especially daunting right out of the gate as there’s just so many options out there to pick from – each with their own unique specifications, manufacturers, and more. Yet, in spite of all of these differences between switches, time and time again I find people always asking about lubing switches as one of their chief concerns when it comes to picking some up.

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
