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. With countless numbers of content creators talking about lubing switches, its no...

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

I believe that it needs (beeing a fully build computer part) an CE "certification", which I doesn't have. The same happend to the first batch of peble smartwatches. Depending at which customs location they were processed, the import was impossible because of the missing CE certification.
Let's hope everything goes well, I mean it is a custom build keyboard in low quantity. Why should it matter if I build it from the parts on my own in germany or somebody else builds it an ships it here?.
Maybe its due to the low quantity (i hope…)
So I called the customs office: the only definive answer they will give is, that they will charge taxes (Umsatzsteuer). Beyond that, it's a matter of the "Marktüberwachungsbehörde" or "Behörde für Produktsicherheit". And whether customs will hand it over to them depends on the customs officer. And is apparently decided case-by-case.
So I called the "Behörde für Produktsicherheit": they told me whether the import will be allowed is decided case-by-case and depends on the official assigned. It depends on how that official is interpreting the "Produktsicherheitsgesetz". They'll check for CE markings of the individual components, supply voltage, frequencies and included assembly instructions. The assembly instructions need to be in german. Anyone up for a translation? Maybe create a PDF in german from the assembly instructions and include that with the kit?
Maybe somebody from Germany has some experience importing modelling kits such as rc cars, rc planes?
