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

Imagine the caps you have on a Dell rubber-dome keyboard to be your dad's old banger - Feels like it'll fall to bits any moment and you just drive it because you can't or don't want to splash out for anything newer or more flashy.
Then, a Tai-Hao PBT set might be an Audi or something similar - Feels pretty good to drive, and is fairly rugged, but doesn't exactly leave you penniless.
And finally - at least from what I've heard - GMK sets are like Jaguars - High-quality creation that's smooth and uses rare parts (in this case, Cherry's moulds, which use a slightly different profile to 'standard' sets). I've never used a GMK set myself, but I've heard it's not the usual kind of ABS that's barely touched before it feels slick.
Looking at other things from GMK - let's say the (in)famous Sky Dolch - you're looking at USD$180. Hell, looking things up just now, I've found a nearly-identical set for USD$180: https://originative.co/products/originative
So, yeah, it's a pretty boring colour set and it's just a standard font, but I don't know about you, but I've been looking for WoB for quite a while because it's apparently rare as hell.
I'll be honest - it's a lot of cash. I can't say for sure whether or not it's worth it. I'm not even sure if I'm going to make the dive myself, but of all of the brands to have a price tag like this, GMK makes the most sense.
Of course, the people who want that kind of quality are those more willing to pay the higher tiers of price. I'm rather interested in a GMK set to see if it lives up to the hype, and I'm considering picking this set up as a result, but I wouldn't think less of someone who'd not be willing to front the cost.
Would there be a market for everything that would be left over after doing a TKL board? I can't see myself ever leaving the form factor and selling the downfall would be a great way of softening the cost.
