Pardon my ignorance, hoping someone can help a newb here. I am in the market for a good keyboard and wanted to harken back to the old mechanical keyboards I used in the 90’s, so I started perusing. I really like the look of these keys but what is the actual board/base in the picture? Any other recommendations for a nice vintage/retro look? Thanks.

R3tr0The board on the pics are just computer-rendered TKLs. Depends on whether you'd like to try actual vintage keyboards or not, as to your question on what board recommendations. Custom keyboard kits may vary significantly in price, but I would say they are mostly above $225 for aluminum custom kits.

R3tr0For retro look I recommend Leopold series, in white. That one is the best OEM keyboard IMO.

Edit: I mean PBT, sorry.

Hamm3rBut I agree, Leopold keycaps are nice. Heck, almost everything about it is very nice right after you unbox it.

R3tr0If you want the best retro mech, https://www.modelfkeyboards.com/ Keep in mind, this project took 3 years to get to this stage, we are finally getting to the finish line - but, you will still have to wait till around July for your keyboard. There will be another batch towards the end of the year, then that's it.

*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)?
