Anyone recommend a nice, inexpensive board to go along with these as a DiY project? preferably a TKL board compatible with LEDs.

Slimeggs17For TKL I think it's mostly kits where you get a PCB, Plate, and case all in one package. I believe kbdfans has one. But, you'll need to solder the switches on.
If you're looking for a board where you can plug-and-play (hotswappable switches), then your options are pretty much: - Glorious PC Gaming Race's GMMK - Team Wolf CIY - Input Club x Massdrop K-Type (not that cheap)
Can't say I know too many others unfortunately

Slimeggs17you could always try buying a cheap tkl on amazon, desoldering the clone blues that all of them come with, and replacing them with these.

StuPastuI have a Team Wolf Zhuque (CIY) and its surprisingly nice for the price. I used it at work for over a year and it works great.

WHOMSTVEPer the description for this item, yes, they should be. They are noted as being SMD LED Compatible.

WHOMSTVEthey do, i actually ended up ordering a Zhuque. they fit a little snug, so be careful putting in the switches. i bent and broke about 4 of the copper prongs.

Slimeggs17recently moved from the Zhuque to the GMMK. althought the differences are mostly lighting, and housing. but i really enjoy it. but also still works with these switches. :D

*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!

Polymer clay

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)?
