Hi. I’m new to mechanical keyboards and love this design. if I order I think it’s only the key caps I’d get. i Think I’d need the base for the keys too. Am I correct?
any responses are appreciated. Thanks.

WtybrownYes you only get keycaps. You already need a keyboard. And depending on your keyboard, you would have to buy a number of kits to cover all the keys on that keyboard. If you tell us what keyboard you want to put these on, I or someone else can help you figure out what kits you need.

WtybrownI'm not sure if those are based on specific keyboards that actually exist, but it looks like generic TKL and 60% renders to me. Meaning you could buy any standard aluminum TKL or 60% keyboard and it'll look like the ones in the picture, for the most part. I'm heading to work right now so I can't send you examples and let you know what kits you'll need, yet. If someone hasn't covered it already by the time I get to work, I'll reply to you again.

WtybrownYou just hit up the mechanical keyboard subreddit. That's the best place to learn, start, see pictures, ask questions, etc. This is a specialized product discussion, but that sub would be a fantastic place to see what you didn't even know about.

WtybrownI'm fairly new to mech keys too. I joined the drop for the GMMK full size keyboard which I plan to use these keycaps on (fairly cheap, swappable switches, RGB backlighting, standard 104 key layout so it works with any cap set that is MX compatible). For this drop had to buy a base set for the alpha keys, a modifier set for the non alpha keys, and the numpad... And added the CMY kit for a bit more color. Most people like the ten-keyless or smaller KBs but I use numpad so much that I use full size. Wish I could adjust to using a smaller keyboard, I guess I could use a TKL and separate numpad. I learned a lot from the mechanical keyboards subreddit too, after I'd already bought a non standard gaming keyboard that I do love but don't need the bazillion extra keys on it. Brown switches are my personal favorite as I do more typing, not much of a gamer.

*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)?
