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

taken from: https://matt3o.com/dev-tty-round-2-harder-better-faster-sharper/ ============================================= Long time I haven’t posted an update about the second round of /dev/tty. As you all well know I wasn’t very happy with the dye-sub quality of the first drop and –honestly– how Massdrop handled the whole development phase.
Fortunately this time things are moving smoother. I’m getting prototypes at a constant pace and the first impression is very good.
First of all, legends look sharper. The dye-sub job –at least on my prototypes– is top notch. From the pictures below you can see on the left Round 2 on the right the old legends. You’ll notice less color bleeding and very fine edges; distance between letters is the same but characters are more readable.
Legend centering is also better or at least between specifics. Please bear in mind that it’s extremely tedious to dye-sub small concave surfaces and I think this time around they did a really good job. =========================================== TLDR: better dyesub job, better centering of legends. R1 was a bit fuzzy, kinda thick font, and it had a lot of crooked legends from what I remember. Matt3o believes those issues have been addressed at least in part according to the samples he received back in July.
Also 9/3 (Yesterday) was a Monday and a holiday. Shipping in the US is pretty much shut down for that weekend through Mon and takes a few days to catch up and backlogged work. Again, it'll happen, but there'll be some delay.
the profile is interesting, the board is comfortable but i just got it so still getting used to different switches.
I'd say Massdrop has done a good job keeping us up-to-date on the progress of this drop. Here's a summary:
• Original estimated shipping date was 7/31.
• About three weeks before 7/31, @YanboWu informed us that delivery was delayed and gave a new estimated shipping date "in late August" - let's call that 8/28. We were also given the option of canceling our order. https://www.massdrop.com/buy/massdrop-x-matt3o-devtty-custom-keycap-set/talk/2138678?utm_source=linkshare&referer=AV5F4D
• About four weeks before 8/28, @JaleesaG informed us that the drop was further delayed and the new estimated shipping date was mid-September - let's call that 9/15. We were also given a credit of $10. https://www.massdrop.com/buy/massdrop-x-matt3o-devtty-custom-keycap-set/talk/2167340?utm_source=linkshare&referer=AV5F4D
• On 8/30 (16 days prior to 9/15), @JaleesaG informed us that shipping will start about 9/7. This is earlier than the 9/15 estimate. https://www.massdrop.com/buy/massdrop-x-matt3o-devtty-custom-keycap-set/talk/2186471?utm_source=linkshare&referer=AV5F4D
The clarity and centering of the legends are really good though! If only I didn't have these two minor but major issues 😅
