*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)?

This Ergo layout is popular from the data we have, so it's being offered, hope you understand!
Same for GMK Laser. Proper Planck compatibility just needs 3 more keys compared to the Base Kit (R2 Tab, R3 Esc, R4 Enter). Will you put those 3 more keys into the Base Kit or will you force even Planck users to buy an entire ErgoPlanck kit for just 3 keys?
There will never be a single kit with legends that will make everyone happy. But you need enough flexible options so that you can please even the most demanding user. And this is arguably easier with DSA kits.
Enough options are already provided, all kits for sale here come with the necessary keycaps to fill its respective keyboard. If you gonna end up with 100% perfect legends on all positions, that's another story. When you decide to build a custom weird keyboard like the Ergodox, or when you decide to buy an ISO ABNT2 keyboard for example, you should know what you're getting into - which is a niche (mechanical keyboards) of a niche (Ergodox) of a niche (non-Infinity) of a niche (aftermarket custom keysets).
The purpose of a groupbuy, especially ABS 2shot ones, is not to offer snowflakey kits and options, but to strike a balance and offer tangible options for the average user - which will most likely reach a minimum order quantity. Adding a pair of 1.5u blanks to the Ergodox kit wouldn't make much sense because at this point the user would be mixing blanks and legend keycaps, and it defeats the aesthetic conceptual purpose I had in mind when I conceived this product.
> Will you put those 3 more keys into the Base Kit or will you force even Planck users to buy an entire ErgoPlanck kit for just 3 keys?
Will I keep these keycaps on its dedicated kit or will I force ANSI/ISO/60%/TKL/96%/104 to buy 3 useless keys? Just showing to you that your standpoint (albeit valid) is subjective, from the perspective of someone that would like to save as much money as possible. In any case, the Laser GMK kits were completely re organized and will be offered in a completely different manner, when the time comes.
Looking forward to both drops at any rate! (:
