*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!

IF A SINGLE PERSON ORDERS A KIT, IT WILL GET MADE.

Hello astronauts, welcome to the Godspeed XDA drop page!
You can see the available kits on the drop description and you can read the small FAQ that I've put together below. I'm going to be working on a keyboard compatibility list/essential kits for coverage based on the most popular form factors, manufacturers and layouts so stay tuned for that as well.
There are many renders and different combinations of kits displayed on my website (link below), but I'll be working on more. We are going to add 40%, Planck, 96% and other form factor renders in the upcoming days as well, so stay sharp for that!

FAQ:
> What typeface will be used for the dyesub process?
The exact one seem on the renders.
> How thick are XDA PBT keycaps?
About 1.3 mm thick.
> Are the Godspeed XDA PBT and Godspeed SA keycaps interchangeable?
If you don’t mind using keycaps with completely different profiles at the same time, then yes.
> Are the colors used on Godspeed XDA PBT the same ones used on Godspeed SA?
No, the colors are different as Godspeed XDA PBT is slightly more subtle/pale, as seen on the renders.
> Was there a prototype at the Seattle Meetup?
Yes, this keycap set has been in the works for a while and we started sampling prior to the drop. Our manufacturer produced a proof of concept for the typeface thickness. The orange keycap is not the Ares orange, a random orange keycap was used. We are making the necessary adjustments so the final product will have pristine alignments, colors, etc.
Very excited for the 1st!
imho (and apparently not only my opinion) XDA is really a good set, perfect for my taste, but it has only this big issue, homing keys!
Thanks MiTo!
5 on Probe Dishes is also scooped, while the 5 on Alphas is non scooped.
Does that make sense?
I use Dvorak, so I'd like non-scooped F & J to go with the scooped U & H in the Probe Dishes set. Colemak & BÉPO users would also want them.
The 5 key makes sense now, thanks!
We have non-scooped and scooped FJ keycaps included in Alphas, look at the right corner of the render and you'll see the scooped ones!
Sorry for my confusion, and thanks for your quick replies. It looks like it's going to be another great drop!
No ROW, all ROLL.
US ISO would be the following?

EDIT: I'm wondering about the legend abbreviations on this set (EDL, RCS, etc.)

PS: Don't take me wrong, I'm not trying to be an asshole, I just really don't wanna do a mistake by ordering a color that won't perfectly match you know, cheers
The color is not a 100% match with Canvas.
I would have assumed that with the issues from XDA Canvas sorted out this will actually arrive faster than Feb 27, 2018?!
Thanks.
Thank you so much for your help!
However this is the layout I was trying to replicate:https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/9c/67/2c/9c672ca5d7cd5140dcec05d93848ac6b.jpg
Blanks kit is an alternative to the Erg kit for the Esc and Del key.
I am thinking about getting in on this and I was wondering if Feburary is actually an accurate timeline for this group buy?
Thanks!
Also as there is a big lack on this young standard, I understand that it's not attractive for the moment.
But,… but this drop could be a good beginning to promote the bépo. There is an active community http://forum.bepo.fr/ so I can say «Hey guys there are bépo keycaps made by MiTo!» on this forum.
gawr, I learn bépo because I didn't type well with an azerty meaning I was always watching my fingers, and I searched a manner to improve that. Now I type without watching my fingers on an ortho keyboard with blanc keycaps. AZERTY is a non sens for me.
It's difficult at the beginning but it's the future ;-)
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh come on! Bring back the rune keycaps from Canvas then! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!
I'm not aware of another layout with E as a home key.

This is the first set of caps to get me addicted and I'd like to round up some extras of different colors. Searching high and low on /r/mecanicalkeyboards and where ever I can find a lead.
Love your work, hoping for Godspeed XDA round 2 and everything else you release. :)
