*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)?

Keyboard. Not keycap set, keyboard. Like, a metal-encased electronic device with functionality + 104 bits of plastic, as opposed to just the plastic bits. Same price, almost to the dollar.
Us lot here who really value high quality key-caps NEVER throw them away especially when it's Made in Germany by one of the best manufacturers of these type of keys. When you buy a DolchPAC it stays with you for LIFE. In fact it gets passed on to your Grand-kiddies in your last will and testament.
We are the ones safe guarding the future because we never throw away our high quality purchases, no matter what.
I think it's a really attractive set, part of me is jealous. But another part of me is insulted that the manufacturer decided to go low volume/high price for something made out of molded plastic (or in this case, low volume/insanely, alienatingly high price).
In regards to Elrick though... >>Keycaps. >>Plastic. ABS plastic, at that. >>"Safeguarding the future"
Wow, okay.
I mean the only reason I even posted is that the cult status on otherwise easily duplicated items gets a little silly. Today they have "the original machining tools", tomorrow the price goes up another 30 bucks, but they start using ABS made from only the finest Peruvian biomass, balanced in Zen temple labs by wizened plasticmeisters when the moon is full.
The world doesn't need any more Apples, even just the one is one is too many.
1) PBT is less resistant to shine than ABS
but
1) PBT feels dryer than ABS 2) PBT colors have a different shade to them than ABS 3) You can't dye-sub the Dolch colorway, so double-shot is the only option. There are no decent double-shot PBTs in the market. Tai-Haos are thin and coated, Vortex ones have fuzzy legends 4) Other double-shot ABSes like SP and Tai-Haos are thin
In summary, these are nowhere near easily duplicated items. Most other sets do not even come close in matching the following qualities of GMK key caps that make them desirable for those who appreciate them. 1) Thick 2) Doubleshot 3) Cherry Profile
And yes, key cap shine does add character to a board. And the legends will never wear away, so these do last forever.
GMK has to stop what they are doing with the molding machines, change the setup to our custom sets, run them, and change them back to the next configuration. All this costs man-hours and downtime. That cost gets passed on to us. If we were to order 10.000 sets prices would be really different.
