I got mine the other day and was finally able to open it up and assemble it last night. I bought some plate mount Zealios since they were sold out by the time I ordered mine. My plate had the same look as has been posted on here before with the jagged edges but they didn't prevent me from installing the switches, they actually went in easily and are held very firmly in the sockets without causing the switches to jam. The only thing that didn't go well during assembly was the stabilizer for the spacebar. I installed it after having to shave down the edges to get it to fit in the plate, but it wouldn't work when it was all said and done. From what I can tell, it just won't sit correctly and wouldn't connect with the keycap so I had to cut the stems off. It does prevent the sides from going down too far so I guess that counts as working. Overall I'm pretty happy with it, it is just a little bit of a struggle to learn the new layout, but today is my first day with it so that will come. The shift only on one side is so far the hardest thing to get used to. Next up, learning how to program it.

darknyght00https://github.com/jackhumbert/qmk_firmware Its about a third of the way down the page, the section is titled "Space Cadet Shift: The future, built in" using it makes the left shift when pressed and released with no other keys enter an open parenthesis and the right does a close with the same. Its wonderful.

PoLoMoToAh, of course! That sounds like a pretty good plan. What did you end up doing with the enter key?

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

My Kingdom for Smooth ABS SA Keycaps
Every time I build a new keyboard, I go hunting for keycaps. And every time I go hunting, it eventually devolves into a desperate search for SA (or equivalent) profile keycaps with a smooth finish. SA is the ultimate profile, IMHO, and they're relatively hard to come by. Signature Plastics, which is where a lot of SA sets come from like the T0mb3ry SA Carbon set (they might actually hold the trademark on the SA profile if I'm not mistaken), is reportedly going through some management/ownership struggles (last I heard, they're looking for new ownership), and along with apparently the rest of the industry, they seem to be neglecting this superior keycap profile in their own stocks. If you order direct from them, they have a couple themed sets in stock (maybe), but generally you can have any color you want, as long as it's black or white. Drop carries a fair number of MT3 profile sets, which are very similar to SA. But just like SP's SA-P profile, they're made with a different...
