*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)?

Final finish with zealencio clip, pmk keys (raise, space, and lower are from a grab bag), and sorbothane sheet.
Switch: does not feel the quality of zeal - finish are rougher than r6/7/8/9 zealio direct from zealpc. Sticker does not make much difference on my other builds but make a big difference for this kit. They strongly stabilized the switch base. One faulty switch - great that massdrop provided one extra.
I would use my owner switches during group buy in future.
This keyboard is an average Joe even with lube. After replacing the canvas xda with PMK SA (or GMK cherry, any quality caps), it became awesome. Glad for people did not spent extra for the design. The craftmanship is way under taihao.
Specific complain on the XDA canvas caps: roughest finish for all PBT set I owned. Short stem cause they hit the plate. If I use this cap, there is no need to do any silencing work / resonance, no difference due to the noise above.
Use better keycaps is the key to make it better.
Always prototype one switch with SIP, lube, sticker, and check against pcb. SIP fit in well - lower than flush.
Stickers: my first keyboard that they makes a difference.
Lubed switches and put caps on - one faulty identified - metal clip broken.
1.8mm led
Put sorbothane sheet in case, assembled with SA caps and silencing clips.
